[jayxx83]

coor looks hot! lol

 

[aCid]

White rims with checkered mirrors?

 

[ChrisPearson]

Love that but the before rims were 10x better

 

[jayxx83]

White rims with checkered mirrors?

white rims and checkerd is too typical mini... just want something totally different tbh.

my mate has white rims, they look good on his.

 

[jesus]

Preferred the old ones tbh, but heavy wheels are ftl! Should look good when refurbed

 

[jayxx83]

dropped the supers off at the refurbers today and gave me these to roll on for the time being lol

roll on next wednesday!

 

[Justin]

Looks much better on the new rims!

 

[kaimcg]

The JCW alloys look crap, but the oz's dont look right either. However cant wait to see them in orange! brave decision!!

 

[R-Sport.]

you had it up for sale the other day

Yeah I did. Some guy came down and offered me £10k for it but the missus was screwing and didnt want me to get rid, so I knocked it on the head and decided to keep it.

 

[mas]

im looking to get one of these in about 2 months time.

was surprised how reasonable to insurance was on the cooper s works, im only 20, 1 years no claims. Fully comp its 1200 quid. Made up.

Selling the lupo.

 

[Englebert]

The wheels are OK, but a bit too pimp to pull off the RS type look IMO. See if you can prove me wrong!

 

[jon_r]

I think the GT3 decal could look awful, but like Rob, i'm prepared to be suprised!

 

[kyle_sxi]

i realy like the look of that mate

 

[jayxx83]

thinking whether the "cooper S" logo will look better due to the fact there are more letters and stretches the full length of the sill. Opinions?

 

[cat171]

I think it'll need a good PS sorting out first. It might look good, but it might not.

 

[Feirny]

I'll sort one tomorrow if poss.

 

[jayxx83]

I'll sort one tomorrow if poss.

cheers fella.

collected the mirror caps today, quality of paintwork is awesome. will get close ups later.

 

[ForceIndia]

Hate the wheels! Love the orange concept though, just think with all those spokes might be a bit OTT. IMO superleggera's would be better

 

[jayxx83]

yea i do love superleggeras although had some bend on me back in the day and that was on a saxo lol. as the mini is heavier and the roads a lot worse, i didnt want to take the chance.

thanks for the comments though.

 

[ForceIndia]

Can't wait for the finished pics, I was considering doing the same in viper green on the ph1, decided it would look a bit chavvy on an old clio.

 

[JCC]

Prefer the before wheels tbh

 

[TomS]

wing mirrors look superb

 

[Feirny]

Quick bash.

 

[mini_nick]

Looking forward to seeing this! been out in my mates works today, they do go well!

 

[dajones]

ive just started to refurb my alloys gt3 orange aswell

 

[Guppy]

Looks awesome in that PS!

 

[jayxx83]

Fierny that is the bizzo! I cant wait now to see it all done!

 

[jayxx83]

Picked up the wheels today and had a pair of new toyo t1's slapped on the rear wheels as the old ones were shagged.

Not sure on the colour match though. In the flesh in the light they look pretty much spot on, but I did srp egp and 476 the mirrors earlier so i dont know whether this is making them look lighter as they are more reflective.

As you can see from the back wheels, the wheels look slightly darker from some angles, but then a perfect match from others. Even the mirror caps look different in the sun and out of it!?

Drove home when it was spitting with rain and there is dirt on them already!! Its going to be a pain to keep them clean but I think its worth it.

In all I am pretty chuffed with them, the car just looks the ti ts.

 

[StevenMc29]

Different.

I think if you can pull of the writing down the side then it will tie in the wheels and the mirrors and it will look good.

 

[GinandGasoline]

i think the writing might help tie in the orange and black theme... in your pic the mirror cap looks like a duller orange than the wheels which seem bright... good effort i think!

 

[J0sh]

Get it sitting a bit lower and that will look awesome.

 

[StevenMc29]

Needs the centre caps put it too. A small addition I know but imo would make them look much better

 

[Chris J]

mint! Minis look so much better without all the chrome etc.
should look even better with the writing down the side

 

[jayxx83]

Yeah the centre caps are the oz carbon one, but i want to go to mini and get the "works" centre caps that are black. The old ones arent in the best condition

The car is lowered and scrapes like mad over most bumps, but think it looks high due to the camber of the road.

heres one of the other side. will get some SLR ones tomorrow on the London to Brighton Mini run, these phone ones are average.

 

[leon86]

i like, with the decals i think that will look nice!

 

[gaz44]

Black wheels would look better.

 

[conneh]

That looks awesome.

 

[Guppy]

Looks the shizzle!!!

Love it!

 

[Feirny]

EPIC!
