hey lad i would def buy a turbo mini,
i will have one some day for sure,,my dream mini...
if you are going to spend that kind of money you should go to the uk for one...
it might be an idea to buy a mint turbo one with engine trouble for handy money,
then you could have the engine fully sorted..it could all be done in the uk..

lucky you if you are getting one... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think 10"MB splits with W&P arches are the best combination on a Mini and quite rare also.I only saw one set of MB wheels at the IMM although they are more popular in the UK.However I would like to set a set of Exactions converted to two piece split wheels under W&P arches,Force racing does this at £66 a wheel.
