The back flaps there's 2 pins that get broken the one under the car in the back is the worst. once that is removed your committed. The tools needed are a 1/4 drive, 8mm socket, a pair of pliers or channel locks, and a couple of flat head screw drivers. What I did was used a bucket or hot soapy water and a rag to clean all around where the mud flap would sit then dried it and then wiped it with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any wax or coating on the plastic. then I removed the under plastic pin and the bolts needed for the guard. I then wiped the area with the wipe that came with the rear guards. I found getting the under bolt in first worked out the best for me. The clips that come with the guards do not slide over the under brace that the bottom of the guard attaches to. Had to set the clip on top of the brace worked fine. Just get that one started and then have guard in place and add the other bolts with washers and the one pin thenjust snug it all up. good luck

 

Yes, from Sewell. Good prices and fast shipping. Just got the side vents in too, which I will install today. My local dealership is a rip off...they tried to charge me $120 for one of the front pressure lips (flap hanging down in front of front tires). Found it on Sewell for less than $9. Now looking for a different dealership for service.

 

Got my front mud guards installed (thanks for the input, Mr Smooth) First one took some time...took a bit trying to get those plastic tabs out, but figured the easiest thing to do was to drill them out. Wrapped up the second one in about 10 minutes.

Will attempt the rears tomorrow..maybe.

 

Oh ok I ordered mine yesterday hope to have them installed in a few days thanx for the feed back PePe R60

I received my Mini welcome package today.

 

What is it ? ....photo#1

 

The front ones are easy, now the back took a bit. But if you find you'd like some help give a holler, I'm free this weekend.

 

Thanks for the offer. Will probably be tomorrow or Wednesday night. Might take a look later tonight to get a sense of the space and the requirements for not taking off the wheel.

 

ECS, thanks and exactly what I'm talking about...you have it for $8 and my dealer tries to charge me $120. Pretty stupid in the day of internet searches. Already ordered the plugs as I will install myself, but looking for a new dealer for normal service since I don't trust them now. I ordered from Sewell because your side vents showed not in stock until next week. Next time

 

Thanks, you are welcome.

The quicker you order things, the quicker we can try to get them in. Sometimes we can get them sooner, it just depends what it is.

Also we are here to help with questions and such.

Post up some pics when you get it done. Helps out people with the same issues.

Thanks again.

 

I noticed a new Fiat 500L parked in the parking lot today. I could not resist but to snap a photo. Similar shape and size.

 

Similar shape and size to what?

wow, those Fiats are seriously ugly, ugly cars...

 

I should have said, they both have four doors and a hatch. Those Fiats are certainly ugly!

 

Took my filthy Bully in to MoP for a wash... whether it needed it or not


Cheers

 

Front end alignment to correct the slight drift to the right. The right front toe was way off. Gotta love pot holes!

 

it's a tote bag/backpack thing.

 

Thanks

 

Finally got my bigger cup holders in....Thanx for the fast shipping(2days) Sewell parts!!! This was a very simple project around 15 min start to finish and they are much bigger and work great! If you are always runnin through the drive thru and love your soda like me this is a "must have" MOD.

 

BLAWWWWH you couldn't even give me that car..............just ugly! MINI 4 LIFE!

 

Did that last Thursday night! Also installed the rear ones too for the bench.

 

Replaced the OEM run flats with Extreme Contact DWS and ordered the MB collapsable spare and adapter kit.

Should get one more warm season out of the run flats, but will definitely enjoy the traction this winter.

 

We have the front larger cup holders / Mickey ( center speedo) Upgrade & matching side dash vents / rear dual cup holder thread here.

Hey ECS,
What's the eta on the rear cupholders and all parts needed?

 

Got rid of the horrible run flats...should have done it sooner. Thought it only appropriate to get Coopers (Zeon RS3-A).
