As if they've put 18" wheels on a mini. That's mental.

I do love the yobbish looks of these.

Are those seats the standard ones? You thought these had some special buckety ones?

You're confusing me with Waitey. You melt.

His has flashy seats.

Mr Burns · Sep 13, 2015

Which are the ones to avoid, with the same temperamental engines as the Peugeot Gti? I understand that they're the middle-aged ones, but how can you tell?

Looking at Clubman's on eBay as I could get my bike in easier.

R53 are 1.6 supercharged.
R56 are 1.6 turbo same as the 207 GTi.

Age will determine them, can't remember when turbo ones came out, 06 maybe?

Waitey · Sep 13, 2015

Fancy seats yo!

£1800 each from Mini. They are this expensive due to being custom, heated and have side airbags fitted. So a long way from a bare recaro.

its defo very nice but expensive option to tick

I wasn't an option for the GP's weirdly. Only the new shape JCW's. No one bought any, there must be loads kicking around somewhere!

Russ_16v · Sep 13, 2015

See I can appreciate them, but any 'new' Mini does literally nothing for me :/

I have sold a couple of Cooper S's and as much as i wanted to, i just didn't click at all. In fact I couldn't wait to get out of both of them.

This saddens me as they do look like lots of fun, but i just cannot gel with them.

Also shouldn't the wheels be matt grey not shiny black?

They should. And the standard finish is much better i think, gloss black doesnt work with the rest of the greys on the car imho.

Mine:

Other than that, it looks ace!!

Martin. · Sep 15, 2015

Do love these. Such a cool little hot hatch!

Is that a score mark on the front disc in the first photo?

Welsh.Dan · Sep 15, 2015

Looks ace and I quite like the gloss black.
I'm assuming your low, 10k price is due to it being a cat D repaired or something?

I think Dan's is a bit miley.

I just got offered £3k more than I paid for mine from a garage and they want it with the standard seats in it. Sell those and I could be £4k up for owning a car 3 weeks and servicing it.

Tempted!

I paid next to nothing for mine though.

AdDaMan · Sep 15, 2015

I would!

Keep it mate.

It'll only go up in value. Assuming you don't chuck the miles onto it!

Ok, this is a one off opportunity for a quick profit. But then what would you buy?

I'd keep and enjoy the weekend hoons. Then only sell it when you have to.

banther · Sep 15, 2015

Looks good Daniel. On the close up of the exhaust it looks like they aren't parallel or are my eyes spacky again?

I've put 1k on it already.

Will have think on it.

Are you actually using it as a Thomas? ('Daily')

Probably not the best for the value of it then

Yeah. It's just too fun. I'll stop when I get to 35k in it...

Sell it. Now.

Welsh.Dan · Sep 15, 2015

Don't sell it waitey.
Low mileage with those seats.... it'll fetch brilliant money whenever you sell it. Even with a few more K miles on it.

It's due to the fact it's probably the highest mileageR53 GP in the country! Lol

Gally · Sep 15, 2015

Only on CS would you sell a car because it's too good and you really like driving it and another because it's too fast!!!!!!!!!

JD · Sep 15, 2015

@Waitey, I really want to go out in it. I genuinely miss the shitty Clio for roundabout bashing.

Al_G · Sep 15, 2015

Love these.

Get it gone IMO.

Put the money into something else that you'll make money on!

He has all of the monies. He can't get any more.

There's always more.

As soon as you have it all, someone will print more for you to aim for.

Stop worrying when you have enough not to TBH.

Cat D?

_Tom · Sep 16, 2015

I always though they only had them on the offside?

Sir_Dave · Sep 16, 2015

From memory, they are above the drivers door, so the side is different for RHD/LHD.

So that would make Daniels the one that's had a resprayed roof as a result of a accident as its on both sides....

Yeah weird that dan's has both.

Short Norman · Sep 16, 2015

possibly a previous owner had OCD?

hope they never bought one of those mini estates with the small rear door only on one side.
