    Awesome. And I don't really like Audi's.

    f**king northerners. My seats are standard, waiteys are not. I think he said they're £2000 each ! Lol

    You're confusing me with Waitey. You melt. His has flashy seats.

    ramair induction kit

    I've never experienced an EML after fitting an induction kit. I'd say it was something else. If it drives fine, I'm going for cat/lambda issues.

    Having a real disastrous time trying to match paint without a paint code.

    This. There must be a thousand shades of gold. One of them will match.

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    Top end cars were fetching £9/10,000 when I bought this. They're now £15,000 rising to £20,000. Similar to the spike with the Ph2 V6's a few years ago.

    White?? You're mad. They're a pain in the ass to keep clean.

    Not by me, no time! It must have had one with the previous owner though as I Clayed the whole car and next to nothing came off. It's like glass.

    Painting Engine

    Even as a beginner, Basic tools, 30 minutes and you'll have it in bits on the floor. Clean it, Paint it, leave to dry, refit in reverse order. If you get it wrong, just undo what you've done and start again. As my mate says, It's just nuts and bolts. For painting it, just use a can if...

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    Ha! I'd love one mate but I'm giving up with cars now. Now I've got a proper job I just don't have the time to work on them. This took 11 months and really it was 3 weekends work. I'm just going to sell the lot and concentrate on my track car. Hopefully then I'll be able to actually do a...

    Painting Engine

    You don't need a guide mate. It's so straight forward. Just take your time, concentrate, and don't force anything when putting it back together. Apart from changing a wheel, it's about the easiest job you can do on a Clio. Re-using the old gaskets is fine as long as you don't stand on them...

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    Yes indeed they should. But they always looked dirty/dull. So we stripped them all, painted the black bits gloss and polished all the naked metal. They look frikkin awesome.

    If you cleaned it and took some decent pictures, you'll sell that in no time. Let's be honest, it's a bit.... Well, grubby?? Lol

    Aren't you selling yours? Got a link to the advert?

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    I don't think they've dropped that bad. I just traded a 55 plate with a humungous spec, 120k on it, shredded aux belt, every panel scratched/chipped, needing 4 new tyres, for £2250. It's now on the dealers forecourt for £4495. If that was a 182 it would have been lucky to make £800 lol!

    They've rocketed in the last 3 months for some reason. Absolutely shot up in price.

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    Lower mileage ones are advertised for £15k ish, and a smashed up one just sold on copart for £8k so I think £10k is the money. There's some at £20k!! but they have under 10,000 miles on

    Your car when you first joined and now?

    I have some pics now... When I joined In 2005 I had this; And now, I have this (been in a lockup for 8 months, came out today, hence the pics) I'll spare you all the pictures of my boring cars. Nobody wants to see a honda CRV or a Modus diseasal.

    Not unless you leave £5000 in the glove box!

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    Whilst I agree they look naff (they look like they belong in a mondeo) they are proper comfy, the leather is really soft, and they are the fastest/hottest heated seats I've ever used!

    Mini Cooper S Works GP No1021

    11 months of dribs and drabs working on it, and this is the end result. To say I'm happy with it is an understatement! Work we've done; 4 new dunlop SP Sport tyres, 205-40-18 New discs and pads all round Wheels refurbed and re-polished Full service Brake fluid change New timing...

    Aftermarket Wheel/Airbag question

    Get it programmed out via Clip. The car will then know that there is no steering wheel airbag but all airbags are fine. I'd never trust that resistor method personally!

    My New Golf

    It's a really good looking car! How much was it advertised for Jim?

    Mini John Cooper Works GP 0316

    I actually prefer the ride on the new Dunlop SP run flats I've fitted over the toyo non run flats it had on before. Lots of people hate run flats but I can't see the issue personally.

    Mini John Cooper Works GP 0316

    Hmmm, same as mine. I have a receipt for some eibach's but the ride height looks identical to yours, the springs themselves look identical and they don't have any writing on them that say eibach. I don't think mine has eibach's.
