Probably going to upgrade the rear sway bar next unless someone has a better idea.
Thanks for looking!

 

Good Job!

 

Looks like your on your way. A sway bar will definitely be a great bang for the buck upgrade, go for it.

 

Way can also fix you up with a short shifter (several to choose from) for a reasonable price.

 

Thanks, I appreciate your comments!

 

This is an inspiring post for me. I always want to mod my MINI but with a house and a wedding on the way, I just can't afford it.

I was also thinking about plastidipping a few things. How has your experience been with the process and the durability?

 

Sorry for the double post. NAM app still buggy.

 

Fox718 it's very easy, just takes a little time. I only did the plastidip to see how things look. I'll prob peel it off in the spring and remove everything and paint. I love the look. After looking at the pics again I think I need to change the bonnet stripes to black and maybe run em down the middle. We will see. It's all fun!

 

Yeah, black stripes down the middle would look excellent. Maybe matte to match the plastidip. Of course if you paint everything then it doesn't matter.

How does the plastidip hold up against automatic carwashes; or is it strictly hand washing now?

 

Washed twice, just stood back abit and no probs.
