At the moment, and with my budget it looks like I may end up going for a PT Cruiser (yes I know - heathen) or a Chevvy HHR - still a little quirky but so much cheaper

I'm sooo gonna miss her (until I get another)

hi, im a red hot chilli to, my beauty is my pride and joy , he has the most gorgeous wheels , black alloys with red shiney flecks, chosen by yours truley i love them, hes a a limited addition mini one with a cooper engine, it must be love

Welcome Tanya Why don't you place some pics up of your chilli for us all to see

My baby!

That looks fab..

Here we go - thought I'd better show off our Clubbie and Cabrio in this topic - God knows how I didn't see it before...!

Nice!

very nice I'd say

Ta muchly, guys

Might as well add my S into the Chilli reds

Great shine on another great looking car. What are you using?

Wow, that really is lovely!

Thanks. Firstly a lot of hard work initially to get it like this it was horrible when I first got it

It has been clay barred, polished and canuba waxed. Shampoo wise I currently use Autoglyms conditioning wash, but am looking into others, and I will be taking a look at waxtec stuff later. I always use 2 buckets and a lambs wool mitt. The wheels are treated every 3 months with Poor boys sealant wax. Its washed every week come rain or shine or at this time of year frost and ice. Sad I know

Hadn't seen this thread for the best MINI colour before

Here's mine back in the summer, ready for Beaulieu (it rained ...). It certainly isn't this shiny at the moment

Looks smashing!

looking good Neil

It was one of the few days this year when I actually had time to give it a proper wash, polish and wax.

I really should do it more often, and also pluck up the courage to clay it

Looks the business......no chance of keeping them clean at the moment though

Wish I had the cash to do a few bits on my own chilli like aero side skirts and a facelift front bumper with the ducts in the grill. Even washing it would be nice

Finally got some aero side skirts for mine a month or so back, will get them on once the winter is over.

how much were they including spraying??

Got them from a guy on TotalMINI for £250. No spraying needed as they're the right colour.

I seem to remember Berry quoted me £600 earlier this year for spraying and fitting a brand new set.

Sounds like you scored there!

Some wicked looking minis on here...nice to see shiny cars and sunshine...

gorgeous chili's you guys've got there! i shall join the chilli club once the weather's nicer and mine is all clean and sparkly
