Wasn't sure about the breytons but my wife was when I put them on her Clubman

So R109's back on and a few little updates....time to loose some chrome

The washer jet covers now wrapped in gloss black vinyl and chrome rings removed ...

Grill surrounds removed ...

Now a splash of White silver ...

Rear light surrounds, simply pop off ...

Never paid much attention to the rear lights but some great details in there

Finished results ...

Kev-

Mods look great...tasteful and very well executed, bravo

I'm still liking the R109's on your Coupe.

What a fun story to read for a reader - just passing through, as I try the Coupe Forum out for the very first time. I live in the Clubman Forum, mostly.
Great theme and photos, and a fine story to boot.

Unfortunately I had to say good bye to the coupe a few months back, in the meantime I have been watching my friend build the first UK coupe race car which is ready for competition next year

Sorry about the wheel gap!

Any out there with problems installing 18" JCW wheels on their Cooper? I have a Cooper S Coupe (R58)!
I have read about some steering wheels stop kit....

How about bigger profile tyres

I went from 45 profile tyres to 50 and ditched the run flats. Arches are a little more filled in and a quiet and slightly softer ride with zero tramlineing. I suppose the ride hight is slightly greater but to me it's the bomb.
