I am doing some mods and am looking for a photo of the rear fenderwell with the panels removed.

A view of the rear shock bolts is what I need to see.
I know I will only see the tops of the bolts but that would be a big help

Thanks

 

If I would of seen this post earlier...I would have taken pics. I had my tires off and I don't run fender liners. If I am not terribly busy running around tomorrow...I "might" be able to get a few shots for you.

 

Thanks ...
I am looking for photos from the INSIDE of the car with the panels off, looking at the top of the fenderwell

 

Don't know if these pics are any use, from my recent Dynamatting ...

GB,
what are those tubular canisters with the yellow labels that are mounted to the walls in the back of the MINI?

Just curious,
thanks,
Rick

 

Those are the explosives (!) for the side curtain airbags - when fired, they generate all the gas that fills the airbags, pushing them out/down from the roofline.

 

Thanks, hadn't seen anything like those before...of course I haven't been able to fully dig into the depths of my MINI...yet.

 

The GP is missing the rear seat bracket mounts...I also did sound mats in my car while in the process of doing a custom interior...but other than that, the interiors are the same.

 

Ian, did you pull the panels yourself or have help? Looking for tips on removal without destruction

 

Thanks for the photos !

Really helpful

I finished my project today.
(Coilovers with compresion / rebound adjustable from up top ... rear panels INSTALLED)

Write up and photos to come

 

Smokey, sorry - didn't see your post before.
The rear panels are easy to remove. I think it took me 15 minutes on the GP. Harder on non-GP because you have to lift out the rear seats first. But still quite easy. Just a few screws in the trunk, then pull the panels away from the body work

 

in for good info...pulling mine apart as soon as the weather breaks

 

Thanks Ian! No worries, I've had the seats out for months now just lacking the motivation right now to get in there and snoop around. Hope to get to it this week so your timing is perfect.
