I baught my mini Ritz a year ago and have put a lot of money into it it's just gone through it's MOT this week so i was thinking of starting to do some more work to her. This is my progress so far.

This was her when i got her! Really good condition just a few little thii owner will have. She had 36000 miles from 1 elderly lady owner which i'm in contact with she is in her 70's! As soon as i got her i had a head full of ideas for her and couldn't wait to get her home to Cornwall from Peterborough it only took 7 and a half hours! But uneventfull thank god!

So i started by changing a few minor things just for looks!
Such as clear indicators

Then a new cooper style badge


then some shiney new wipers

She is looking good now i gave her a full valet as i used to do it for a job! Next on the list is wing mirrors!

Not very happy with these they look to close to the car i think i will get a tex set they look much better i will leave these for a while.

They are getting very rare LE's now as there is only 86 left on the road according to the DVLA!

Mine is my first car..the chap i bought it from had messed with the engine and parts were missing, the head had been off and it had been sitting in his garage for a while..It was good to put it all back together :)

Some other little mods i made just for cosmetics


The wipers made such a difference!

You will find a lot of mini's have been messed with i was lucky that it was an elderly woman that had mine so i know it hadn't been molested! I love putting parts back together too if i remember where they went! :)
