Expert Posts: 4458 Location: Jelling, Denmark | JamieS - 6/10/2008 1:31 PM Thats a very nice example fella.. how a modified mk1 should look Are they just mini fitment wheels or are they specifically metro offset? Thanks Its one of those never ending projects it has been mine for 4-5 years now. Its normal 6x13" SuperLights as you buy for a mini. Some modification to the front wings necessary, other than that standard. | ||

Wheels suit it down to the ground! thanks JamieS - 6/10/2008 1:35 PM Thats what I like to hear.. might go for some revolution rfx for mine and finding them in mini fitment is hard enough.. dont fancy trying it in metro fitment lol Are the door pockets mk1 and standard aswell? Thats the only thing I was worried about with the mk1 interior I have been looking on the rfx 5 spoke wheels as well, but went for these. But think the rfx's would also suit the car very well. yes. the door pockets are standard mk1. But the type with speakers in, and then painted black as everything else | ||

 Expert Posts: 8490  Location: Midlands | That looks an awesome machine...would look better a tad lower but im guessing exhaust clearance would be an issue! | ||

Expert Posts: 4458 Location: Jelling, Denmark | AdrianSi - 7/10/2008 1:55 AM That looks an awesome machine...would look better a tad lower but im guessing exhaust clearance would be an issue! thanks exactly. its all ready a bit of a problem getting on the car lift back home, also the wings need a bit of work for the wheels to clear if it has to be lower so this is where it sits #petrol_head thanks.
