Do these even help a MINI? I thought if you look @ the MINI engine it has several grounds already.

anything connected to the (-) terminal will be a ground...unscrew one of those bolts... and put your ground on it!

I bought a set and then looked into the engine bay and saw a massive wire grounding the engine to the frame so I gave the cables to a Miata owner. I was hoping to get better FM reception

Not to jack the thread...but hey GrillGuy..... painting all the "stuff" behind the grill in flat black will really make a difference.

Have any of you that have installed these noticed any difference?

Or better yet, measured one? The Mini is pretty well grounded. There are lots of ground meccas in the harness, bolted to the frame. Also, the previosly mentioned ground strap from the engine to the frame over on the drivers side.... It doesn't look like the Mini has bad grounding design to start.
