So you've reshelled a Mini using a MK2 Tiger.

Does that make your car a Minger?

Good call on Dolomite front spoiler. Thanks to e-bay I now have one that looks like it will fit without too much fettling. Better than a Mini valance! Yet another manufacturers part, to go with Mazda, Peugeot, Ford, etc. Too long to name the car now.

Hi bigbob,

That dolomite spoiler looks to be a very close match, if you get any chance to do a before and after in the wind tunnel with a smoke stream, please post the pictures.

Not a bad fit that Bob, was told that the Dolomite Sprint spoilers were popular in their day but never seen up close in situ, so I best get one to me specialist...........don't want to be left behind

Unfortunately my wind tunnel is out of action at present, so unable to do any testing at present. Need to fit rear wing first to balance down force. Not sure if I need to reinforce bootlid though.

The supercharger has a seperate oil system [£80/l !], which has its own filter & cooler. Other 1 is engine oil cooler.
