Silver! Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think this look spot on. Not a fan of your new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanx!love the roof box on yours too mate! Ever thaught about having the box sprayed the same silver as ur car? Think it would look swish! And whats wrong with my new wheels!!!? lolNot had all 4 wheels on yet so unsure if il keep them. I was just after some poke so i got them!! he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 My box is purely functional and currently on the Dune. Well it's just been taken off today for a road trip to the south coast next weekend.I could get it sprayed as they are both reflex silver, but it does get quite a lot of use in the summer camping season so it wouldn't last long.I'm just not a fan of coloured or excessively banded steel wheels. If it didn't already look so good imay not have had anopinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthie Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 They look good but I wouldnt get the mirrors done to match, you should use them as your winter wheels Is the mini yours too? I'd like to see more of that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike89 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 not many cars can pull of ronal turbos imo. A tad lower on the front and it would look perfect! As said above, not really a fan of the steels, but anyone with a redtop mini can obviously get away with it! My dad is a HUGE mini fan. Im trying to get him to sell his 2000 cooper sport (100 miles) and build a v-tec. Did you do the conversion yourself?mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthie Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've never owned a Mini but have always had a soft spot for them. A few friends have had them over the years, I like the clubmans most I think and yours rocks. One of my best mates dad used to race a Mini back in the day at Brands Hatch (just up the road from where I grew up) and just this year they have dragged it out from the garage and have started to restore it to it's former glory. I'll see if I can get some pictures as it is a real blast from the past and is staying retro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 i love the clubmans too!!! they look so much wider than the normal ones for some reason! if you can get some pix up it would be awsome he he! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hmmm, Clubman's with Redtop's. Friend of my raced a clubman with a Redtop in. Scrapped the shell unfortunatly, but the Redtop now sits in front of a Lupo. Its stupidly quick. Got offered my Mini back the other day, definatly tempted by it, but can't be bothered with them anymore! Give it a few years and i'll start a conversion, probably a Swift.Lupo looks great, very clean. New wheels will suit it a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
