Hey I'm interested in installing black headlight "housings?" like on your MINI on my 06 MC non s convertible BRG, did you purchase them or was it a DIY type of thing?

After fitting a new water pump a couple of weeks ago, I found that the hose or flange from the pump to the block was weeping! So I had to remove everything again to replace this little part! Frustrating, but it seems ok now

If you have halogens take a look at this set. http://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2005-C...hts/ES2724053/
If you have factory Xenons the DIY it
Oh that's what that is - I thought he had a new pulley mod!

Where did you wire it in? I'm thinking about that for mine. Right now, I have a USB adaptor in the "utility plug" (or whatever they call the former cigarette lighter) and the wire just hangs down to there from the phone.

Today was the first day of BUSTER's spring clean-up. He got a full on bath, including tires, wheels and convertible top.
Tomorrow is clay bar day.

I ran the wires behind the dash through the kickplate next to the gas and vampire tapped the cigarette lighter. I already had the Tach off so getting the trim off was a bit easier.
Started my R56M!N!AC makeover:
50 Cal Bullet Stubby
Blacked out headlight and taillight trim plus hood scoop
Gray on the brake ducts
New Euro Plate mounted/ moved tow hook to rear...
Still need to sterilize the rest, black out belt line/fuel cap/grille/ and door handles :-)

BUSTER got the full-on Clay Bar treatment today. Lots of winter muck that was embedded in the clear coat is now gone, leaving only a slippery smooth paint finish behind. Tomorrow, machine polishing to get ride of winter once and for all
, well for 2014 at least.
