Nice vid, I've been eyeing this kit ever since I wore out a stock set of pads and discs in one track day. Have you installed it yet? I'm not too sure about getting rid of my fog lights, which I think is why I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get it installed yet, but I do have it booked into the shop for two weeks from now.

I purchased this kit as like you, I destroyed a set of discs and pads in one track day, and this was the only kit I could find for the R53.

I personally don't use the fog lights, but then neither do most people, except to annoy other drivers in the city. This kit will apparently still work with the factory fog lights installed, albeit, it will definitely not flow as much air. For the install, I will permanently remove the fogs, plus there are lots of other secondary light solutions for the Mini.

I do have one more track day in October and will be posting a post-install and test video after I complete the day.

I am interested in your opinions in the kit after you install it, as I have been eyeing it as well. I have also been wondering how the piping would last under daily driving conditions.
