Thanks mate, easy for you to say it looks nice, I reckon ours are pretty similar nowadays haha! I'm gutted you beat me to the rosettes on the wings and castrol stickers in the windows, thats exactly what I was going to do! The wheels are definately the s copies, and fit very snugly with the brakes. Mine came second hand but never fitted with tyres from a guy in Bristol that custard found for me. I dont know where they were from before that, never seen them in chrome before. Need to sort the ride height out and adjust the camber arms, get a nice stance on the go  |

Not tempted by the lovely looks of a MK1 moustache?

Nope, think that grille is nicer and less commonplace.

Is it Mini Speed?
I bought my self some new wheels yesterday too, got some Dunlop Reverse Rims 10" x 4" 1/2. hopefully they'll fit over my brakes!!! They aint gonna look like yours though Danny, i got something else in mind for them...
It is looking really good though, will be spot on with the ride hight sorted. Feel free to use the stickers, think i might be changing them soon.

Dunno what to do though, had all that work done to make the arches nice and neat, and although it didnt cost much, the guy spent ages fabircating, and to be fair it's a great job. Dunlop reverse rims eh? Nice choice! What's wrong with the minilites? I thought they were beautiful! I'm looking at a few different stickers to finish her off, but gonna get the sides repainted first.

Not much of an update, but she's been running a bit hotter than normal lately (temp gauge up on the half way line) so I've changed the expansion tank and cap, fitted a new thermostat and flushed the entire system til the water ran clear. Not helped any though, so I'm still hunting on that one... In other news, I've irradicated the rear fog light and bought a little connector to use one of the reversing lights as a fog light. Makes the back end look tidier. Oo, and fitted some magnetic door circles She's in for MOT today, and I know for a fact the drivers radius arm has gone stiff, and one of the rear drums isnt operating properly. So that'll come back with a nice list of jobs to do tomorrow! Well not tomorrow but thursday, since I'm off to pick up a new MX-5 tomorrow Heres a shot of her from over the weekend at the NTFW:  |

Oh, and I've found a set of arches to go on the front so I can bring the ride height down a bit at the front!
