Any idea how much weight the Rhino Lining added? I'm thinking of having Line-X applied to my wheel arch trim. (We Line-X'd our Jeep, the entire 4-door thing, and it actually wasn't bad, so I'm guessing roof and mirrors/bumper can't be bad, nor wheel arches.)
And... how did they remove your roof rails? Is that accessible from top-side, or do you have to go through/under the headline from the inside? (I'm looking to remove and replace mine.)

It probably added about 10lbs. We did a thin coat. The purposes was to protect the paint and not show dirt. My other cars are black so I'm sick of black paint, so we went over the major black pieces so they don't age. If doing your wheel arches I'd imagine that they'd do something a bit thicker.
To remove the roof rails you need to remove the headliner and unscrew them from the inside of the car.
That's where I got them. Used all pieces except the one beneath the center console lid since I have the wireless charging station there. Use that mat instead as a desk coaster.

Somehow, someway we managed to lose the tow hook cap on our front bumper. So took the MINI and picked this up from the dealer and dropped it off at the auto body shop for painting. When asking the body shop about how much it would cost I was told nothing, but I would be asked to fill out a service survey. SCORE!
DINAN Elite Tune. It pulls really nice now, but I added some weight, so it's only a little faster than it was stock with out all of the mods. Still worth it in my opinion.

Looks great. You need to outfit a bull bar & winch on the front to complete the look.

Ah ok - that's what I figured. I still need to get this tune for ours... we still haven't yet hit 5k miles which is usually the target mileage for me before I tune. I have noticed the motor has "loosened" up finally and feels more free than when we picked it up... I'll get this done soon.
Did you install it yourself? Seems pretty darned easy.

I had Mini do it because the car was already there but you can do it yourself. No need to wait till 5k miles. All factor sensors will remain so they prevent anything from breaking. Just wait till the 500 mile mark.
