That's the pic :)

Rob used to own my Cooper LE (well, he imported it from England actually). Seems like a top bloke, that clubman of his was a beast (got a brief spin in it as he lives in Lucan as well, and I'm man enough to admit I slightly soiled myself. Only slightly mind you :lol: ).

When I saw the pics of the accident I couldn't believe it. Still, he was a lucky boy; metal can be fixed, people can't.

Anywho, that's off-topic a bit. Top top motor you have there mate.

best thing to do it look for one of those mobile dent repair fellas in the golden pages. usually for a couple of hundred euro monies, they will sort out any little dings!

hey steven, they are 13" metro alloys.

i imagine they'd be easy enough to pick up on ebay but id wager that they only look good on a
certain type of mini.

The Metro wheels would have a different offset to the Mini ones, they probably onlly work with Metro Hubs tbh.

Are they not Honda based wheels.I seem to remember the rear hub having a large adapter plate to create the offset and change stud spacing.I guess the front hubs would be honda based.
