I've very busy lately!
I mounted my TomTom50 on the left side using CravenSpeed's ProMount.

Then I installed "Belkin's Bluetooth CarAudio ConnectAUX" for those of us who don't have connected!
After that I mounted my MINI base rack with newly powdercoated crossbars

And Lastly I coded (widows roll up holding lock button)

Very productive weekend!

Nothing as cool as "self destruct"!
The blue is going to be for driving lights (a VIP set), green is for rear fog light, and red is for rear flood (so I remember not to turn it on). The rear fog/flood is the one "Mical" installed. I have the parts, just need to find the time!

Rear fog/flood should be classified as an anti tailgating measure - "one ping, one ping only"

Nice!

Translation:
Catapult
Won: 03/01/2013 1:10 pm
Result (s) 9.9

Accelerate your Mini from 0 to 100 km / h in a certain time. The badge is it depending on the outcome of 1.2 or 3 stars. To undercutting the time depends on the model and engine type (zBMini John Cooper Works: 12.0,10.0, 8.0 seconds; Mini One: 19.0, 17.0, 15.0 seconds)

What product did you use for the clearbra?

Hi. Don't have our MINI yet, but I am interested in getting the front area of the car clearcoated. Would appreciate any info and tips. Thanks.

Looks great.


Did you just "clean" the LEDs to be white?

Not sure what you mean by "clean" but LED's are not like bulbs. It's not always the same color light and only determined by tinting on the glass. The LED itself illuminates in the needed color.

What is done here is to de-solder the original LED and put a different color LED in it's place.

That's crazy cool. Where did you get that idea? Have you done a write up on this mod? Would be cool if you did
