R60 What did you do to your Countryman TODAY?
Years ago on my R53, I had the badge overlays from Aesthetic Creations, and they used the same double sided tape. Besides that, they are really nice and I am probably going to order the door handle covers next as that is my only parts still chrome.

Yes. I was a little disappointed that it came with a little tube of super glue, and no instructions. Sure common sense, says use the glue, but how much, where, does it ruin the original emblem? I emailed them to find out and got no response. I had 4 pieces of this http://www.findtape.com/product421/J...)#.UcPZxmt5mK0 laying around and it worked perfectly. I put a couple of pieces on each overlay close to the edges and it worked great. I figured if I ever did remove I was only dealing with sticky adhesive rather than super glue. Not sure why they did not include this with the product originally.

Introduced him to his Grandfather...
Yesterday Chaos was introduced to his Grandfather (no name yet) who is now a permanent resident at our house....
He's a 1965 Morris Mini-Minor. Originally from New Zealand, lived in So Cal for awhile, then Utah and now is back in Nor Cal. What a great little car!
Going to the dmv on Monday to register him. Put the paper plate on so as to drive him a little. Already ordered a custom plate: 6T5MINI.

Yep. When I removed them to sell the car they were not easy to get off.

Did you remove those to put the plastidip on or paint them while on the car? If the latter, what adhesive did you use for the CooperS logo?

Ok guys and gals. Need your help.
I was driving home from the grocery store today and Connected's Driving Excitement popped up just as soon as I connected my phone. Usually it starts at the Connected menu. And temp gauge (w/in connected) read 32° and then my check engine light came on right after a stop light (sitting next to a Porsche) and I got a high engine temp warning. Check the temp again and still at 32°. I get home and turn off the car, and her fan ran for at least 1-2 minutes. Hasn't done that since I had the temp sensor replaced.
Any ideas or anyone experienced this also?
Thanks for your input.
