Glad the journey went well. As far as the wheels go there are a couple of good refurb places so unless mini do it for free then use an independent specialist.
The last time I checked it's about 40-50 quid a corner for a full refurb and paint/powder coat.
Del used someone around Glasgow and stoney new someone decent too.
Infact I'll need to get them to remind me so u can get mine booked in.
Mind and get plenty pics posted too.
