I bought my R53 last year, and now I am looking for uprading the comfort, and making some minor modification to the motor to make it more reliable.
I already replace the strut upper mount on both side and add a strut tower brace bar (mainly to reduce the mushrooming).
I belive my English is quite good, but far from being perfect. So please by advance for my future mistakes. And don't hesitate to correct my mistakes ^^
My first project is to replace the sat nav by a "homemade" head unit with apple carplay, but without any modification on the plastic interior.
Next I will probably try to add powerfold side mirror.
Welcome to the forum and the MINI experience. It is a different world where a MINI needs a powerfold side mirror. Here on the other side of the world, with everyone else driving huge SUVs, a folding mirror is not necessary. I would love to drive where it is necessary.
Welcome to the Forum. When I visited Paris last year EVERY car I saw had fender damage. That's not surprising when you watch how people drive there -- lane markers seem to be just a suggestion and, at times, motorcyclists simply use the sidewalk!
