    Hi Will, yeah they are Rota wheels, the orange vinyl isn't for everyone but when I got the car it was all grey and I just wanted to do something different :)

    Welcome mate. Sure I've seen this out and about! I did the same as you with my old civic vti that I had for around 8 years. I spent a lot of time and money making it mint, and finally decided to sell it. Regretted it and saw the guy was basically trashing it so bought it back after two and a half months! Couldn't believe the damage he'd done to it! Spent around a year making her mom nt again and then sold her to a genuine enthusiast. She's still going strong now and still looks amazing. Funny how certain cars you really bond with (sounds sad eh! )

    Reckon I'll have my mini for a very long time, just love it!

    Welcome along and that looks like that'll stand out in a crowd. A touch of orange always fits in here just now

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
