well i couldnt but wounder what tens would look like, and at the time it was too expencive, but now i have the chance

At the moment im running metro 4pots with 12" deepdish wheels, however i always said there was something about the clubman but i couldnt put my finger on it!

well fair play to joe he had his eye out for cooper s brakes and as luck would have it they turned up (for free as well!) :D So what were going to do is swop my 4pots for the copper s brakes and joe will run the 4pots on on his own mini (FIP)
and the great thing about the copper s brakes is that there lots ot potential for 3 piece split rims!-maybe in a cupple of years time! :?

I came across a nice set of tens,

lower the bejasus out of it!,

mix them all together and there you have it!

see what you think...
