Hey people it's been fun Sir Cedric I has been traded in for an '05 Chili Red MCS with the John Cooper Works package.

I respectfully surrender my DSOC #362 so someone else can have it.

Long Live Sir Cedric the 1st.



Hail, Hail Sir Cedric the 2nd.

Grilles in!

LOOKING NICE..JUST PICKED UP THOSE WHEELS TODAY..IM NEW HERE..hated my s lites real weak especially in nj roads ...was thinking or powdercoating the r90s or painting..any examples

Where can I find this lip for the front bumper?

Just ordered Tein S-Techs!

Before Pic:

Not finished... But getting there!

(How'd I get one of this "Dark Silver Club" logos for my tag line?)

So I just bought an '08 R56S DS/DS with Chrome inside and out. And I see the cool badges....I want a badge!

I don't remember posting in this thread about the best color for a Mini, so I'll do it anyway.

Not a lot done to the exterior right now, Aero front grills, base Cooper side scuttles and gas cap/mechanism, black beltine kit and rear wiper delete.

Count me in! I just picked up this '03 JCW with 44,000 miles. Really excited about it. It's just the car I wanted.

hello from los angeles!

picked her up yesterday

and

here is a few

Joined the club yesterday... :D

...then had to tow her home today. :( (PTO gears failed, she's awaiting a new blower)

Never mind, wrong thread!

Been there, replaced that . . . . too. Going to do that work yourself? It's not that hard really. Best of luck.

Yeah... it seems very straight-forward. Service mode doesn't really intimidate me, as I've recently converted from the VW/Audi world and those things go into service mode for everything. LOL

After you put it in service mode, the job looks quite simple. Everything is easily accessible.

Just waiting on parts...

Hoping to have her back on the road before next weekend (that's my goal)...

If you're interested, I posted some pics at photobucket in an album called "SC Replacement" under the username "ToBFree_MINI". Not a complete part by part recap, but a few to see inside before you have to find your way. I started on a Friday afternoon with all parts in hand, was back together and running on Sunday. I also had to drill out a strut bolt I discovered broken and did a couple other upgrades while I was in there.

So much easier with the MFE removed. Ill be doing the SC on my dark silver cooper s this coming week.

Patiently waiting on the UPS guy...

Has anyone seen a dark silver with color matched wheels. Trying to get some ideas and want to see how it would look.

I happened to be drooling over this one last night... lol
