looking sexual ;) i'll post pics soon.i was worried because i've never seen the variation before so it was a big gamble, but i think they used their own common sense too and its definately paid off. I wanted 4 lights in a row, but they grouped em in twos and must say, looks nice n chunky that way.

If it helps anyone, my insurance costs for the kit and 4 lamps went up by just £7.90, and for the JCW Kit, upgraded brakes and susp, it would only cost an extra £20. Which is pretty good. Thats with Frizzel / Liverpool Victoria.

wheels are next, but thats after i pay for the damage repair the vandals cost. I've got two quotes £350 and £550 from Grassicks and JC's respectively. Big difference yet again. The scratch on the bonnet is noticeable but the others arent but i'd like to get em sorted asap for the winter will soon be upon us.

Thanks for the kind words :) I'm thinking of getting Anthracite Mille Miglia 18" HT3s cos i love the dark wheels. That'll be a while though :S ah well.

But yeh, i'm really pleased with how it came out. Like i said big gamble but it was worth the risk.

I wanted 4 lights in a row, but they grouped em in twos and must say, looks nice n chunky that way.


Lights looks spot on KJ, well impressed. Who did the mod for you? Your dealer? How much for the 4 lights?

we could meet up in another carpark. How about the ASDA car park in Milton, on the Kingsway? we'd not be too far from halfrods. Say the back of the car park since no one goes there, or perhaps somewhere safer now that i think of it. How about the car park at McDonalds by the UGC, where the outside inn is.

The carpark at KFC will do me mine, brightly lit, fewer places for neds with eggs to hide!:eek: What time??
Zimbo/Ewan, you guys coming??:p

Spot on KJ:). The body kit is very very subtle:cool:. Saw it on a white Cooper at Dunedin yesterday and it looked good, but it looks great in the silk.
Mrs WF is being less than subtle about the need for side skirts on Marsha;). Will have a good look at the weekend.

Well, after having now seen KJ's mini in the flesh, I must say, it looks the biz, no wonder he's so chuffed!:D
