hey dude! after putting in a new drive shaft, its been alright haha!
been doing quite a bit recently to it as well!

alcantara - all interior pillars, lower tray, various small parts, full rooflining, gear and handbrake gaiters
painted rear grab handles
stripped and boarded/carpetted rear
cargo net for camera equipment
red tinted rear lights
custom phone holder installed
relocated cigarette lighter
DIY modified dogbone mount to raise rear of engine to allow better angle for driveshafts.

now just waiting for a quote back for repainting the roof, rear bumper bar, number plate bar, and alot of interior panels.

some recent pics i've taken, nothing to show the changes though!







also upping my wheel game, so the KW Turbos are for sale!

This is just epic!

I keep saying I want to sack the current daily off and get a mini.

Seeing so many reasons why I should here!

if im honest, i absolutely love the car! and i love the direction its going in, stripped rear, black alcantara everything! and then a nice pastel blue colour for certain interior parts, and wheel centres.. when i get some splits!

great cars and ive had no problems apart from snapping one none OEM shaft!

[Earl]

Good work=) I cannot wait to see what wheels you have in the works. The KW turbos will be missed though

Hi mate! I've got the same car in the same color!

I've got 1 question... How did u pull up engine? Did u do this?

[cus]

some small updates recently.
managed to get a sponsorship from Obsessive Detail, who provide some really great cleaning products massive fan of their wheel cleaner, glass cleaner and wax!

also got a magazine feature too!! was really surprised when the Editior of Modern MINI Magazine came and asked me if i wanted a feature. So decided to wait until after America to do that

latest changes..
dash is now alcantara
boot built with alcantara and sunken bottles
glovebox finally found and fitted!
renewed vinyl on the front lights.
lowered the car more

thanks man

winter mods include:
recaro/tombstone seats.. possible porsche or z3?
new front seats and current rear seats dyed a deep black colour
camber plates to allow -4 degrees up front, so i can keep 8.5" wheels
cooper s rear bumper, but with a smooth recess , so no exhaust on show (if possible without paint)
new wheels! something with a polished lips and painted centres. no fakes though.. but something a bit different to the usual.
i'm gonna try and keep the kw's though. refurb them, and keep them locked away
