Don't worry, can't afford new wheels yet lol. Bit more maintenance then a stealth backbox I've got in the shed, spark plugs, panel filter.

Those wheels will look sweet on darkgti's car mind being black!

think the best suited wheels for our mintys are the BBS RR's, RS-GT's or the LM's

very nice, how much did it cost you,

it a shame you have cover it up with a bonnet,

Post by: DarkGti on 17 December 2009, 18:12
it was £50 for the inlet manifold plus cam cover and £200 for the chroming which took 4 weeks but worth the wait! so i have a spare AGU inlet man/camcover now! :wink:
