I love my MINI mud flaps. They have certainly helped with dirt and flying road debris. They were very easy to install.

Oh crap I forgot... to add to the true WRC look you need either bronze wheels or OZs.

I have OZs. In For the Win!

I made the brackets myself. I have some pictures, but I'm really dim when it comes to trying to figure out how to post them . I can try again if you're interested, but please don't hope too much, I just need help, and am amazed I can even post (MCI- Major Computer Illiterate)

I have Sparco Pista rims on mine and they're definitely rally-esque. Designed by OZ but a bit easier on the wallet

That is a big 10-4. But at the moment I am running stock to finish up the RFs before putting my new tires on.

I hear that on price. I got my wife to place the order on ours.

She said I was putting her in the poor house, but she couldn't wait to see them on the car

I'm lovin' everything about this thread...

Minus the mud flaps. I'd be scraping them all the time (low!) and I'd have to get them painted to match my trim, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Driving lights are one of my next mods.

OK, I have this figured out for the moment.
These are the brackets I made for my lamps.
They are made from .093 thick by 1 inch wide brass.
This is the driving lamp bracket,




rear of bracket



these are the fog lamp brackets,










Hope this gives an idea of what I did. I have them wired to
individual relays and switches, and they work independantly
of the headlamps.

I might have this picture thing figured out .

Nice! Get some ceramic pads now becuase you will be cleaning those wheels all the time. Not saying that even with the ceramic you won't be cleaning them all the time. I eneded up powdercoating mine white to match the roof color better. That and I curbed 2 of them and used a little to harsh of a clear on them and it started to screw the paint up.

I am running EBC redstuff with Powerslot slotted rotors. They grab really well but, its been so long since I have had the stock brakes that I really don't remember what they felt like.

Do the wear sensors work on both front and rear?

Sweet, I heard that for awhile the rear aftermarket pads didn't work with the sensors.

Can't wait to see some pics with it on your MINI, I'm very intrigued by the rally armor look
