Its better than having the swift to drive everyday, better than having the puma on the road. A bit modern and a bit dressed up, but its a good choice for a fast road car.
I'd prefer it plainer and everything black though

I like it. Don't like the interior too much. Or the cheques but I am partial to a good mini. Lohen know there shit about mini's but there absolutely shite to deal with. On the few times I have had to deal with them they have been the most in helpful people possible. Very snappy and snotty aswell.

Lohen are fucking twats why did you even ring them?
Make sure you get the 15% pulley you spastic as well.
Intercooler is a piece of piss takes ten minutes to change, not rocket science. Make sure you get the air diverter with it.

First time was for some advice but that backfired :/. Second time was because my customer had just bought the car and it had originally been taken there for tuneing. So needed some information from them. Third time was to speak to them about one they had for sale for a mate of mine

Yeah the woman's a snotty bitch, think she's the bollocks. 1320 are the direct opposite.

to ask them about the intercoolers, 1320 dont suplpy them
although i ended up going direct to GRS
they also didnt have a clue about the faulty coolant tank caps. mines leaking slightly seal obviously gone, spoke to lohen asked them if theyd seen it before, he said nope, spoke to 1320 said yeah they pretty much all do it, get a new cap.

Anyone ever tried them DIY aircon refill things, is like a can of something.
I was going to try, but decided to remove aircon instead, cheaper in the long run

Proper aircon service is best. Are they changing the receiver/drier as well Steve?

Nice car, not keen on the interior though. Are you happy with it? Would you mind saying what you paid?

I like the look of these but don't think I could hack the interior, all a bit out there for me, plus non of the seats I have seen seem very supportive, never sat in one though!
I remember getting my ass handed to me by a Cooper S Works

I do love them, I miss mine more than the Astra. Drive superbly, when tuned go brilliantly and look fantastic.
Just don't have a boot
Ill get a grey one white roof next, do exactly same as I done before.
Get coilovers and ditch the run flats. Drive much better, don't get the Eibachs they don't give a nice even drop the front doesn't come down at all.
