    You're right Andy & Lenore, the look you're going for (and have achieved) is a clean, modern MINI look which doesn't need chrome, whereas I've gone for the 'Classic on Steroids/Werthers' approach - as we've said, certain colours lend themselves to a certain 'look' and the Hyper Blue is just that bit more 'contemporary' for the Aero kit etc.

    Now all you need is maybe a set of nice BBS chunky Cross-Spoke-type alloys (not yer BMW R-thingy ones) to finish it (and your bank balance!) off. At the weekend I'm going to drool over your roof and Gill's fabby new seats. MMMMMMMM.......

    Sorry about the 'Pipettes' line... I know you're Rockers at heart, I'm just going off mine.

    Is this you self proclaiming yourself to be a riot as well, or stating that you are looking forward to seeing Euan on Sunday too?
