Hi everyone new to the board just thought I'd share some mods and progress on my very own mini.


Photos of when I first got it

 

Got me some new grilles and foggies


Stayed up till 4 in the morning installing these bad boys. Nown I gotta save up for some projector hid headlights

 

Nice ride.

Did you use existing driving light brackets/wiring for the PIAA's? If so, how did you connect the wires?

 

I got the mini cooper bracket for the fog lights and I just used the wiring and switch that came with the piaa

 

Thanks. I've been thinking of replacing my factory fitted driving lights with PIAA 510's, but I don't want to splice the wires just in case I want to refit the originals.

 

New shift **** and arm rest from the r56.

 

Anyone in socal wanna help me install this?

 

Welcome, check our site out as we could have saved you on your pulley since your on a budget build. MINI looks pretty clean otherwise.

 

Pulley only cost me 50 bucks shipped

 

PIAA, nice! We sell those. Looking good so far! Always been partial to that color. Maybe because that's the color of the first MINI I drove way back when.

 

That makes two of us. I had a lease back in 04. Notice the cars are cheap now so I got this one as my DD

 

Nice mods. Your arm and hand got and upgrade.

 

And my cups hahaha

 

That too

 

Guess what ill be doing this weekend

 

^ What company makes those studs?

 

I got it from a local shop called eurospeedz. They specialize in high end European cars

 

We have the H&R versions here , what size spacers are you going to ? looks like 10 or 15mm

 

Check out Otis Inc HERE to see if they have something. They make quality stuff. We used them at the euro shop I worked at.

 

Before





After. The chrome is so ugly time for some new wheels

 

The chrome S lite wheels were a thing in the 2002-2006 days, lots of chrome options back in the day. Where those factory chrome ? 36116778962

If so someone will want those, i would put them up in the marketplace.

 

Ever think of doing plasti dip or powdercoating them?

 

What he said, those aren't a common wheel.

 

+ 1 Exactly, the chrome factory slites where very rare. Someone will want them that has them or want a throw back style. I would sell them and get another style if you want.

 

How much can I post them for? All tires are 90% tread left
