Sure....I'll snap a few in the morning.

 

A few pictures after the install....



A dime would not even come close to fitting between the existing dash and new trims...

 

Thanks. Can you take a pic of the Mickey piece? That's the part I think most of us are talking about with the gap. My a/c vents fit perfect just like yours.

 

Here you go......Should be another in my gallery.....

Sorry for the inverted look....Didn't do that with the Mini...
But have and can at FL 150 and up......

 

So, you're at FL 150, inverted, while posting these?

Very nice install! Now you've got me thinking...

 

Haha...I could only wish....As my saying goes "Born to Fly...Forced to work!"
And as mentioned above I can't take the credit...Brandon and his team @ NCM did the conversion while in for the clutch change over....Awesome job!

On another note, swapped out the side scuttle bulbs for the new LED's you recommended Also got in the LED's for the lower lights...Hopefully get those in over the next few days....

 

Thanks Flyer53. Looks good.

 

The gap cannot be seen on mine either from that angle. It's tough to see from outside of the car as well, but you can feel it.

 

Did my swap today. I have the gap. The one thing I noticed is that on mine, very very little pressure on the top of the Mickey causes it to sit flush with the dash. So getting it to sit flush with the dash probably won't be hard. Wzabrouski is going to ask a tech friend of his since the only flush trim so far seems to be the one installed by a tech.

I do really like the look more than the former grey or plasti-dipped parts. The only thing is that they appear less robust now. Not a bad thing to me, just different.

 

Am I correct that the only person that has the Mickey piece fit flush is the one that was installed by Mini? Did we ever see a profile pic of this install?

 

which LEDs for lower lights are you referring to?

 

Does your cm have the navi or the regular speedo?

 

He's got navi.

 

Flyer53 is running LEDs for city lights (the park lights in the top half of the fog light cluster).

These are what I have in the upper half of the two bulb fixture......
They look great!

 

These are the ones I used. They match the color of 6k perfectly. These will also need to be coded out, no resistors.

 

I have those in the license plate lights, the boot light, and the puddle lights. The 5-count SMD puts out good light, but I really favor the 15-count SMD cool white LEDs (WLED-CWHP15-T).

Available HERE.

The 15 SMDs put out more light (important if you use the city lights only as DRLs) and protrude into the light housing more. I think that the longer LED actually takes advantage of the reflector better.

YMMV

 

Does anyone else have this piece sitting flush after the install?

 

I do, but again was installed by service at the dealership...Speaking of NCM, just received this email.....from my parts manager:

Fred,

Friday afternoon I received the last piece of the order for the center console. I have the center piece with the cup holders, the trim for the shifter and the inserts for the cup holders.

As far as a rear cargo box/rack I have not heard of such a beast. The only thing I now of hooking into the two tow hooks on the rear is the bike rack. I will keep my ears open about it though.

Thank you,

Woohooo...What a team.thumbsup:

 

Can you post a couple of photos?

 

I did.....at posts 152 & 154..Might be a few more in the gallery as well.

 

Since you (and I) have the Connected center joystick console, I am very interested in how the cup holder upgrade goes! Keep us updated with photos, if possible.

 

Profile pic. Like the one with the quarter as reference.

 

Absolutley ! I hope to make my way over to pick-up the parts tomorrow ...if not Wednesday.
