So the mini passed the NCT with flying colours not bad with 162,000KMs on it so happy with that. So without any delay it was over to my mechanic and took out the old intercooler and both air diverters and replaced with a new GP one and a DDMWORKS air diverter. Also plugged and fired the 05 projector headlamps so all working prefect didnt fit them because there going for the 'joey' treatment. So tomorrow a janspeed free flow with de-cat is next on the to do list. Still waiting on parts from Germany and US.... Cheers folks

An update.... Fitted new rota grids 17x7.5 in glos black really happy with the look and stance, also fitted a JCW carbon intake, 06 type xenon lights and the car is totally decromed. Today it's going to the body shop for the roof to be sprayed, cooper S spoiler and rear screen to be removed and replaced with OE GPparts :D thanks for looking
