If budget is an issue loook at the st coilovers.

I had an R53 which had the bushes done and it was more than capable. The only improvement would have been coilovers, it wad pretty harsh on standard suspension without run flats!!!

Harry Fairbairn BMW in Kirkcaldy give a better discount than cotswold btw.

scrap that exhaust idea its going straight back trickery photos as its not a cat back system. i would of had to cut my std and join the 2. waste of £22 to send it back and a paypal claim see how long that takes

will stick with my 1 ball std system until i can find a proper system for sale other things first

what it looked like v

I wouldn't go cheaper than AP coilovers. Just FYI, if I mentioned my knocking (can't remember now) it's actually the top mounts... so at this point I wouldn't recommend Silver Project ones!

Not sure if you can still do it but I signed up to free PayPal returns. 12 months, anything bought via PayPal can be returned for free :smile: and it's free to sign up to. Actually got to use that on a MINI part tomorrow because I got a new hub carrier and the bearing is absolutely knackered ffs.

ive paid the post now but will go and have a look into it now. was gutted when pulled the exhaust out to find its a pile of s**t to me imo i tend to put it down as a ah well but i had to return it lol. im going to stick with the 1 ball for the time being sort the suspension and brakes out first i think

With the free returns you send it back then can claim the money back through PayPal... does help if you take a photo of the recipients address, but not essential.

nothing new ordered the intake silicone hose to go to the air filter as i opened it up to confirm it is a stealth option :)

thinking of oredering the omp top on lower strut brace the top dosnt do much but hear but bottom seems to stiffen it up that will do also want to eliminate the chance of the coolent bottle splitting as seems to happen quite often so a alloy coolent tank will be bought

Bloody hell @cs_dave that’s gutting!! Hope your ok, if you are that’s the main thing. At least your handy with the spammers so can repair it easily enough. There’s plenty of minis being broken (don’t start on the minis though, killing Clio’s was bad enough!! Lol)

Well yes, of course you can do it cheaper than £480, using OEM quality parts such as Pagid/Brembo from ECP, but for your £280, id be very surprised if you had 3 month old Nitrac discs (£200 a pair), or Carbotech XP8's (£228 a set)! If you have, f*cking well done sir :up:

@cs_dave sorry to see the incident!! But glad you're on the way to getting it fixed already! Great news on the stealth airbox as well. Can thoroughly recommend the OMP lower, certainly makes a difference to stiffness, the OMP upper does bugger all, but looks lovely in the engine bay.
