No more mods. Well got a couple of changes to make but not mods if you like.;)

So far I would say the seats a very comfy but only done about 60 miles in her:) time will tell. However I noticed straight away how much more effective the arm rest was leaning my arm on than what it is in the silver mini with the jcw seats.

Also notice that the ambient lighting in the door pulls in now in a different position to my silver mini.

Nice seats and edging..and be good for ma (_!_) :p
Saw one last week in Parks ...sort of Bronze tint to the grey ?...it looked good .Never been a chrome fan inside ,however it does lift it a bit and as my car is all dark grey and dull inside ,I could be tempted now that I see it on yours ...looks good all round .

looks brialliant, what more can i say :p

although i have a quicky; how do you find the jcw gear stick to the normal gear stick and who did you use for the "angel eye" style sidelights?

Fi, I think that is a stunning car! The interior is awesome!!!

It looks like the kinda car that you would want to go cruising in rather than thrashing it.

Stunning, I seen a parklane last week and thought it was bland and boring......

But somehow this is stunning....must be the Rims, aerokit and spots that does it!!

Car is stunning Fiona :approve::approve: the wheels are SUUUPERB :D;) The basic Park lane is a lovely car but your mods have just set it off beautifully :p:D:D I would agree with Craig as well - I know you will be tempted but no more mods :I;)

That looks REALLY nice. Nice and subtle. Do the arches come colour coded on the PL then?

The side repeater mounts would look good in the same colour as the wheels. :)

Mmm! Very tasty. Is it a trick of the light or my imagination that there is something different about the bonnet from other coopers? Cant put my finger on it but is there a subtle flattening of the bonnet reducing the clam shell shape? :D:D:D

I saw a park lane with the orginal cooper bumpers and the bonnet swipe whilst I was driving through Beauly five minutes later I bumped into Alan in Fi's. They're a bit common aren't they ;). I think the chrome bumpers/grille looks cool.

Mind you I don't fi is a fan of chrome though.

nope don't like chrome. Not aware that anything has changed to the design must just be the way the photo was taken.

Fi, did Alan mention that I'd seen a black MINI with the reg W**FEE. I thought you gone and bought another, love the plate you've got though. Quite apt given the seven dogs Alan was looking after.....
