Went shopping today...came back with a few bits and pieces 
Veneer door furniture (winders, openers, handles)
Veneer and leather steering wheel
Veneer gear knob (
PODIE )
Mat set with purple edging and embroidered Mini
Clear rear lenses
Clear repeater lenses
Chrome numberpate light
Chrome numberplate surround
Front spots
Front fogs
10" x 6" anthracite with polished rim minilights
Falken tyres
Widened arches plus edging
Locking wheel nuts
Alloy petrol cap (which doesn't fit
)
...ah that's better!
Now to get the Cooper S brakes sorted, the new wheels and arches fitted, not forgetting the lights and Bob will indeed be my uncle! Photos of before and after will be posted!

Lovely. Your bank manager may think differently however!
Just sold my Chimaera so bank manager should be very bloody happy!

What you should have done was waste some of your money on making it go faster/better!
Stage 1 was stuff I could do myself quickly to make me feel better about the Chim.
Better - Stage 2 of evil plan
Although the new steering wheel has made a HUGE difference to the handling! 
wasn't expecting so much to be honest. Faster - Stage 3 of evil plan

Why doesn't the chrome fuel cap fit?
Um...
It does, I am just a numpty! joospeed said:
Wish I'd kept all my old mini tuning bits now instead of virtually giving them away on ebay .. I would have gladly given them away for a worthy case like this.
good luck with the upgrades TG
Oh you are a sweetheart Joolz! :hugs:
I know you are absolutely stacked with work at the moment, so e-mail me and let me know when I can pop up after work to show you the car and take you for a spin! Podie said:
was quite happy not knowing anything about your knob...
...but it's so smooth and round and feels great in your hand...

very nice indeed. I quite like the look of 13's and I have my eye on a set of 13x7 Ultralight Split-rims in Anthracite, with Antracite arches and roof. That's when I've paid for the Sprint to be resprayed. And put the Mini engine back together. And fixed the holes in the Mini. And the sills. And paid for the wedding. 
Post some pics up! I can host 'em if you want

might be worth finding out if they're 10s or 12s .. anyone on here know?

Hi all
Just got the Mini back, I am now minus an arm and a leg but it was worth it! 
She has had:
Cooper S brakes with stainless pistons
10" wheels, and new arches
New fuel pump
Fogs and spots fitted
Decatted and new exhaust (that pops and bangs!)
A panels, seams round the front lights and windscreen and front wings shotblasted and repainted
New fanbelt, oil and filter change.
and a few other bits and pieces.
And she looks FAB!!! Will post pics soon!
