just need to buy some proper centre caps, dial in the height and camber. raised the engine last night to help me out a bit. i want it alot lower

[cus]

well.. i did a little test fit..










and then this happened...


been screwed over with tyres. the seller on ebay has had his account suspended for fraud. so having to get a refund!

Jesus Christ that Honda.

Looking forward to see your Mini done mate, looking proper

[cus]

Those wheels look great on there=) Is that honda wrapped?

thanks! cant wait to finally get some on and sort the final ride height out!

the honda is sprayed. hes really busy with customer cars, so hasn't had chance to finish it off yet

adapters came, and i had to get them lathed to fit the wheels corrected. created a little 'step', allowing them to sit flat against the wheel. wheels by RH seem to have this issue.
anyway, I managed to trial fit them, and Im really pleased with the outcome..



The wheel sits pretty much resting on the adjuster ring.. barely enough clearance, but thats cool, it spins freely, so im happy.



I then pulled the front arches off and bent the metal lip out, making them stick out more, this will hopefully cure the crappy fitment most minis suffer from.. tucking rears, and poking fronts.
cant tell much in the picture, but its roughly 15mm further out towards the middle of the arch.



Thats abit it for updates. tyres should arrive today, so should be fitted tomorrow if all goes well!!

had to rescue my mate who drives this..





so bouncy! but worth it haha! he owns a bodyshop, look him up on insta MAAUTOS

Good to see another Mini popping up! The wheels look good too! Also looks like you seem to have lost your fuel door.

This is the Driftwood President 2.0 steering wheel i have ordered, but in a mint green. Should be shipped at the end of the week.
I can then get my wooden gearknob and centre rev counter surrounded painted to match .

I have also get a new centre handbrake surround. I wanted the newer style one with the coin holder at the front.
it also has a bigger cupholder at the back to mount my new leather armrest. Should arrive tomorrow.

i dont have any for mine either...but I dont like the look of them anyways...

they are nearly impossible to come by.
Have you thought about retrofitting the Mini ones ??

hmm i could get some vinyl mini badges made up. i have some RH centre caps that fit.. but they are gold. I will use them as a base and either vinyl print a KW or Mini logo
