Very nice looking Mini. Couple of questions if you don't mind. Any mods needed to take advantage of the Accessport remapping? Also, what offset are your wheels and what size spacers did you use?

 

Got the ST coilovers on and adjusted

 

Today I installed my Yaesu FTM-350 Ham radio in the car.

 

Nice! What wheels/tires do you have there? Lookin' good.

 

Thanks they are IForged 18's with Yokahama 205/40's

 

Just got my Mini 4 days ago. Yesterday we plastidipped the chrome accents.

 

Singer05 - Mr Beanmobile is looking really sharp.

 

I love the plasti-dipped MINI badge! My husband was just talking about doing that to his. How did you manage to tape it off, or however you did it? lol

 

It's really easy to do. There are tons of videos on youtube that will show you step by step. in particular by dipyourcar.com tape off about an inch around the symbol coat it on, and peel off the excess.

 

Did my first auto cross in my car today. Not first auto x though. Took 7 seconds off between my first and fifth run.

 

Blacked out the beltline, did the Cold Air Intake mod & added the Wyvern Motorsports Spoiler Extension.

 

Greetings all the way from South Africa!!

Well , i carbon wrapped the inside of the hood scoop red. was just playing around with a few ideas but i actually like it. its not too flashy, but it is visible.



Got "Actual Size" plates with "SOOPER" in small font at the bottom, seen many people smile and take pictures of it completely amused




Then i ordered some Union Jack door handle covers off ebay. Adds a nice touch to the interior





ive also recently added some Lamin-x film on the tail lights. there are some cheap films around but Lamin-x has been great for me. a bit thick to work with, but once the heat is applied it sticks and shapes perfectly most people go for the smoked or dark black look, but i like the red

 

ive also discovered a similar looking MINI to mine on the web made my day!



Heres Mine - Still very much stock standard. but i am planning some major mods



And behold My Twin!

 

Installed Glove box organizer. Now the 9 dosen't slide around anymore. Yay!

 

HAhah! Oh wait, Colorado, maybe he's serious!

Registration and license plates!!!


What's a parking space?? Hahah

 

didnt really had much to do and decided that it was time for me to get rid of the black dip and go with the white. hope you like it.

 

I like! That's a lot of dip!

 

I picked up my MCSa from the shop today after getting the valve body replaced. Fixed the hard shifting issue and now that the problems are resolved, the fun of modding can begin! Looking to add a 15% SC pulley and an intake for now, but I'd like to add a JCW cat back and chip it eventually.

 

Got a half power indicator this morning, drove back home, restarted everything seemed to be okay but took it to dealer to have checked out. Got a MCS convertible as loaner. Will be nice to try this out.

Looking to order H-sport comp RSB tonight (birthday present form wife and kids)

 

Well this is all from one week, but I got her new shoes first:-). Then took her to the dealer this morning for two recalls some mechanical engine work. So today and tomorrow she'll be getting fixed.

 

Recently:
-Replaced leaky motor mount with OEM.
-Euro parcel shelf (driver side)
-"3"-ball pool ball shift ****
-Coverking neoprene car seats
-Osram 65W headlight bulbs
-Rubber mats
-Cabrio braces
-Glove box organizer
-PIAA 540 driving lights (waiting to be installed)
-Rear window and rear side window shades

 

Today I completed my RMW remote tune. I was able to notice an immediate difference. I like the fact he increased my idle speed to 1k as it really smoothed out the NVH that increased with the addition of the Powerflex engine and gearbox mounts as well as the VibraTecnics upper mount.

I also received my Bluetooth OBDII adapter and got to mess around with the Torque Android App. Looks like this is going to be a fun tool.

Now I am waiting on UPS to deliver my two cans of Astro Black and Clear-coat so I can complete my wheel arches and rocker panel project. I am trying to get this all done prior to Saturday when my wife and I will be cruising the Western North Carolina Mountains with The Tarheel Mini Club.

Any photos of those seat covers? Wouldn't mind seeing the fit.

 

Here u go

 

Looks pretty good from here. What's your opinion on them? I've thought about getting Wet Okoles but balked at the price.
