Haven't got a mini yet, but plan on a cooper replica

Here are the things;
- 4 front fogs
- White roof
- White stripes (£6)
- Chrome Bumpers
- Chrome Grille
- Respray Mirrors
- Minilite alloys
- Cooper steering wheel
- Sportspack arches
- Cooper badges

Can you copy this list and put the prices next to them in brackets (like by the white stripes) of how much you think i should pay for them.

Cheers

- 4 front fogs--about 40quid with a bar
- White roof--A few rattle cans from halfords and some masking tape (10quid) :tongue:
- White stripes (£6)
- Chrome Bumpers--25quid for stainless steel, which wont peel off and corrode
- Chrome Grille--will prob come with one!!
- Respray Mirrors--rattle can and masking tape. £3
- Minilite alloys--new? 200+tyres, 2nd hand from 50quid + tyres
- Cooper steering wheel
- Sportspack arches--55quid non genuine, 125quid genuine
- Cooper badges--10-20quid

And if i was to spraypaint my car myself, would the outcome look alright?

TJenkos - preparation is the key to any spray job. Prepare the surface properly, and take time over the spraying and final finish and you can get a great result with spray cans.

I'd get a mountney classic steering wheel, about £50 with the boss.

Late Mini Cooper Sportspack in great condition (£4000ish)

Late Cooper's aren't exactly rare, just buy one.

Im 15, A cooper for 17 cost too much, and for the insurance, i dont even want to know!

[gsms]

yeah, insurance for a young driver on a cooper can be pricey!!

...is it group 8??

[TJenkos]

Are most of them things (fogs, arches, bumpers) priced from ebay, or shops?

What is the Fog bar for? dont they just screw onto your bumper?

my 1990 cooper carb is group 6 :smartass:

[mattvallins]

Mine were Minispares, from MiniMag infront of me :smartass:
Some other places might be cheaper.
The light bars fit to the bumper and raise them I think.
I dont use one because my car is weird.
