[Djw Dave]

Nice. Looks like the mini needs a wash too

 

[ChorleyFM]

what about the sports skirts from subway, they look great on saner's car!!
how much were you quoted for the handles?
what model is yours then?

 

[ChorleyFM]

Not really bubbles, i got the lights off shaun (The Big Yin) he had created a wiring loom coming from the back of the headlights and so they just literally plugged in, im chuffed with the outcome, so much better than the standard ones...

I was thinking about them mitch, i would rather get them sprayed and fitted and leave the handles black, i got quoted 90.47 inc VAT.

Its a 1.2 Grande 1999 mate.

not too sure if i wanna do anything too it, as i may sell it next year..

 

[ChorleyFM]

They look good, i say get it lowered and a set of silvervisions and maybe colour code if you want to, but i think the wheels suit it.

 

[Leeshez]

Want to clean my car?

 

[ChorleyFM]

HaHa, i dont know mate, it took me about 3hours on mine, thats the longest i have ever spent on it, thought it deserved it.

 

[Christopher]

Day used to have Mk2 172 alloys on his Mk1 172.

looked good.

 

[ChorleyFM]

I think they look good, look much better than i initially thought anyways.

 

[Xavi77]

And I thought that my Clio used to be dirty....!

Not raining there?

 

[Turkish]

that gaff looks well familiar, where dyou live fella ?

 

[Ads_172]

Very nice and clean.

Whgat do you use on the wheels to get into all the tight angle spots?

 

[ChorleyFM]

Xavi - no rain here mate, just lots of mud and dirt, lol, also loads of lorries to spray you car with mud, thats what you get when you live in the country.

Loony - I live down south, near bristol/swindon.

Acrebo - i bought a alloy wheel cleaning kit from halfrauds, it was half price down to £5.99, came with two cleaning brushes, alloy wheel cleaner, alloy wheel protective wax, sponge and polishing cloths BARGAIN!!!

 

[Turkish]

Loony - I live down south, near bristol/swindon.

Probably why then, near the spine road/lakes per chance?

 

[ChorleyFM]

^^^ That would be the one, lol, scary??? Where you live?

 

[Turkish]

Are you Sammys bro? if so thats why i recognise the house/car. I'm in swindon fella.

 

[cbscup]

How closely were you looking at those pics to recognise the house Simon???

 

[Turkish]

lol, not that closely, remember I've been in that car and garage on several occasions. Should have Kept the TT rather than getting a BINI though, shame on Sammys mum, lol.
