How hard have you been looking? Did you know that the MGF and lots of other MG-Rovers share a steering column with the MPI Mini? an MGF boss will fit for example. But heres a Mini-specific one

Horn button, SRS light, etc etc. Do some research before you do it.

Ok change of plans.

As you can see on older pictures I had a sportex when I just bought her but it was far too loud and I also noticed that it resulted in power/performance loss. Now driving around with the stock exhaust but was planning to buy a Fletcher single exit 3". Bungle told me that the 3" fletcher would also result in performance loss on a MPI. Any ideas anyone ? Is a Maniflow the only decent option then ? I want to keep the original look meaning a single exit on the left with the CAT included. The stock one is really silent and will scrape even more when lowered.

Ok so I had a lot of PM's about the wheels. I test fitted them today and everything fits just right ! Even the original MPI wheel nuts fit perfectly. I'm still a student so money comes slowly Next thing on the list is 4x 165/70/10 a032 yoko, shortened GAZ shocks and a fletcher single side exhaust with cat.

 

if interested in those wheels I advise you to go for 7,5 minisport calipers because it really is a tight fit, less than a pinky between caliper and wheel.

ps #1 : because it was jacked up it looks like there is a huge gap between wheel and arch, no worries ;).

ps #2 : sorry for the crappy cellphone pics.

looks amazing man good job 

[jamesmpi]

Yum. That looks lush

[Driezzie]

Thanks ! Not the best place to jack the mini up by the way but couldn't get under the front anymore due to bottom protection plate etc. It was a one time thing have to find another way.

Very nice!  Pinky space between calliper and wheel?  PLENTY space!  Could be 1mm and still plenty space
