Here are the directions the Mini tech's use to install the mud flaps. Thanks to Mini Part Dept for these. (link below)

My favorite part of this is the end section: "This retrofit system does not require coding."

You think?

 

Awe come on, surely you can figure out a way to mod the flaps to have a wire going to them and have the windshield wiper lever do something cool to the flaps ;-)

 

That's true - I did find how to have the rain sensor close the sunroof, after all.

We could rig the wiper control to turn on puddle LEDs under the flaps for effect, or perhaps back-light trucker-lady appliques on the flaps.

I'm kidding, of course..... but it could be done.

 

How about "disconnect the negative pole of the battery"? Perhaps this only applied to the electronic version of the mudflaps.
