Finished painting the wheels which had really bad curb rash but with a lot of sanding and heavy primer they came out really good. Painted the brake calipers, wheel center caps and antenna Bean green too, also did a little more detail work to Mr Bean cartoons on car. And of course now Mr Bean can be seen in the back window riding along.
Spotted 2 people driving taking pics of the car laughing my work here is done

Purchased a gently used Blitzsafe AUX DMX V.1 interface from a fellow NAM member and installed it in my '02 MCS. Gives me an aux. interface for my iPod so now I don't have to deal with CD's. Real easy install, uses the (2) CD changer plug-in's to interface to the stock HD. Works and sounds great.
That's great. (Not really but deffinately worth a laugh.)
Did you get the horn plug mixed up with the marker light plug? That would be my guess. Do the marker lights come on when you press the horn?
Nailed it.. what happened is the marker and one of the horn wiring look exactly the same and I guess I switched them up. But if you have any friends with minis then that is a halarious joke to play on the
Some of the plugs on that loom look the same on the R53's too, but its harder to switch them up. Easy mistake and a good laugh at someone elses expence.
If you need to undo multiple wires it's always best to mark what goes where. Paint pens work wonders.
