Nice looking car but £14k?!

Lovely looking car this. 24 00 7 566 247 / GA6L45R This box was in a alot of 130's and 3's until 2011. It stayed in the E92's later than it did the E90's for some reason.

If the front looked the same sort of height as the rear along with spacers, it'll look spotty dog imo.

Sad times indeed. I feel the same fate is very close for X459DYB :disrelieved: I have no idea where its too at the moment but I'm hoping it'll pop up again with an owner prepared to care for it, or maybe it'll just vanish all together :frowning:

I've got some bits for sale if your interested? - Brand new genuine torque mount with new powerflex insert bush. - Brand new Scorpion Decat Downpipe with BMW fitting kit. Let me know :up:

MINI Fwend... 😅 I'd definitely stick the Michelin PS4's and a Walnut blast at the top of the list. Lovely looking car though, jealous of your N18 and JCW'ness.

No more R56 MINI fwend.. :anguished: R53 staying though, right? I must admit, I've been taking a look at Golf R's lately and completely agree with your summary of them - I'd seen one at a VW dealer as I was driving past. Rightly so, I turned round to have a closer look; Lapiz Blue - Check...

Ahh Dave, dont part with it! I presume you will be taking the shiney parts off? I may be interested in the cooler if you are.

Considering the retail price is £1024, thats not that bad from a dealer (Selling it at near cost essentially).

Hopefully they will fail within 12 months as those bad boys retail at £818.71 each. I can get them for slightly less than £600 a piece, if you do get unlucky 😊😊

I love the mechanics/reasoning behind getting this. A friend of mine recently took me out in one, albeit it had something done to the exhaust - one very addictive sound track. Oh and like you say, the revs to speed combo is ridiculous. Enjoy, top work.

I regret selling mine, on both occasions so on that basis alone - No! :smile::smile:

This tbh. I've only been into watching and subbing Vloggers and all that guff on YouTube for about 6 months, but I've subbed Danny due to many of the reasons @Knuckles suggests. I'm a Somerset Southerner and can fully understand the 'dialect' @DanielJames - It could be worse, you could be from...

Crazy to think you still have this. I remember having the black Ph1 at the time (The first time) and you had black OZ F1's with yellow? rim tape fitted... I was looking to steal your idea 😂😂

I had an Astra H VXR a few years back also, not as bad as people tend to make out (Jeremy Clarkson) - Its also a shame the image is heavily tarnished. Burg wheels and Dap-R springs.. Seemed to handle well enough for what it was.

This looks lovely. I've always had a soft spot for the Corsa VXR in this shape. Regular VXR's are appear very cheap now! Reliability? I think that comes down to the owner, done properly they appear to be just as reliable as any other car IMO. #2000

Every car I've sold (And there has been many) has been through eBay. Stick with your price and await genuine interest, It will go in time :up: When I sold my MK5, I also had plenty of the £5k and I'll come tomorrow types... I got the money I was after, within 2 weeks.

Contemplating Rainsports for the MINI. I love the Michelin PS4's yet they are £30ish more per corner.

Madness on all accounts really! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-Hatch-COOPER-S-JCW-GP-Delivery-miles-33-miles-only-/222356590249?hash=item33c57c4ea9:g:a10AAOSwnHZYjdqa

I think it looks better from a personal POV. Having said that, looking at its current MOT suggests the OP's suspension concerns; MOT history of this vehicle Test date22 July 2016 Expiry date24 July 2017 Test ResultPass Odometer reading71,240 miles MOT test number7301 7591 5815 Advisory notice...

My gut instinct is with the second one personally. Edit - After looking at the MOT history, maybe not.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222392974396?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Really should have made time to use this.

Please say plenty of drag racing was commenced?

@Sir_Dave - Thanks for the info. I think I'll do a ghetto fit also, for that kind of money! I've managed to get a dealer to commit to a walnut blast for £100 so will be itching to get some form of setup on there afterwards.

Have you looked at Catch Can's for these @Sir_Dave ? I've been looking around the interwebs tonight and I appear to be finding alot of mixed messages. Seems the Saikou Michi dual catch can is the overall winner, albeit no UK supplier?!

Lovely car, lovely colour, not too sure on the number plate however. Why everyone is having a complex over BMW Coupe's at the moment?

@Steve @Addicted How are you guys getting along with these? Still liking them?

Just got a response my end on a JCW for myself; Moonwalk Grey Chili Pack 18" Cup Wheels Dinamica Carbon Back Heated Seats Variable Damper Control MINI Tech Pack 3 Years TLC £2000 down and £300 P/M Going to work on those figures some more :smile:

Having spent the last few days at head office, I love these things! The maths isn't too bad, its just a case of justifying a car that I do not really need 😅
