Installed my Cravenspeed Strut Tower Defenders. (OK, this last weekend) Not only was it my first mod, but it also required me to go buy a torque wrench .

 

this (installed my tow hook)


Because of this.

 

What tires are your running on??

 

Rapidly going nucking futs waiting for the UPS truck! My new JCW CF rear wing is "out for delivery" right now.

 

I got the MINI Marshal gage set, vacuum/boost, water temp., oil pressure, oil temp. They match the tach and speedometer. I am making a mounting plate and gage pods. I'm not finished yet, pictures to follow. The default display on my radar detector is volts, so I didn't get that gage.

That looks awesome, I wish MINI offered a white color option for this reason. Perfect wheel/tire combo imo and the plates are priceless

 

The big brown truck finally made it! Got the new wing on post haste and made one quick freeway rip. Can feel it starting to work at about 55mph with a noticeable increase in straight line stability above that. I like it! Don't care for the silver end-plates and supports so they turn black next week.

BTW, BMW is playing fast and loose with what they call carbon fiber. The wing is NOT structural CF, but just a single layer of CF on the top surface of the plastic wing.

 

OK so I finally got the chance to install my new WMW springs, H-Sport 19mm rear sway bar and my Madness under-strut bar. What a difference! Finally I can shed the stress of wondering WTF to buy... Here's a couple pics from my 2nd rate cell phone.

 

Told you most of the JCW stuff was functional!

 

You weren't wrong, either! Ran it again this AM and at 80+ the car now feels rock solid. Will give it the acid test with the dreaded Mojave Desert crosswinds in a couple weeks on an 800 miler I have planned. Thanks!

 

Told my self that if it got above 40 hear in NJ i would suck it up and wash her. I might be the craziest guy in south jersey..I just couldnt stand the salt and road grime on her any longer.....and it gave me an excuse to play with my foam cannon

 

Installed a heater core last weekend. Not a very sexy job but having heat again is certainly nice.

 

well i finally got around plugging my holes (no homo) lolz but yea front end looks soo much better with the plugs, got them at home depot, got the touch up paint kit from someone on here for 15 shipped, did sand them down a bit prior to paint, couple coats and there they go, also pic of the devagging and painted my exhaust tips.

and to the iphone pics

 

Great looking wheels! That looks whiter than Pepper white... Whadyou do?

 

i agree, great looking pw mcs, like the wheels, and nice drop

 

corin.mcblide--LOVE the plate frame (being a husky myself :D)

 

After noticing that my JCW CAI box was shaking, I removed it and found the filter had come loose. No wonder I was losing power and fuel.

 

Looks Great! i love seeing a clean pepper white mini Can i suggest you do a rear wiper delete to really clean it up back there!

 

If I had a foam cannon, I would find reasons to use it also.

 

hehe yea i know, i will do that as well as paiting the front chrome left over parts black with plasti dip, and want to do springs and and wider wheels and tires, just gonna take some time. rear wiper delete look awesome though thank you

 

Way to keep that beauty clean! Like the calipers and mirrors, too. Very unique.

 

Its WELL worth the money! especially if you have a black or dark colored car. Makes washing a car so much more fun

Thank You!

Now if only my tow hook would get here so i can paint that green

 

I installed 28% Solar Gard Supreme tint all around with Ceremic on windshield! Will post pictures later...

 

After installing the MillTek wide tiped cat back, I split a heater hose. The hose is special order, BUT the dealer had the oil dipstick in stock.....GO FIGURE???
The MillTek looks and sounds GREAT!!! I drove it around the block, before a fellow Mini owner showed up for some work.
I JUST finished the install of an Alta 15% on the fellow Mini owners car, and when I tried to go home, STUPID HOSE!!! What a mess. So, Firday I can finish up my car.

 

My husband brought me home a surprise last night-checkerboard side scuttles! We installed them right away
