Yea I so wish I had the picture of a stock Gti overtaking an impreza on a corner from CCC a few years ago.

always wanted one of these though and all I managed to afford was the service manual

Snap, exact same as ours

We have modded a couple of things, Play-Mini straight through cat-back exhaust, rear tints and Cooper S side sills.
The sills are subtle but look much better and you can pick them up cheap from folk who fit the Aero-kit ones.

The tints and the driving lamps really suit the car. The driving lamps are a must, did you DIY it or were they dealer fitted ? I'm looking to DIY in the near future if you have any helpul info

The previous owner had them fitted from new, they are apparently an expensive option and I've heard the bracketry is prone to rust so just aswell getting some from Halfrauds. Mini2.com is pretty good for DIY tips or there is also newminiscotland.co.uk.

might get some stick for this but i loved my mini...

had the cooper s works with the aero kit on it (was my boy racer days when i had the big kit and lambo doors as well

)

eventually bought a zeemax kit for it which i loved as well - still got a couple of the teles i took out of it after i crashed if i could find them!!

and i like the roof but then again im a blue nose

I've been doing a bit of reading up on the spotlight fitting. The puker BMW install looks like a nightmare no wonder it's so expensive, I looked at alt. and you can pick up a pair of lamps and brackets incl. wiring for around £60. This ties in with a relay etc. in conjunction with your main beam opposed to wiring it to your ECU and master switch etc. as you do with the BMW version.
