As per the wanted thread, I managed to shatter one of my minilights today, GUTTED. Couldn't get the tire to seal in the wheel well so decided to lube up the bead and beat it into the lower bead then pull the tire over to get the air to seal it. Decided to use a mallet to seat the tire and managed to smash a 2 inch chunk out of the alloy. Left it with my mate to weld it back in and dress it in and keep for a spare. I decided to order 2 new ones from MWS cos I haven't got a spare but they don't have the silver only the silver highlight so I gotta get the faces diamond cut now to match the 2 new ones. Mini's eh! I suppose it is my fault for being such a heavy handed "censored".

Clever boy....my A**E fell out when it shattered and I though YOU KNOB!!!, I though feck, where do I get ONE spare wheel from. Didn't realise the MINI LIGHT wheels were made by Midland Wheels and are still available so I managed to get hold of them and order 2 new ones so I will also have a spare now.
