Bought some new shoes for Momo, I think next up will be a 3M Dinoc CF roof vinyl, then I will do the mirrors myself. I think the rear wing will just have to stay white. It's going to be a Pita to wrap. That just gives me incentive to get an M7 C-wing.

Can't wait to see the difference in acceleration with the near 7lb per corner drop.

 

added new seats over the weekend.

 

I got mine back from the dealer. 2011 Cooper S Clubman, had it for a week when the check engine light came on.

I spent the weekend with a Cooper S convertible (sunny and 70F here so I put that to good use...), the dealer found a fouled sparkplug that apparently came that way from the factory, and I've got my baby back.

 

Unfortunately nothing...

I'm doing an expatriate assignment in Taiwan while my car is back in NYS...

 

New performance EBC red stuff ceramic brake pads all around.Now that I can stop quickly again, once the pads are bedded in, I can drive fast again. Not that I would be speeding or anything like that.

 

Added my newly arrived Jsart wing tip.

 

Brakes...New rotors, Carbotech pads, Goodrich SS braided lines and repainted the calipers.

 

Calipers turned out Great!!
What brand of paint did you use?

 

Installed my long awaited JCW sideskirts on my Clubman S.

 

That looks great, I'm still holding on to see if anyone has a spare palo uber one laying around collecting dust...

 

Ordered H&R lowering springs, 19mm rear sway bar and Alta end links from Alta... The Black Friday deal made it worth while. Finally some true *performance* mods for my little MC!

 

Thanks! I really like the way it looks. Since it was cold out I took the spoiler inside and let warm up 20-30 minutes before installing. The adhesive that comes on is is some strong stuff too!

 

Pics. or it didn't happen!!

 

I blacked out my chrome scuttles and left just the red S. I also hardwired in my RX65 radar detector and got rid of the pesky coiled cord.

 

I washed the left rear wheel, where our dog peed on it.

Two of four of my new Konig wheels have arrived. Household scale wieghs them in at 18.8lbs. Gonna be a nice difference from the R90s.

 

NICE! Put 2 coats of Wheel Wax on them and they'll keep looking that shiney. Did it to my Konig Britelite's and they clean up with an air hose.

 

I'll pick some up tonight. Will be getting them mounted the 3rd, should give me plenty of time to hit them all with it.

 

I loved it!! HD day in SoCal. Top down, smiled & waved at all the other mini
drivers. Scads of new "leased" mini's on the road around here, but not so many with the "Mini State Of Mind". 75% of the drivers looked at me like I was a kook and no waving or thumbs-up.

 

Didn't do it today, but tomorrow AM the chrome brake light rims get changed to body color. Dark Silver of course, LoL! Pics coming.

 

Broke the 1200 mile mark! Sport mode is now ON!

 

Oh bad dog, no more riding in the front seat until he's trained better.

 

I washed my Mini and took this Pic with my phone after I cleaned him!!!!

 

Pretty crummy light angle, but here's how the body color brake light rims came out. Paint match is perfect and the look is just what I was hoping for.

 

Looks great Dwight. Second pair of wheels arrived today. First coat of wax applied.

Can't wait till the 3rd.
