well mine isn't getting a xmas present as my home cinema is finally getting finished for my xmas... only taken me just over a year to get the cash together... :rolleyes::cool:

it is tho getting the rear delete seat kit done very soon (V Cheap ;)) and after the new year will be getting tinted rear windows and new bonnet stripes by our sponsor MINI Designs :thumbs up::smilewinkgrin:

Craig - What is a rear delete seat kit? I'm lost on that one! And Gismo - those brakes are mental, certainly have no problems stopping with them!!

Mine got it early in the shape of Halo LED Sidelights :thumbs up:

May also treat it to some tidier number plates and a nice coat of Wax over the winter :D

Might be coming off the road for 8 months though come New Year :sad: :sad:

All it means is taking out the rear seats and replacing it with a bit of wood covered in black acoustic carpet... :thud::Whistle::yes nod:

That looks awesome, but how heavy must that be!!!! I might be ignorant to these things, be will it not affect the handling?

That's interesting, definitely let us know how it is! It'll look awesome with the new alloys on the car, though quite how you'll keep them clean I'll never know :D

Very nice! Will need to see pics of that once it's done. I may consider that option too as I never use the back seats and could be handy for getting my MTB in and out!
