Mm, guess I'll have to have them then. I'll keep them in the same place because I'm trying to keep things original.. well MK1 style, but of course MK1s didn't have side repeaters but nevermind! Thanks Adcuz.

You'll be fine :D Just give it some time.


Turns out in the same day she broke up with me she kissed another lad who she's liked for a while, so that helped me get over her so much faster. Although I only pushed him around when I drove into town to find him, I'm going to break his nose next time. They both lied to my face and said nothing had happened, it was her best friend who had to tell me what had happened. So yeah I've had a brilliant past couple of weeks, but chin up hey? I haven't done anything wrong and I'm still the same lad, I've got my family, mates, mini, college & Uni coming up next year.

Anyway!

I ordered a black & white stick on plate from Craigs Plates so that'll kick off the front flip >_< I know it isn't legal.. but as far as I know there haven't been any problems in the MOT with the current Square stick on plate. & I'll need side repeaters right? :D


You will have more money to spend on the mini now bud :thumbsup:

It's not the passing the MOT that's the problem with the illegal plates, it's the points the on your licence you might get if the police are savvy enough to pick up on you driving about with them on.

That said, they're darn sexy looking things!

Cheers mate! But don't worry, she said she'll still get a classic car & we'll go to shows :thumbsup:

Haha, don't say that! I knew that'd be a problem, any tricks and tips?

Can't wait >_< I'm going to sit it in my room and start adding bits to it when I buy them.

Once it's down is it down?

Should look lovely when it's on! I'll have to run it about in the white gel coat for a long time though until I get the whole thing resprayed :).

Dez just the bloke I was after, will I need different brace bars if I'm going to use the hinges you've got?

Hey mate, haven't seen you in a while! Yeah it's a shame but I'm sure things will either sort themselves out or they happened for the better.

Gradual progress as usual but I'll get there soon :) did you get yours back from the body shop?
