However, only recommended for use on the passenger side when you have no passenger, but something heavy on the seat to set off the sensor. Seat belts can save your life, and hold you in your seat when cornering hard. Wear it. |

chrome speaker rings. has anyone taken out their black rings and 'chrome painted' them as a DIY? i have read in some forums people paid $109 minimum to buy the chrome rings kit and then install it. I figure chrome painting it should be just as easy, but has anyone done it?

Hardwiring Valentine 1 ???????
I apologize asking this question, because I know another thread already exists. But, wading thru it confuses my simple mind. So, at the risk of looking stupid, here's my question.......Where do I connect the positve wire of the V1 so the unit turns off when I turn the ignition off, and how do I route the wire so that I can mount the V1 above the left side of the rearview mirror? Thanks.

I need very specific instructions on how to jack a MINI up for tire rotation..
I'll be doing my own tire rotations on my 2010 R55 and am having a hard time finding a full set of very specific instructions on how to lift the entire car up using a jack and jack stands; I've never done it before.
I need step-by-step precise instructions that detail everything from the initial jacking up of the car to placing the jack stands under it, including exactly where to place the jack and all of the jack stands. Thanks! |

Thanks in advance. Then the glossy plastic a-pillar is on tabs similar to interior body panel pieces. You can pop them out, but you may need a good plastic pry tool. Good luck. |

The rear seat is a little more involved. If you start from the boot you should see some torx that are holding the seats where they hinge. Once they are out of that hinge, the other thing holding them in place is a stud that goes into the sides of the car, so you have to pull them towards the center. Just keep looking for bolts and removing them. :thumbsup: |

If I remember correctly, the piece along the roof trim need to come off first. It slides toward the windshield. There is a tab sticking into the rest of the trim around the roofline.

I Google searched it and surprise surprise it found it in the 1st gen forum. I figure it is probably similar as i bought the part and it looks very similar. I didnt end up doing it myself I had the guy doing my windshield do it. The one i replace has very minimal cosmetic damage so if anyone wants it let me know. |
How much did the windshield's guy charged you for the removal ?

Thanks in advance, Elie |
Has anyone changed the Grill Trim pieces (chrome on stock MSC and JCW) top and bottom?
I want to put the JCW black grill trim. the top part seems pretty straight forward - just a couple screws and it should pop out. The bottom I cannot tell if the entire grill has to be removed with the trim piece or if the trim piece is just force fitted on top of the grill. Any feedback is appreciated greatly! |

In order to remove the grill, you will need to pry the top 4 expanding rivets ( in front the grill) and press the 4 bottom clips (behind the grill) then pull it out from the bumper. It's pretty much self-explanatory once the grill is removed. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...20&hg=51&fg=15 |

All you gotta do is pull it out from the grill. If you're afraid of breaking it then remove the entire grill and go from there.

2 easy ones here...
I have 2 requests if possible:
1). Valentine One install on here is great. But, how/where do I install the remote display? Sitting in the car I can't think of a good place to put it. Any ideas? 2). Is it possible to install HIDs in the factory fog lamps? I have a 2010 MCS. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. :thumbsup: |
[QUOTE=AstroBlackBeast;3066288]I have 2 requests if possible:
2). Is it possible to install HIDs in the factory fog lamps? I have a 2010 MCS. yes it is, but you will need resistors because there is not enough power to power both lights. one will stay on while the other flickers and goes out |
Anyone have a write-up on how to get the Cooper gas cap on a Cooper S, and vise versa?

Can someone direct me to the proper site or procedure for drilling (enlarging) the l2mm holes in my wheels to 14 mm. Want to use the same oem lugs for my winter as my summer wheels without having to remove the Texas speedwerks lug/nut conversion kit each summer.

Anyone have a link to installing SS brake lines? Clubman S preferred.

I just found out from a dealership that my thermostat housing is cracked and slowly (thankfully) leaking coolant. Vehicle is still drivable however I need to top off the expansion tank from time to time. Dealership quoted $410.00 repair job, part is $106.27 (realoem.com) and I'm confident in my skills in replacing the unit myself if I had a decent set of instructions.
Have anybody replaced their thermostats on a R56 MCS and have a decent writeup? Cheers. |
Anyone know where I can find a guide on how to replace the rear bumper? Oh and if anyone has one for a PW 2009 MCS lying around send me a pm.:nod:
