Kent. Do you know roughly how much I'd be looking at?

Ideal! www.modnmini.com are based in Sittingbourne and supply + fit the JCW big brake kit for £1150 inc VAT. AP Racing kits are cheaper but don't fit under any of the OEM wheels without spacers

At least it doenst have a pair of green or red ears sticking out of it like some of the current mini's.

From the factory, red is on the GP only. Of course you can always swap them or get them sprayed... I had them painted.

I must say I actually like the Minis, found this image a little while ago. Shame about the mirrors tho :confused:

I'm not a huge fan of the JCW. The Mini just isn't boy racer, no matter how hard you try to make it one.

Still a lovely car though.

Isn't that what makes it so appealing?

I don't want to look like a chav in a saxo VTR

Can't stand them myself, the interior to me always looks weird like everything big and chunky and made by fisherprice. That and the mr magoo inspired speedo. :confused:

Funny thing is i was in bavarian bmw the other day and asked about the dinnerplate speedo, the assistant stated that they were like that in the original mini's. Im pretty sure they weren't myself, anyone any idea about that?

Ah so they were, though not quite large enough for a portion of fish and chips to sit on comfortably.

Their popularity and prevalence on the roads suggest you are in a minority with that view.

You're right there. Though can't stand them myself either, why do people buy them over the alternatives?
