Mini nut

My wife got her 2009 R57 2 years ago. Drove it once. Got my 2010 R56 6 months ago. Love love love these cars.
Added rally stripes, AEM intake, and sport brake rotors and pads... Baby steps.
Glad to be apart of the best group of people in the world.

Hi, I tried to install my graphics and I'm very frustrated. How did you get rid of all the tiny bubbles? I tried both ways, wet and dried application with no luck. Any advice? Thanks. I end up wasting all my graphics....

Did you use a soapy water solution in a spray bottle? The solution and a squeegee helps to squeeze out any air pockets under the stripe. If you go to our site under MINI and click on the "tech info" tab at the top. Scroll to the bottom and you'll see a hood stripe article under Body, Chassis and Interior that can help you with your stripe install. It's on an R53, but should still be very helpful.

Mine is a non S model, so no supercharger. I thought his price sounded pretty good. Said the car it came out of had a bad gear box.

Welcome to NAM! Stripe looks great, and the color is a head turner. Nice engine mods. Any summer trips planned, or already hit the road with your R56?

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.
