Installing a bunch of mods-anyone care to join?

So I received a bunch of mods for Christmas and am planning to perform most, if not all of the install myself. The mods are as follows:

1. Alta Intercooler
2. Aquamist HFS-4
3. Megan Racing Coilovers
4. H-sport rear sway bar
5. Alta boost and water temp gauges
6. Akrapovic downpipe
7. M7 splitter

This install will be on an 09 JCW Clubman. Shoot me a pm if you wanna come, chat/watch while I install, get your own hands dirty, or even mod your Mini alongside(if you need help/directions/camaraderie). I've done a JCW Aero kit install, Joey mod, black out pieces myself thus far on this car. I've also done the coilovers, splitter and sway bar install myself on my previous Clubman so not a complete beginner but doing mods alone can get boring.

Approximate time for each mod are as follows:

1. Intercooler:45-60 mins
2. Aquamist HFS-4: This could be a doozy and probably 4-5 hours
3. Megan Racing Coilovers: 3-4 hours depending on how stubborn the bolts are
4. Rear sway bar: 60-90 mins(will be performed in conjunction with coilovers)
5. Gauges: 60-90 mins(will be performed in conjunction with Aquamist)
6. Downpipe: 90-120 mins
7. Splitter: 60 mins(will be performed in conjunction with intercooler)

I'm located in Racine, WI but if you have a garage somewhere else, I can swing by there too.

Awesome Christmas. Wish I was closer I would be there in a second. How about posting some pics as you go along. Good luck.

I'll definitely be posting pics, especially of less common ones like the Aquamist.

WOW!! I thought I had a good Christmas! But you sir take the cake. Id come up and help but I'm prolly 4+ hrs south of you. Good luck and take lots and lots of pictures.

I guess I could come up and go snowboarding for half the day and then help out the rest of the day. How soon you trying to install everything?
