Productive day
Had the new to us 04 MCS for about a month. Had an unseasonably warm day today so I tackled a couple projects and snapped a couple quick photos. Wish I had finished in daylight, so I'll try for a couple more photos tomorrow. Anyways, I installed the aero grill today as well as putting on the new rims and tires. I found a used set of Sport Edition SE in 17x7.5 and had them powderoated flat black and they are now wearing some 215/45's. I also installed some ECS strut mount reinforcements. Turns out I had some mushrooming going on, but a little BFH work with a wood block fixed that. Anyways, here's the sneak peak.

Very nice thanks on the purchase of the ECS STP. The EB is looking very nice.
|
Looks great! I like how the center cap on the wheels matches your paint. :thumbsup:
|
BFH FTW! :thumbsup: Had the same tower issue (I didn't realize until I installed my M7 brace and plates).
I'm not a fan of black wheels, but I have to admit they really work on your car. The blue caps are a nice touch. Good job! |
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah the center caps were something I tried on the whim. THe factory caps were scuffed up, so I figured what the heck. I kind of like the little pop they give against the black. Here's a couple updated shots with the real camera in some better light.

Wow looks great in the sunset , EB has to be one of my favorite colors , in 2005 when it was last offered I wanted that color in the Convertible , but it was not offered , instead i got the Hot Orange Convertible.

The color of your MINI matches the sky/sunset colors so well. Nice capture. :thumbsup:
|
Thanks again. Have a question for our vendors. I'm in need of the panel that connects the lower front airdam to the underbody panel. Any help here would be appreciated.

I think so, but I wasn't 100% sure based on the "center" description.

Yea,
That's it, there is that #2 and then the front bumper outer lip/ spoiler. #2 51111504252 https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/51111504252/ https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...58f117a19c.jpg #1 51117130315 https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/51117130315/ https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...ad31f232c4.jpg |
Ok great, thanks. I just replaced #1 this past weekend as the very end where the wheel flare ties in was pulled through. I also installed the lower deflector/cover that goes up under the engine and realized there should be a panel in between them. It seems like a previous owner probably ran something over and removed all that stuff.....by force or other.

That's what happen , they catch a chunk of ice, dead animal, curb...etc and then the back piece comes off also. Also check that front belly pan section. Those take a beating also.

Yeah that's what I meant by lower deflector/engine cover. It was missing all that stuff. Thanks again. Probably will be placing another order soon!
