Yeah - many people do, I would like to get it all sorted then share what details I can afterwards.

working out timings and costs really as the final hurdle - but as ever proving to be a little bit of a challenge due to the not off the shelf situation. but I'll work it all out in time I am sure

You might get 180+ with 200 nozzles, but I suspect emp will be high again with that. not going to be an option on SDI's only I don't believe.

Its been a while so thought I'd give a quick update.
Nothing new mechanically, just lots of TLC.

Last shot of her with the winter wheels (if anyone wants to buy them, make me an offer):




The TLC started with the summer wheels, gave them all a complete waxing which took hours and dressed the tires with gel. I also re-painted all the calipers in the same xpower green color to brighten them up:





Next was the roof, see if you can guess whats going to happen :







So these pics show the roof design half finished (more to come up there), they also show the splitter which I haven't posted before and the shiny new calipers:







These caps are now on the car to complement the roof, I'll get more pics of the whole car when the design is finished:

Good guess but not right... haha with the "made in the UK" sticker and "GB" badge on the back people would start to think I was a member of the BNP or something!

A clue is some MINIs have it however I've never seen one on the road, should be a bit different I hope
