yeah I am still deciding on arches, either group 5 euros or the miglias on that mini above, 

that mini was for sale on ebay recently and it does look spot on! 

Incidentally I think that mini is running the 10x7s with massive spacers hence the extra width

Artful Dodger: It's not a red hot LE its a checkmate, Its just the guy who restored it before me re-sprayed it and did all that, all paperwork still says checkmate.
 
And Im going to give those 10s some thought, but in good time I will air ride this so it will be sitting pretty, just don't expect miracles too soon 
 
Also guys, when did a 6" sticker decided what a car was?

Mine has always been a Flame red, my mate also had a racing green but for some reason on the V5 they all say checkmate

They all be Minis , whatever the sticker says!

I would go for the miglias and the spacers like that other mini. The stance just seems so right. Its what im tempted with anyway, just not sure what colour I would have the steelies on a red and white car

A little update as my exams are finally over and the sun is out!

 

Fitted the front door cards which came with my seats:

 

I also gave it a clean:

Engine clean enough?

Cars looking pretty mate, not much 'stance' yet but getting there slowly...

 

Also, you say your on 13's at the moment, your not...There 12's! 

[doormatt]

Yeah realised that the other day   
And stance will be coming soon, just doing up a car isn't much fun on a student budget

[Alex_B]

stop spending money on other things

Mines on a student budget afterall



although mines still lacking stance

[Alex_B]

I know how you feel with spending lots! I would love to go down to 10s to help the stance but I haven't measured the size of my brakes and its getting onto £200 to buy a conversion kit

[Alex_B]

you will have the 8.4s im sure so yeah you would need the conversion which isnt cheap, i got mine in the group buy on here recently and saved a few quid on it

[doormatt]

Will have to keep an eye out on those threads then and look out for a cheap kit! Gonna have to stick with the 12s atm but I will still put on some hilos and spacers to get the stance going

Wow long time since I posted on this thread but I will make it up with an EPIC update. Its been slow with progress recently due to many things going wrong on the car such as the exhaust falling off multiple times and failing its mot, and also learning to drive and passing my test 1st time . BUT it is back on the road so I can start doing more of the fun stuff. Sadly the stancing won't start to the beginning of next year but the interior is almost done now! I have almost finished it off by putting on a boot lid liner and having a complete overhaul on the ICE. A local company called AudioFile In-car has done the work and it is such as beautiful set up. I designed the set up myself and they tweaked it a bit and came out with this beauty:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the boot lid cover/liner:

Looking really nice mate, and a very tidy mini from the photos, it would look wicked on a set of 10x7's splits, nice and low camber etc..

[megamini_jb]

Love the interior
