Cleaned the car... (MCS Content)

[conneh]

Decided i would clean 1 of the cars tonight, was rather bored. However, i didn't have any claybar/plastics cleaner so it is a half hearted job. The paint work is covered in tar and is a b**ch to move. Anyway, it looks a little bit cleaner.

These were taken with my new Panasonic TZ5, which for a non-slr camera - i have been impressed.

New number plates and that will look mint.

It's not one of the best looking Minis, have always wanted the Aero kit fitted then minus some chrome. However, there are many worse looking ones out there!

God that's an awful colour.

Wud look good with some black pro race 1.2's (hint hint)

 

[Brett]

Nice that. Heard they drink petrol though, what are they like?

 

[conneh]

25-28mpg on average, will sink lots tho when you have a heavy foot.

 

[Englebert]

Nice.

Aero kit isn't great IMO... i like seeing them decked on the 16" 3 Piece JCW wheels.

 

[conneh]

Which wheels would that be? I don't mind the BBS-Esque wheels they come with.

 

[Englebert]

Those are the ones. Girl at work has them on her Cooper, completely wasted on her, kerbed to fook! I got it wrong, they are 2 piece... but are BBS.

Otherwise...

 

[Ali]

Nice.

 

[conneh]

Never seen those on a Mini before? Hmm

 

[jester84]

That clubman looks awful

 

[Peperami]

God that's an awful colour.

Its a shame his car is 4 times nicer than yours otherwise eh

Love the mcs mate, colour must look lush in the sunshine. A friend has a cooper and thats nice.

Have you had any trouble with the clutch/ power steering pump? Both have gone on his at around 40k miles :S

 

[conneh]

Yes, the seals on the power steering pump went
This then flooded the steering rack with all the oil... good times.

New rack and pump needed! Not cheap either, £1500. No problems with the clutch tho - and the gearbox is fine (but this was revised 04 onwards).

it looks mint dude, a real credit to you. those wheels done in white will look good and match the roof and mirrors.
