don't know how you fit anything from a BMW MINI into a proper mini, they're huge.

i thought the idea of the mini is to be small as it says in the name mini means small but the bmw mini is not small is huge and they have lost all of the fun of the origional mini

Metro Pods can be made to fit.Look for the self contained one without the switches down the side. The speedo head gearing is the same,(12ins wheels) but the cable fitting at the head is different so get the Metro cable as well,The wiring is the same colour.So It's reasonably easy to wire up the stuff behind the dash, just make sure you get the two multi-plugs for the rear of the pod when you rip things out in the scrappys. Extra electric string is needed for the Rev-counter. Even the handbrake, choke, clock, and seat belt warning lights could be wired up if you feel like it..... Patience, make plenty of notes and even more drawings in colour. Because something always goes wrong.Attached File  DCP_0016_resize.JPG   98.85K   55 downloads
