Wahey! Slowly coming together... - Buffered the paint (cellulose)
- Added the hinges
- Added the number plate lamp
I'm keeping the numberplate lamp black because Im thinking of buying those 10 x 6 Black Revo's so the black would keep to the theme... Still cant decide on the colour!? Orange/red/\Vermillion?! A few pics: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/06july/cruisewirral17005.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/06july/cruisewirral17006.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/06july/cruisewirral17007.jpg)  850 Hits... my engine size lol

Tyre wise I was thinking along the lines of Yoko A032-Rs , which are to be fitted to 10 x 6's. Basically road legal slicks, but for an everyday car I dont know... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/06july/cruisewirral17009.jpg) I think they wont last 2 mins for an everyday car really... More thinking along the lines of : Click Me A more practical sensible option...

I dont want 7 x 13s because you have to chop away part of the bodywork to fit them, you have to have sportspack arches to cover them, and the wheel bearings would'nt last 2 minutes and mine are set up perfectly or so my dad says lol. On my Mini, it is designed to cater for 10 x 5 wheels and Im going to put 10 x 6's on... Ive heard many times now that Mini's with 13s on are not very good for the cars handling. But because Im going for the 'Retro' look only 10's will do! With gloss black grp2 arches with the chrome strip running down them. Ans lowered so the wheels are slightly tucked to the arches  Trust me , its going to look ace!
