Yeah i drive past where you park it to get to work, leave the saxo behind and take the other half's jap cannon instead.

couple of updates! progress has been slow due to numerous reasons, but over the next few months should pick up a little again new supercharger pulley, stretched tyres, lowering and wheel refurb is on the agenda before Xmas!

for now, had some bodywork sorted.. my rear bumper had melted as the exhaust wasnt positioned correctly... so repositioned the exhaust and bumper got resprayed!
before and after:
before -


after (just need a new grill insert as that melted too ) -


also got a few pics from a recent camping/surfing holiday

not entirely sure whether it'll leave a hole.. quite like the mini badge there, cooper s badge was already debadged when I bought it. I've changed the plates now to fresh, clean ones look ten times better!

[UKtom]

the plan..



stretched tyres end of month, coilovers end of next month you like?

[logic_guy]

No. Sounds gash. Especially on a Cooper S

[Baz]

As long as the rear doesn't have that much camber then yes, if not...no!

[UKtom]

haha cheers for the comments guys! euro look on a cooper s is good logic guy what ya chattin

thoughts on my new front plates.. I'm still undecided..

[Jay_]

I'm a huge fan of cut down / small plates

[DAMSK11]

Small plates ftw!

[chris205]

Plate looks good, needs aero grills now

[tichy]

I think it looks out of place tbh mate. It might grow on me though, everything else looks good, i realy like this car.

[UKtom]

parcel arrived today..



top secret contents

[baker556]

Looks mint!

Cheers for you address i can now spy you

Im guessing its dashboard plastics, pulley, intercooler.

Box looks to small to be coilovers

[UKtom]

it's my fake address mate... or is it? double bluff...

cheers! payday Friday, hopefully gonna try and build a few goodies up before Christmas and then fit them all at the same time some good guesses though mate!
