How long did it take to complete the job ? I have one to do.

Take your time and keep bits you remove safe. Should take about two and a half hours.

Two weeks of not being used and the battery is flat. No surprise. Cheap crap found at the back of the workshop and fitted by the seller. New one ordered.

Spent this afternoon in the sunshine de-stickering my roof.

Ready to fit. Nasty screws that join to the rear arch liners have been removed. Job for Easter, as there is bugger all else to do.

Original skirts removed. Looking very clean and rust free underneath!

 

[NigelStap]

Aero skirts fitted and looking peachy. Very happy with my work!

Then my new wheels arrived. Happy birthday to me.

Cracking work matey. Particularly liking the wheels

I finally got sround to fitting the new rear discs and pads today. Only problem was I had ordered pads from a R56. They don't fit a R53.

God I'm stupid sometimes.

Fitted the discs anyway as the old pads are still 50% worn. I will fit new pads next weekend.

How to make a simple job harder!

Nee naw nee naw.....here come the spelling police......you’re nicked son.

 

[Maccmike]

LOL How did I know youd be along.

 

[NigelStap]

To save you both from each other I have changed my post to say discs.

My R56 fronts are going to have to wait. The flexi pipe joiners are stuck solid. I really don't want to break anything and cost myself a whole lot more money. Shame, as everything else had come off easily.

Wheels and R56 fronts brakes fitted today. Very pleased with the results. The changes have come thick and fast recently.

Lots of hard work, but the rewards are there for all to see, well done brother.

shame I didn’t accidentally bump in to you, I think a mini photoshoot is needed.

your mini looks absolutely awesome! Really liked reading what you’ve done to it and it looks a different car with only subtle mods!
