Tank u!

They twist and lock onto the wheel, unlike normal hubcaps so they cant just come off. I've cut my hands twice on the valve cap trying to twist them off!

Sounds good to me!

Black, to go with his dark personalitiy!

Nice looking motor. I think you should spend some money on a new number plate for the rear though

I probably will do at some point, but they'll be a bit flashy but still legal (no unreadable text or trying to make letters out of rivets).

Although those pennies have more important things to go towards, like a new set of shocks or some speaker pods for the doors.

I really do think your rear number plate lets the car down though, only a tenner and it'll not let the rest of the car down
Its all well and good having shiny bits but why have all that nice stuff and a peeling number plate that looks old and knackered?

[Mini_Magic]

Good point, where can I get a replacement one for as cheap as a tenner?

Think halfords do them for 12 quid.

Have you got any plans for the engine?

Have you got any plans for the engine?

It's so darn reilable that I probably won't touch the engine, I'm quite happy with the performance as it is.

[Mini_Magic]

What do we think of this?

[minili]

It's a numberplate.... Not much more to think about it, to be honest. As long as the lettering's legal, why not. Are you going to get a matching front one at least

[Mini_Magic]

Glad we cleared up that one!

Are you going to get a matching front one at least

That is the plan but as I said above I'll probably get some new shocks first.

[minili]

Well you asked what people though! And there's not alot to say about a numberplate!

[Mini_Magic]

If I do decide to get some new shocks, which brands would you guys recommend? Can I still have two people in the back with lowered shocks? Ideally I'd like to go lower all round but still keep the car practical, is that possible?

I might not even need to change my shocks, I'll take the knocking one out and give it a proper looking over once the fuel tank is low.

Yes, Adjustable Konis came as standard on most Sportspacks. One of mine appears to be making a clonking noise so it be a good time to change over to lowered shocks.
