Was supposed to be aligned earlier today - frigging .50 cent part was holding up the process - they couldn't find it to complete the headlight washer. ARRGHH. Part found. Bumper going back on - just waiting to get it over to Currys - it will be done tomorrow. Yay!

Goes to show you how much of the MINI is made of plastic - it almost looks like it was stripped before it cooked off....
