hey Checker.. i have to ask.. where did you get those eye stickers on the headlights? is that what they are? let me know. thanks.

 

I got them from Auto-X-Cooper. They are a perforated vynl so light still shines through when you turn on the headlights. He has a whole selection and you can email him about the contest eyes and he can send you pics of them (these were in the contest). There is actually a black and white set of eyes in there that I like the most: they look really cool.

The tube is just dryer tubing wrapped with foil insulator tape wrapped in electrical tape. Drilled out air box with IPG filter. Works great.

 

Finally installed my Cooper S Gas Cap

 

sweet justa.... im really feeling it

 

Is your custom exhaust able to be done in the US? If so, how would I go about doing it? It looks really slick and am very interested in doing so.

 

I'm sure that there are some specialists in US who can build a custom exhaust.
You just have to find one, and buy a JCW exhaust tip .

 

thanks for the info Checker... i'll check it out. another question...any problems from the police as they are covering your main headlights? Second, when you say lights still shines through when the headlights are on...is the light still as strong or not?

 

Spain is still in it!!! Viva Espana!! You should do the same mod, tmo.. as you are in Spain

 

Hahaha. Yes they are. Damn! I wanted them to lose, because I had a trip to Portugal and I didn't want any of the locals messing with my car due to the Espana tags on it lol.

 

trip to Portugal with your Spain plates... hmmm.. not a good idea now as they lost to Spain you might come back home with no nice exhaust system or rims on your car if you go there now

 

I actually went there over the weekend. I just got back this morning. To my surprise they didn't do anything to my car. Although I did make a younger woman walk into a pole as she turned to look at my car .

 

nice one . glad your car was safe. i'll be in Spain beginning of August ... Valencia but without the Mini...don't feel like driving so far

 

Cool. I'll see about a trip up there.

 

hey tmo.. what is your opinion on a quick fix for the sound? is this duct tape on the inside of the silencer a OK thing? you think any problem with the tape coming off? i don't have the money to do what you did to your exhaust system, so i would like to know if you think it's pretty good?

 

Got the JCW Carbon Dashboard this morning, my first "real" modification to the car.


Also another picture to compare the JCW carbon dashboard with my old fluid silver dashboard wrapped with 3M DiNoc Carbon Vinyl. (As you can see my wrapping job was not perfect... )
At first I prefered the DiNoc vinyl, but my mind totally changed when I got the JCW dashboard this morning...

 

nice carbon dashboards! was the vinyl wrap expensive to buy? i don't want to spend the cash to get the nice carbon boards like yours...so your vinyl might be an option for me. does the vinyl come off too without any problems or once it is on..that is it?

 

Awesome. So much better than that fake CF stuff

 

It is not very expensive, I paid about 55$ (including shipping) for a 120cm*50cm sheet.
And it comes off very easily, without leaving any trace.

Edit : Rally, yes, definately.

 

thanks for the info... easy to get your dashboard out too?

 

Very easy yes, it took about 5mins, you just have to pop it out with a screwdriver.

Edit : Here is a video so you can see how to pop out the driver side, it's the same thing for the passenger side.
