	Got me a new car to replace the mini. It's a little bit grotty round the edges but nothing major. Paid £440 for it but sold the nasty 5 spoke alloys to a mate of the guy I bought it from so it only owes me £390

	Nice, I guess one can still get the trim rings from VW, or other reputable outlets?

	Can't afford to mod it at the mo. Have to keep it stock so the insurance company will put my missus on the policy. That's why I had to ditch the alloys. Can't lower it anyway or I won't be able to get it in to my parking space, that's what ripped the exhaust off the mini. Fugging stupid parking. Bloody annoying cos Stuyizz has some 60mm lowering springs that'd look the mutts nutts

	Did a photo shoot for an album cover I'm designing for a local singer/songwriter. Managed to get my car in to one of the shots ;D

	Can't mod it, insurance won't put my missus on the policy if I do and I need her to be able to drive it.

	Can I buy those trim rings off you? I've been searching ebay for them for my driver. Better still I could swap you for a new Haynes manual? Good mods for a driver (just done it to mine) Find a Weber carb on Ebay 32/34 DTML (you can use a 1.6 or 1.8 version with a jet swap) Get yourself a GTi 1.8 mk2 digifant camshaft and drop that in. It's made a big improvement to my one. Ade (let me know about the trim rings)

	I'm planning on keeping the trim rings ade, all part of the look I'm going for. Cheers for the advice though, I'll have to sort that out at some point. Was planning the carb swap, but never considdered a GTi cam. So what do you reckon to the photo? If she gets famous my car might be worth more, about £20 more ;D

	Ade, I have been chatting with Dave (Oldbus 64 ) and he mentioned that the trim rings find their way onto e-bay at times. Look here , at this thread. I have a set of Driver wheels for my Audi which are getting the treatment too. retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1186302111 Some more leads here: vwcaddy.com/showthread.php?t=15706

	I wish I could lower it. I need the ground clearance to get it over the hump into my parking space, The last low car I parked there got it's exhaust ripped off
