Hey, i think my car is sitting a bit high in those photos because its just come off the jacks outside my house, it normally does sit a bit lower than that. But i'd still love to lower the car a little but the exhaust scraps on everything let along if i lowered it. Maybe if i try and mount the exhaust a little bit higher i could lower it to get the stance spot on, but we'll see.

Fantastic looking car. I've always wanted to go for some W&P arches on my Sportspack cooper but have been told it'll leave the old holes on show on the rear. Has yours been filled in and sprayed? Shame about the dent. Keep us updated with this.

Nice mini! The 10's look so chunky! love it. Have you got the rear spot on the boot wired in or is it just there to look awesome?

Sorry to hear about the dent, vandalism has prevented further progress on my mini as well.

Gyser, i'll have your sportspacks if you get W&P's - Just let me know

Also, what tyres are they? A302r's rings a bell? Love the tread pattern, and chunky look on 10's, just a really "sick" look

Not so sure it would suit my Mini, even with deep dish wheels and sportspack arches... Funny how colour can affect the style you think suits and doesn't.

Thanks guys.
The spot lamp isn't wired up yet, I bought some switches and some speakers the other day so i'll probably wire it all in the same time I think. I want to get a Mk boot lid with a fold down number plate too, the rear will be pretty close to how I want it then.
Yeah, the tyres are A032's, they are very sticky but they don't last very long, i'm on my second front set in under a year. I love the look of them too, I might colour some of the writing on the tyre wall in white but i'm a bit unsure. What do you guys think?

[Racer_Pete]

what a stunning looking mini, well done to you!

[DanielBDavies]

Oh, and I forgot to say, the car didn't come with a sportspack so the W&P arches cover the holes where the original plastic arches where. So I didn't have to fill any body work or anything .

Did all MPI's come with sports pack arches? It could just have been a mpi with out the sports pack on it from the factory meaning their wouldn't be any holes to cover.

[DanielBDavies]

No, not all MPI's had sportspack arches mine came with the standard black plastic ones with 12" Pepperpots. The Sportspack was just an optional extra.

[DanielBDavies]

Well finally my car went in to get its bodywork done yesterday. Can wait to get it back looking all new! I just hope everything goes well.

[LuckyThe1275]

Yay!

How long's it going to be?

[DanielBDavies]

The guy thats doing it for me said it it'll be a few days, so before Christmas i think....yay...!

[mini_mad69]

You followed me and my mate into Sarn, hows this coming along? Dent fixed?

[minipete]

Very nice mate,the 10`s suit it.Its a real shame about the dent,there are some real scum bags about.

[DanielBDavies]

The dent isn't sorted out yet, still a couple of days left on it I think. Can't wait to get it back now thou, feels like I haven't driven it in ages!
