What have you done to your Mini today ?

[steve-5snwi]

Lets have a thread about our Minis and what we have done to them ....

So toady on the F57
I fitted a set of mudflaps to the rear
Replaced the rear brake pads,
Cleaned the rear wheels and gave them a coat of Gtechniq C5
Painted the rear hubs matt silver and the calipers Silver grey (match the interior)

[mon the fish]

Connected the trickle charger to the R53 because I've left in sitting in the garage too long

Finished machine polishing the R56, it's not perfect but it is a lot better

[E-bmw]

Bought some sheet ally for a job this next week.

[steve-5snwi]

Purchased some more cleaning bits and more importantly for when the sun finally comes out, a wind deflector.

Yesterday I had the bulb warning light come on on the dash. Had a look round and noticed a sidelight off so ordered new bulbs off Ebay. This morning the warning light has gone and the sidelight is back working again so I'm gutted that I might have wasted £2.85 ;-)

Currently at lohen having some work done... And fighting the temptation to spend more than planned lol

[steve-5snwi]

The Clubman is back on its summer wheel - when it decides to show up,

The Convertible had its first service and a recall on the roof.

Over the past week I've fitted UJ rear lights & (with the help of Dr Interceptor) cleared the rear brake lights error codes. Fitted black front & rear light surrounds and black grill surround.

R56? Had both rear bulb holders fail on mine, intermittent bulb out messages, tracks failed, common apparently.

I just looked up what bimmercode is and just ordered a Vgate OBD adapter off amazon!
What a great thing! Can't wait to program some neat little tricks. (I On my old Lupo GTI I had to plug in an ancient windows laptop to program some things like auto lock)
Is the JCW active sound only on in sport mode? It would be great to have a quiet system in normal mode and the fake JCW sound in sports mode.
Also what tuning box do you have?
And does the ITG add some more induction noise?

Yes its only active in Sport mode.

Its a BlueSpark single point box. Its one i had on my Volvo T5 and got it reprogrammed by Bluespark.

If i hadnt one already, i'd be going for a Racechip GTS multipoint box which takes it to 246BHP

RE: The ITG, no not as much as you might expect (or as much as it did on our Clio 200) but noticable and probably worthwhile with the increased power.

Today just the facelift black grill surround
Before


And after finally now all chrome is black hurrah

[cerb4.5lee]

Excellent ^^^

I really don't like any of the chrome on mine and I need all mine doing for sure.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

The chrome didn't work for me since I have the black roof. Just need to get a genuine black filler now rather than my wrapped effort

[Clubman270]

Finally managed to get my LED rear lights fitted, needed a fair bit of fettling with different connectors & relays, but luckily a good friend is an electrical whizz .

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Be proud I washed it
