Pics of the car with alloys on, needs a good wash and will be lowered soon but not sure how low to go.









Still need to finish the paint work and fit my mini stage 1 kit to get rid of the granny exhaust.
Sorry about the pics looks alot better/shinyer in real life but it was very overcast when i took the pics.
I think it will have a decent stance when its lowered,any one got any advice about lowering.
Original wheels were steel 12 x 4.5, new alloys 12 x 5 but look so much wider when i put them on the car.

very tidy mate! nice motor too, thinking of gettin another 1 to use as a run around while i respray my clubby estate

Thanks for the comment , they are cheap to buy and run the trouble is finding a good one i spend ages looking for the one i have now but i was quite picky.
And it turned out being picky has worked very well since i have got a 100% genuine 1 elderly owner and 100% genuine car for £300.

Yep just not sure how much to lower it by, any one got any advice on how low and what needs doing to cut the metal cones.

anyone know if a mini steering wheel boss will fit my car im on the look out for a cheap MOUNTNEY wheel at MITP.

I have taken the stage 1 exhaust and inlet manifold off my mini to fit to the metro hoepfully some time this weekend.

That's looking really cool! I'd lower it a little, I think if you slam them to the deck by taking out all the fluid it ruins the ride and the suspension won't work properly. Does look good though..

love this! once its lowered it'll be spot on. im looking at getting one of these myself but a manual!

There are some really good ones on ebay at the moment.

Absolutely adore this car! I have been looking for a run-around metro for quite a while now but nothing has come up yet in my price range locally. I would definitely lower it though
