really nice photos! what camera?
- 23kon0
Photos were taken with Ricoh GX100.
First time i've shot with RAW on the camera actually, turned out really good - a lot more detail than JPEG.
With the HA-2 Ricoh Lens Adaptor thing,
43-46mm Step Up Ring
With a Nikon WC-E68 Wide Angle Lens.

nioce shots, nice black wheels too, looks slick as.
I've a mini too, love it!
What type of interior have yah?
- 23kon0
its a bog standard interior although it does have the 3 spoke steering wheel. on the hunt for a leather interior from ebay or scrappy's though.
the one with the black alloys is my mates 270bhp beast
some silly money spent on it.

aye 23kon, I dropped 20 grand on my mini cooper and it's not even a Cooper S!!
Red leather interior, multispoke wheels, light package, easy entry the lot. Gotta Love it though.

Havet a clue what your talking about there 23Kon, but sounds impressive and Im sure your mates mini has came to about 25 grand+ Does it go like fook though?
I like the 8 spoke alloys on yours, it helps to beef the car up I think.
What MPG are you getting out of yours?
I'm around 40 MPG for a 1.6 Cooper.
- 23kon0
mates one is a 2005 , not sure how much he paid for it but yeah its probably the same again for all the mods.
ive not been keeping tabs on the computer to see what mpg im getting but il let you know when i start averaging it.
seemingly the standard mini alloys - the fat 8 spokes - are really really really heavy wheels. and that getting shot of them and getting some lightweight alloys really changes the handling of the car and doesnt feel so heavy. it'l also work to reduce the overall weight of the car :)

a VERY red interior dude ;)
thats cool the photos of your car courtesy of mr traffic wardens hehe.
if only they shot at more dynamic angles.its crazy how much these mini's cost new
- mirrorball0
Yeah the red is a lot more subtle in real life.
Crap pics and £30 for the privilege, unbelievable!
See the mini factory just layed off 800 staff today!! And they are seriously pished off!
