I changed the water reservoir.

Hit a curb, damaged the little spoiler in front of the left wheel, and also the windshield water reservoir. I ordered both parts from Classic-MINI, saving around 50% from the local dealers. Disconnecting the electrical connections was the hardest part. Weird looking reservoir, by the way, I thought it would look like a traditional bottle.

Looks like a pain in the patootie. Did we learn anything about hitting curbs? I guess when you design a car to look exactly the way you want it to look, it's up to the engineers to design things to fit, no matter what they end up lookin like.

Motor safe!

Wow, high marks to you for even thinking about fixing this on your own. But, I'm sending you back to the "How to drive on Los Angeles streets" class for remedial training.

I hit the curb because 'The Curb" jumped in front of me. I know I'm a good driver.
