how come you need a sound system in your bed?
and get onto your folio! its super duper important, my dad is a d&t teacher and marker and even with all his help I didn't do enough on my folio
i can't remember my marks, but I was pretty pissed off coz I put a f**k load of work into my project (I held a photography exhibition fundraising
dinner thing which I might add was amazing for a 17 year old to organise by herself) and yeah didn't care enough about the folio

Yeh your right there. Have still got sooo much to do on my folio. Haven't updated my diary in like a week either. 
Whats wrong with a sound system in the bed  Its gunna be great for
those lazy days laying in bed listening to music.

As a thought, why not (time depending of course)
- make a pair of wheel spats to cover half the wheel arch
- grind off the un-necesary bits of wheel above the wheel arch to save some weight and attach what is left over of the wheel so it looks like the car
is lowered majorly without adding too much extra weight of having full hubs/wheels etc. It may also solve your problem of attaching the wheel and
making it functional if you decide to go that way.
If you need to manouver the bed, why not join some castors under the boot area or on your stands and use the wheel to hide them.
Just a thought. BTW. Get to work on that folio!!

-Already have bought flares for the mini so they would kinda go to waste.
-Don't really understand what you mean about grinding off wheel. Dont really need castors as it is so light. Two people can lift it no worries at
all.
Thanks for some good ideas

Because the top half of the wheel is going to be hidden behind the wheel spat, you can grind off the parts of tyre/hub above the spat to save
weight.
It also might make it easier to fit the wheels and look better as they can be recessed into the wheel arch easier (maybe??).
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....

I noticed in the pics of the rear wheel in standard fitment that they are too wide to accomodate a wheel spat and still look astheticaly pleasing
which is why the grinding option might be better. If you visualise how a wheel sits in the wheel arch when the beams are narrowed you might get my
drift cos I can't explain it too well
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....

I think I sort of understand what your saying. You sure you aint on the rum again?
Good idea but I think too much work for me. Would require welding which I dont know how to do.

Hehhhe I'm on the beer tonight so I should make more sense!
Ran out of rum last night 
I am not sure if you can get around it without welding anything. Im no expert in welding anything either but I can burn holes in even the toughest
of metal

Nah unfortunately doesn't have RCA or AUX cause its just a CD player my brother had lieing around. Does play mp3 on CDs though so should be able to
put a good 100 or so songs onto a disk. Finished the boot today and got the number plate made up. Will post up some pics when I get back from guitar
practice.

bloody awsome, beats allthe coffeetables and entertainment unts most people do, or one guy in my ear did a sub box, (ohh how easy)
but, it you had more time, flat screen in the boot, but is on a hydrolic lift, so it lifts up through the parcel shelf, and have it connected to the
speakers. just a idea.

Well my brother moved out today so I jumped at the opportunity and moved the bed into his room. Was having some movement issues between the bed and
the body even when bolted together, so made up a second set of brakets for front of body. Doesn't rock or move and inch now. Didn't like the look of
how the boot lid was going so might grab the boot liner out of 1 of my bros minis. Managed to scratch the black a bit getting it inside so will have
to give it a quick touch up later. Will be hooking up stereo soon.
