Prooooove it^^

 

Had it double-waxed before going to a MINI get-together with the new group here

 

Hello all! For the break in period ( month old ) I drove 715 miles. Took a trip from Birmingham, AL to Monroe, Michigan.......just awesome

 

Where does everyone get the cartoon version of their cars in their signature?

 

Nice I did the same sort of thing. Drove from Huntsville to Idaho.

Also, welcome fellow alabamian, I grew up in Birmingham.

 

plasti-dipped the headlight/taillight rings, and upper grill trim..

 

I just got done changing her oil for the first time. Was actually pretty easy after I read all of the horror stories on here...... Reset service ododmeter and everything with the help of this great forum.

My only question is how long does everyone go before changing their oil? I used synthetic etc. I was just wondering?

 

Everyone varies between 2500 (for the extremely ****) up to 15000, like recommended. I personally buy a respectable brand of oil and change it every 7500.

All units are miles.

 

Kill them, with fire. But that's just my $0.02

 

I added front mud flaps to my wife's 07 cabrio s. Going to add to my daughter's justa cabrio this week. Is there such a thing as rear flaps? My r56 has them all the way around and they do really help with chips and dirt.

 

Still waiting for my 2011 Clubman S. Ordered the "Stubby Antenna", and "The Platypus" from Craven Speed.

 

Yup, Outmotoring has OEM rear mud/stone flaps for $57.

 

Check out the "What if...." Thread!!

 

Every 6mo. regardless of mileage, Molly IS a Garage Queen!!

 

Molly got her's both Front & Rear before we took her Home. As far as dirt NO...not sure what you mean by "chips"??

 

Can you be a little more specific? I searched for the thread you mentioned and the search came back with 246 results..... Thanks

 

Nevermind I found it.... I can be tenacious if nothing else.....LOL

 

It's a sticky in general. 2nd thread down.

 

Thanks for the replies concerning mud flaps. Got the fronts from outmotoring, but found no rears for the r52, but I will call Aaron to be sure. Also, chips meaning rock chips. Not so much on back, but definetly on the front.

 

Ordered HID License Plate lights for my wife's 2011 Clubman S thats still in transit from http://aznoptics.com/

 

Tonight, it's my weekly time for a wash + wax. Cant wait.

Coming soon: My H&R springs + M7 lip. I wish I was capable of buying these guys sooner than a couple months.

 

Ms Maggie got new "Shoes" today! I'm loving the look of these "Envy" O.Z Racing wheels!

 

Today, A small lady with her crap Elantra backed into my baby at the gas station. I got out and saw the small dent on my front bumper and she told me she couldn't see anything. I got her number and plate number...cuz it's Fourth of July weekend, I am not gonna work on it but in your experience, how much would that paint/repair job cost? It's a very minor dent but it's visible and it's painful. I almost went mental if she didn't cut her finger earlier today.

 

If the paint isn't messed up take it to a paintlesss dent removal place. It may cost ~$120

 

Took my Mini out to put some miles on her and to Bake that wax stuff outta her ...
