Very nice indeed, should look great with those on, do they have centre caps ?

 

No center caps but I prefer them without I think anyway mate, if I had them I'd just have the small center parts that come out from the center bore like these racelines

Get those wheels on!! I want to see

Wish my paint was like that as well

A nice leather interior to match all your wood would look good I reckon

 

That has been on the list for a while mate! I dont like the shape of most Metro leather seats, I think the fronts would come from a Hyundai coupe and I'd get a spare rear bench retrimmed with a black leather Rover 25 rear seat cover 

 

I like these from Hyundais, and you can pick them up really cheap

Have you got one colour coded door handle on the back Craig?

 

My Nan had a 114gsi which had a very good grey leather interior. I bet it would suit yours....

 

if you can find one....

Haha good spot! Only fitted one so far I was going to fit chrome ones from a Metro Mayfair but I wasn't sure on them against the metallic, it looked a bit much but I still wasn't sure, and then I broke one whilst trying to fit it and couldnt be bothered to redrill it so that was that really haha

There's a nice metro one on eBay ATM with the earlier seats that have bigger bolsters

Yeah the Hyundai ones are nice tbf

I'm undecided whether to wait for 14s or get some tyres on my Spi Gti crosspokes

Decisions decisions

Ahh yeah they do look quite nice with those little little ones in, either way the rest of the wheels will look stunning on.

And nice job on the paint  ,  that interior looks clean to me

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

I don't like those ones, they look funny  

 

and 14''s change the handling in a bit way from what I've heard, but I don't really mind, they look cool I'll have ARBS to stiffen everything up and its obviously individualised so it should still handle well, it isnt a intended to be fast anyway, me and Simon will use it for a our long drives rather than his Mini, so it just needs to be comfy.

As far as i can remember, this is the leather my nan had

 

 

Not to shabby

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Nice! they're the ones on ebay at the moment. Far too expensive and have a rip in one bolster too.

 

I have those door card toppers to go on which I'm excited about, I just can't fit them until I come up with something for the Electric Window loom, I have the motors etc, just no middle loom. Simple to do though, I shall get Erik our dutch wiring expert and bestest friend on it when hes finished his Mini

[Chance]

I fitted a front anti roll bar recently and it made a big difference

I still haven't individualised or lowered it either so yeah

Fitted a stainless manifold and exhaust which has perked it up nicely too

So I bought everything I need to finish her over the last few days, with the help of paypal 

 

 

Also bought Simon his GAZ adjustables for his birthday which was super exciting, can't wait to see them on the car!  gonna look awesome 

 

Simon is off to America to work at a Mini garage in CA for a month in June, which will be absolutely awesome. I'm going to Holland to visit my dutch friends and do a Mini event on one of the days so that is my new deadline. July 1st the car needs to be MOT'd, Tax'd and insured. May sound easy but SImons deadline is L2b, and heres a look at the current state of his car 

 

 

 

More as it happens

 

Oh also I've bought a Sportex 3" system which will be LOUD  and my Mini bros Erik and Hugo bought me brand new alternator for my birthday which was super nice and I'm so pleased with!
