General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
Tinted the side corner markers in front and back. The only thing left to have a completely black-out Mini is the Joey-mod. I'm still trying to find out if performing the joey-mod will decrease the lighting efficiency of my projectors...
Only spray the clear bit in the middle and you will be fine.
No, don't do that.
I got my car back from the glass shop now only 4/6 windows are OEM glass . (The other is the chip-prone windshield.) Now I'll just have to get my windows retinted, the last owner just had "eyebrows" all the way around. I'm gonna go as dark as legal, 25% fronts 5% rear.
Finally got the new WMW pulley, belt and tensioner install done ( with a new bearing seal for the SC snout ) on my '05 MCS and got to go bed in the new front rotors and pads....Wow...you can really feel the difference the pulley makes!
I'm liking these Akebono pads too, great pedal feel and hopefully less visible dust.
The Mini grin is back, and I have to say that although it was an adventure, I'm glad I did it myself.Next weekend , the rear rotors and pads and then it's off to put some wear on the tires..
I only ask because the stocke housing looks like it has reflective properties that could be diminished if they are blacked out...
Yeah, since it is a projector type lamp, only the light and projector is needed to keep full visibility. Everything else is bling. If it were a reflector type light you would be right, but all the light you see comes out of the projector lens.
The Clubman got new shoes,( Hankook evos ) 2000 miles on the RFTs was long enough. Also ordered a spare tire kit from Detroit tuned and will pick up at the MOTD.
decided to paint the chrome grill surrounding today... finally decided on just to go black... still debating on the head light rings... thats still drying so i will post pictures of that later... but wanted to show you my new e-break i got from a member on here! i think it looks awesome!

Did a little motoring under cloudy skies... The Kid wanted to pose with those budding swamp maples. How could I say no?
I miss maple trees. We had one in the front yard at my parents' house near Lakehurst when I was a kid. It's still there. Maybe next time I'm back there, I'll be lucky enough to be there at the right time to scoop up a handful of seeds and bring 'em to AZ and see how much water it takes to make one grow in my yard here.
