First Mods done:
Install CG Lock, Safety First plus the red belts are cool


Then Silver turn signal bulbs, no more egg yolks.


Install rear fog light switch, and a left side reverse light to balance the rear out.


And I put on a WMW short antenna did some test fitting of wheels but having to wait for new wheels as my old BBS didn't fit.

Was wondering when I would see this thread.

What are your plans with it?

Yes I will bring some to MOTD, the best thing to do is preorder so I have them set aside for you.
Here is the light:

and here is the fog light switch:
http://www.waymotorworks.com/rear-fo...7-r58-r59.html

As for the rear seat delete, I think there is a much cheaper way to make it than the factory GP way, plus it is made to go under the side panels making it a huge pain to install.

Speaking of rear fog light's, Way... I still want the Rear Fog Light Toggle Switch Panel in black, no heated seats... I say again, Black and NO heated seats.

I told you that the blank space would get to me!

Sweet GP. Can't wait to see it.

See you there.

click on the blue letters in the post above..

Defintely a great addition... would love to know what else can be retrofitted simply via programming...(with the proper parts of course)
-foldable mirrors?
-rear wiper?
-Navigation???

my fear was needing to replace full wiring harnesses, etc...

Whoa not cheap - what do you think a Mini dealer will charge me for the install?

That is a ton for the kit. Tempting, though.

I didn't like the price either, but it was totally worth it later in the day when I was flipping through the radio without using the stupid ****.

I think I could retrofit the mirrors. But to do the rear wiper you would need new glass and wiring. Would be a huge pain.

I don't think the nav would be worth it as it would take a lot of work, wiring, and expensive parts. Garmin would be so much better deal.

I would be interested in learning how to retrofit the power side mirrors, I have a pretty narrow parking spot in my building.

Way, I sent you an email but wasn't sure if it went through... I am very interested to find out more about the cruise retrofit.. is it as simple as buy the bits and fit them or is there coding that needs to happen? Would the parts you sell fit and work on a UK GP2?

Thanks!

I sent you guys an email but not sure if it got through.. I would like to find out more about the CC retrofit. Is it just a case of buying the parts and plugging them in or does it need coding? Would the parts you sell work on a UK car?

Thanks!

Way,

Would you be able to get a hold of the black steering wheel inserts? I don't have a Multifunction Steering Wheel but I dislike all the silver on my steering wheel...

Don't know if our kit will work with a UK car since it is different programming, and coding. Plus we can't order UK specific RHD parts. I had to program and code the car after replacing all the parts.

WMW -

Do you know if a dealer will install the steering wheel kit w/ warranty (are the parts you have genuine Mini?)

How many hours should this take to do?

I can't get the idea of out my head.

Also - what is your favorite armrest I can just screw into the rear cupholder? I don't want to do anything 'invasive.'

It took me about an hour to install the parts, then the programming after that. Don't know what they will charge to program and code it. This is by far the best mod I've done.

As for armrest this is the one I'm doing, it bolts under the seat bolts.

Cocomats look so good in there. Damn that car is so nice. Really my only gripe is those wheels. So when are you guys making the GP diffuser is Carbon for us?
