Thankyou, hahaha, thats probz y its in good nick i sure dont drive it like a grannny

A small up date,

Have ordered a set of hilos, so these will be fitted on friday, if not the weekend .

don't forget that if you want to do the hilos, you'll need much more than just the hilos, you'll need many AF sockets, cone compressor etc etc... unless you are planning on going to maks? in which case, make sure you ask him first to make sure there will be space and time to do so... and you will get very dirty and annoyed with almost all of it...

yeah, a METRIC socket... the vast majority of the Mini is in AF... they do need to be fitted relatively to prevent any cracking on the inner wing from running on the bumpstops...

We shall see, but it is more than likely...

Much prefer this to your last car. I can't put my finger on why but it looked a bit too blingy. This is much more classy looking. I like what you've done with the interior too.

Its not, i dont really get annoyed at things like that easy lol

Small update: I have wired in an amplifier which is running 2 sets of 6 by 9s (a set on the parcel shelf and a set under the rear seats) I am a little worried as the amp is always on, so I think it may slowly drain my battery, will have wait and see, I have also removed the upper dash rail cover (easier than told), as I am planning to put a centre clock in, I will do that as soon as I can get the dam speedo cable off , I tried today, it wouldnt budge, will have another go tomorrow, if I still cant budge it, it will have to wait till the summer.

Ouch! any idea what it could be? could it be the rear section? Also, I have a fair few light units which I can part with...

No, I haven't really looked a it to be honest. it may be, if it is I am glad that I bought the section .

I would be more than happy to take them off you, but remember this isn't the selling section .

Well get out and check then!

if it is, feel lucky

haha I know it isn't, it will be easy enough to arrange and they are nice and easy to bolt in
but on a serious note, you do need the bulbs to stay in all the time...

What in the snow!! lol.

Well I did buy it for that reason, but yh I will feel a little lucky .

I was only joking, and it would save me having to stuff the holes with paper or card lol. It may sort the leak out as well .
yh I know, but its only if I got over loads of bumps, as normally its fine XD

Yes in the snow! Man UP!

Exactly, better safe than sorry

if you are having to stuff cardboard in there then there is certainly something seriously wrong with the holders. , I.E worn holders and such... they have to be replaced... just saying. they aren't safe like that.
