Yes, measure up the JCW to the old pipe. Cut at the old point mid section on the new pipe. Then clamp/

Is there a video on this install? Also is there any mud flaps available and can you swap out the stock speed gage to the new black ones or possibly the navigation system ones?

How does the chemical guys interior cleaner smell? It sounds like a great product and would like to get it if it's worth it.





if you have real leather, not leatherette. Then this stuff: Pure Leather Conditioner

So it's been a snowy last few days been driving the R58 in the snow a bit, definitely needs a good car wash now, which Is where the question comes in. Can you take these R58 in automatic car wash places? Brushless of course but I don't know if the water jet stream is to rough for underneath the car? I just know underneath the car needs a good wash just don't want to damage anything under there. My First mini so just wanna make sure.

I would not unless its touch-less of course , the brushes catch the top wing and will possible catch the back wing if its up. For the underbody its ok, just knock some of the salt off. Also try to find one with a wheel guide or trigger if you have to use the autowash. I dont like them either but i guess when you dont have another choice.

One other thing, most MINI dealership do free car washes and you can make an appointment or drop it off and wait 30mins -1 hr. Some even have laser drive through car washes that are free. Check that out first.

Only thing I worry about is water getting in on side by Windows in auto car wash with the high pressure jets up close

Mine does not leak at all around there. Even with a direct spray from the hose. Test it with a direct spray on the hose first. If it does leak, take it to MINI and they can adjust the window and check the seals under warranty.
