Cleaned up monster today

Weather was beautiful out today again so I decided to clean the car , I wash it weekly but haven't gotten to the inside for sometime.
the car has 200k miles but was a Cali car up until about 8 months ago when I aquired it. Now it resides in Wisconsin but atleast it lives in a garage.
My mods are : 15% pulley , light weight crank , Cai and modified cowl , custom diverter , larger intercooler and Alta couplers , jcw Injectors , header and wrapped with no cat and pacesetter exhaust , throttle controller , coilpack and msd wires, oil catch cans , lsd diff and 15x7 rpf1's with 205/60r15 blizzaks and I will have a tune very very soon..
Just yesterday I wired in the ricer afr gauge just because I had it laying around as well as installed an auxiliary cord and took time hiding all the wires very well and mounting the throttle controller. Awhile ago I put in the boost gauge and the x60 multi gauge which I LOVE . I also painted the trims red and brake calipers not because racecar but it's my favorite color and I think red n silver look great together . I also out on the stickers because , why not ??? Lol.. well, I'm glad my 04 modded s55 got whacked up because I'm loving my mini and this community is great also...thx for welcoming me guys ! Here's a few pics .

I didn't apply the trim restore as it's winter still..

Headlight could use a Polish soon



I wish I could find affordable seats or aftermarkets but no airbag light

Do all 04 mini's have this under shelf ? Every pic I see on the net they dont...

What's the thing that looks like a quad LED array on the rear bumper?

Dig the stickers, especially 'Boost Loading.' Very cool.

+1 Was wondering about that quad LED on the rear, and it looks like you did something with the factory rear facing 'fog light?' Could you talk about what you did, and how well the whole set up works for you? I was thinking about doing something like this too - the factory one (red in my case) is absolutely useless for seeing anything back there in the dark.

It is a hella bright back up light and I love it.it was there when I bought the car
I can go out and look at it. But I'm pretty sure it just wired into the old backup light .
