MINI Makeover

MINI hit 130,000 miles recently and I decided I'm not ready to get rid of it yet so did a few mods to it that I have been thinking about for a long time. All DIY projects except for paint. Vented A-Panel, Molded Brake Ducts, and Form Fit Splitter to Aero Bumper.. Also changed my hidden driving lights to some alittle bigger. Still need to wire them up and adjust them,,

Splitter is 3/16'' Lexan. A-Panels were cheap aftermarket metal ones and then I cut them up, and used the Fins to hold it in place. ( along with some welds of course ). Bent some alum mesh to go in behind the opening. Here are a couple of pics before paint, and of the brake ducts before paint.
