Hey guys and girls!

Im new and just bought my first Mini One a few weeks ago. So i'll just introduce myself :)

Im Leigh, 19 and live in Fife just bought my mini one, 1.6 2003 model, 24k its black and pretty much standard with 15" alloys. Its also got a private plate on the now, but its gonna get taken off so i can put my own one on.

Not got alot of plans for it tbh, looking for a set of 17"s for it, just taking ages to decide what ones i want!
Put smoked side repeaters on today which i think looks much better.

Heres some pics i took just after i washed it the other weekend, will post more pics up once i get the new wheels on too, but might not be for a while!

comments welcome :)

Probably best to get over to the car care forum and search about or ask what you're wanting to achieve......................luckily, i can't help cause i own the manky club :Whistle: :D you're more than welcome to join in :thumbs up:

Welcome.
Set of black and chrome alloys would look good on your car imo. Also when the alloys are on i would take the one off aswell

Hey welcome. :smilewinkgrin:
I've got a wee black One too, it's amazing how much better the smoked side repeaters look! I've got 17" BSA Livewires on mine, black with a chrome lip, just wanted to keep it all black and chrome but really like them on it!
If I'm giving it a good clean it usually gets polished with Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine - tried a few different ones but I feel that gets it looking the shiniest! :p

with a ONE, try and get the lightest set of 17s you can, it makes a massive difference to the acceleration and fuel economy. S-Spokes are probably as heavy as you can get when combined with runflats.
