I did mine a while back... not to hard. Mine aren't perfect but sure does beat spending the 100 bux to have them installed.

Getting my coilovers and adjustable rear control arms installed as we speak.

 

Finally after a long winter of collecting parts I installed them. DBA-4000 rotors all the way around, EBC Red Stuff all the way around, new brake wear sensors, flushed the old brake fluid out with new and an oil and filter change. Just shy of 7000 miles on the old oil and a sample goes to Blackstone Labs first thing Monday. The oil to be sent off was MY first oil change in my new used 08 clubman bought last July. The results of that sample will give me a good idea of how long I should go between oil changes.

Drive it like you stole it!

 

^^^ I have the same rotors - they're working out nicely.

I did drive mine like I stole it today. Dry run for MTTP 5 with some of my MINI peeps. What a great day to motor!

Coke or Pepsi?



I wanted to set up a shot like this all day since we're opposites and really just winged it when we pulled into this gas station. Didn't notice the vending machines until I started shooting.

 

Where did you get that bag sticking out of the glove box?

 

Installed a TSW 19mm RSB this morning. Installed a 15% WMW Pulley this afternoon.

Drove and smiled and said WHEEEEEE!!!!! a lot this evening.

Today has been a great day!

 

Been working on quite a few things this week, final touches coming tomorrow, along with some pics for all you guys!

 

I PDed my wheels on Wednesday and had my stripes put on yesterday.

 

I applied a John Cooper Works Engine emblem...

 

Old downpipe out! New downpipe in!

 

Went for a cruise with a local vw group today. The roads got twisty, I got happy, they got slow, i got un-happy, when safety permitted I passed them and became happy again.

 

I got sick of the red and orange side reflectors. So I decided to Smoke Plasti Dip them. Came out great! I did this after a hand washed my car today(didn't wax because my bumper was hit a while ago, waiting another month or so. I did get it fixed for those curious about it).

 

Oil and filter change.

 

I adjusted the windshield washer fluid sprayer nozzles on my countryman. Did you know they were adjustable? They are on a ball type swivel. I plasti dipped my gas filler cover and unsuccessfully tried to program my garage door opener to the mirror dealy bob.

 

Looks pretty good! How much light output, or lack thereof, is there now? I want to tint mine, but I'm debating on using the tint film or plasti-dip.

 

Yesterday...I gave Molly an Interior Detail, washed (Dawn), and clayed her, today I need to finish up with a nice Polish and Wax!!

 

Worked like a charm, bro! Thanks!

 

I will take a picture in a few for you to see. I put four coats on each side.

 

Nice Randy !!!

I am guessing since the barf bag is full in second image, if asked your passenger would agree as to the effectiveness of this mod.

Super nice wheel btw.....

 

Some plasti-dip fun. Wheels, side panel, gas cap, and a few spots on the front...

 

Nicely done !!!!

I have a set of wheels in need of some PD....how do you remove the brake dust on the wheels once it's applied ? Will wheel cleaners remove the PD ?

 

Are they Blackline headlight and taillight rings?

 

Yessir they are!

 

That's what it looks like with the lights on.

 

I like!!! I have the plasti-dip in black. I'll try that and do a few coats, but keep it light to provide maybe 50-75% coverage.

Thanks

 

Thanks! Yeah I was gonna do the black dip but I liked the smoke dip cause it matches my license plate tint cover. Good luck, post pictures of it after!
