Thumbs up Mods list

Hi Countryfolk,

I thought it would be a good idea to have a spot where we can all share what mods we have on our cars!

So my mods are:

1) Microphone moved from right side to left side
2) Interior LED Swap
3) Exterior LED Swap (will be done in a few days)
4) Akrapovic Downpipe
5) JCW Midpipe (silencers cut out)
6) JCW Backbox
7) ECU tune by PAW in Miami
8) NM Eng Cold Air Intake
9) NM Eng Turbo Heat Shield
10) misc exterior + interior things (for example JCW Aero Kit)

Here's my YouTube channel... I will be constantly uploading videos of the car so please subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/kconer5

The car has had it for almost 6,000 miles... Put an 18mm (diameter) spark plug spacer in for the bottom 02 sensor which just happened to work perfectly and fool the system without having to do any sort of coding.

The red 4 is basically making the 4 in the ALL4 red in color, most people use a vinyl sticker of some sorts.

How close In color are the xenon H8 fog lights to the stock xenon headlights? and are they throwing any codes?

Hey cbryantnyc,
They are very close in color maybe a little more white light. No codes or anything. Here's the web site I ordered them from: www.hoen-usa.com.
Got the LED DRL bulbs from ebay just searched for error free LED bulbs, can't remember the size.
Also that H8 bulb takes a little oomph to get it out. The base has to be squeezed together to clear the retaining tips.
Good luck and enjoy your MINI!
