Hello 2

I've already done a few posts but thought it was about time I said hello.

Just got a '01 1.9 TDI S..............................Estate

Well someones got to have one! But I needed an estate to lug my fishing kit around etc. Me and the wife are well into cars, rallies etc, our other car being a Mini Cooper (and I ain't talkin about no BMW piece of **** either) I won't go any further on that subject, cos I'll only get my soapbox out.
I'd be interested in any reasonable, sensible (and not so sensible), ideas of a few mods to do, (I've gotta get some alloys is step 1 I think) Am I the only person on here with a 6k? BTW I don't drive it like an old fogey either, I may be in my late thirties, but owning a Mini makes you go out looking for windy roads

So once again, hello to everyone on the Forum, thanks for any advice past, present & future, and any ideas would be most welcome.
Martin

Hiya mate and welcome. I can't really advise on what to do, but like you said alloys and maybe get some sounds in there too?

Or maybe a little engine mod here and there I.E panel filter etc

Yep the old Mini is a REAL Mini!

An estate? Like this one?

...because I dig estates. Or Variant's as we know them. I kinda want one.

Recommended mods:

Colour Concept rear lights (all red)
Some rare wheels to your liking.

Welcome!

big is beautiful go for some chrome 18/17 inch rs rims and then drop it a few mm, light tint on the windows and remove any badges that it may have that should make it stand out.

Thanks for the replies guys, think I'm gonna start lookin for some wheels

On "Big is beautiful";

The above variant is rolling on 14" Pirelli wheels. I love it. As far as I'm concerned, it's not size that matters, but drop + class. 17's will look nasty on a standard-height car, even if they're Porsche 17's.

One more example of a fine Variant:

Slammed. 15" Schmidt TH line (einteilig).
