very nice i wanna set for mine
are they road leagal?

they are road legal, just need to tweek the brightness of the side lights.

the fuel cell is from www.forgemotorsport.co.uk was around £180 plus the cost of the sender and guage.(£150)

from design to finished product about 20 hours. nasty. but now very satisfying.

looks impressive a lot of hard work has gone in to that well done.

you asked for opinions so the only one thing i can say is if it was mine id be fitting a wider set of wheels to fill them arches a bit more but thats personal choice and its your car so ill shut the fook up.

again well done.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

It looks great!

The only mod I would make would be to fill in the recess in the sportpack arches that normally takes the bumper.

thats a nice well built motor !

Looks like you've done a fine job, decent looking garage too

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

thanks for the replys, glad you like it

Carl.. i know what you mean about the wheels mate, i bought the wheels befor i chose the arches. i am now thinking the same. definatly would benefit from wider rims.

Tom.. that is one of the things that im not happy about either. when i sent it to be sprayed i asked the chat do do it for me, was not impressed when i saw hat it had not been done. i was thinking of cutting the back out of them and sticking some mesh behind rather than trying to get the paintwork done again.

i still consider the car to be a work in progress, and lets face it what mini isnt. i will still be changing thing as i spend more time driving her.

good job, looks different without being garish (hows that spelt)

looks good mate

1293 Turbo mini

you could have built some led indictors to put in the bumper recess in the front arches.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

i cant tell you how impressed i am with that build, love the wellers too.

if i was to make one suggestion, it would prob be to space out the rear wheels a shade to fill the arches a bit more.
