What mods have you done this week?

Bhozar · 04-08-08, 22:25

So what mods have you done in the last week? Thought it time someone started one of these, so tell everyone what you have been doing to your MINI this week. Anything counts, little or large.

Myself, I just finished fitting an auto-dimming mirror to my 03 MCS. It originally came from a cab, so had facelift wiring and funky bracket, so its taken me the best part of 3 hours to modify it to fit, and get the wires done. It was well worth the effort.

Well, not really a mod as such but today I had two new tyres and the week before I had two new ones - so £440 later my car is sporting new boots all round.

I've had two bloody punctures in the space of 14 days - nightmare!

I have just spent the last hour & a half taking the front off my car including the plastic grill on the bonnet to work out how much room I have for this pipe work for the front mount intercooler I'm designing!!! could be tricking, but should still fit..................I hope!

Sounds interesting Graham - how far into the design process are you, or is it just preliminary work at the moment?

I fitted the NMS Parrot bluetooth kit with MSFW integration, I also finally got round to fixing the anoying buzz from the doors/speakers.

The intercooler design is finished, I know how I'm running the pipe work, but just wanted to check. Had to take the front off my car anyway to be honest to take my pre-rad off, so while I was at it took the opportunity to get my tape measure out!
