My mini is a 998cc engined car, with a stage one tuning kit, which includes a bolt on pipercross filter, LCB, full 2" straight through exhaust, boxster style upswept back box.
A lot of time and effort went into this car and a lot of money, lots of things wrong and at the time it felt like nothing went right, a good few times i seriously considered scrapping the project and selling it for whatever i could get, but patience, support and the fact i'd put too much into it to back out stopped me.
Thanks to..
Chunky and Padge (East Coast Customs) For pulling me out of a welding and painting nightmare, being the best in the business, and doing a fantastic job.
Michael Duncan (MD AUTOS - Chester le-street) Mechanical Issues, repairs and advice.
Rick (RB CUSTOMS)
For being the best airbrush artist in the world and for being my brother, still young but with so much talent, who knows where he'll end up. Thanks Rick for making the mini such a head turner and for a unique paint job exactly how i wanted it.
