Just so everyone knows......it is brown !!!

Seriously though Ben, probably worth doing and have Stu work his magic then flog it. Cant believe Minis have dropped in price so much these days.

Depends on what you were intending to use it for, if its just to travel to broadland then catch the bus as it will be cheaper. Guess it will be a bit of a letdown if the guys in your new work see the 'car god' driving something like that into work from now on

In all fairness I jest its in pretty good condition and with a good bit of cleaning it will come up well. Just putting the black stuff on the arch trim really makes the car look much fresher (so much so that Em asks me to do it on hers everytime I clean her Mini...tsk).

Also has the HIDs fitted doesnt it Ben.

I know, forgot that, those little half moon things on the lights, are they the light washers?

Yep they are shoot out when activated, look like the Xeon lamps found standard lamps with good bulbs much better which is odd. What's up with rack, I've changed a couple of pumps as a common mini problem..?

Check out the cost of the steering issue as one of he girls at work had a problem with her power steering on her mini and it was bloody expensive to get fixed

Either the rack or the pump - the parts alone are
