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

 

The Mr. Bean head shot is perfect haha!

 

turned my headlight toggle into a horn FML

 

Uh ohh!!

 

yeah going to the dealer tomorrow and acting like it just randomly happened

 

How did you end up doing that?

 

idk i guess i accidentally hit something when i was installing my intercooler

 

Well that is certainly odd.

 

Really odd.. im gonna take a video of it for ***** and giggles

 

Please do! I am curious to see and err... hear this!

 

Now thats funny, I thought you where going to say you messed up using NCS EXPERT there for a second.

Now I just want to see the vid.

 

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this Mini! hope to see it in person someday!!

 

Ok If you guys go to my sig and click pics I just uploaded the vid.. Tell me how rediculous that is lol

 

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.

 

OMG.....how did that happen?? That's like trying to turn on your radio and the windshield wipers come on...is your Mimi possessed?! That is wild

 

I'm sorry, Achilles, I am laughing so hard....please let us know what the dealer says...can't stop laughing....sooo sorry...

 

Do your headlights come on when you honk the horn??!! I'm sorry, I really am..

 

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.

 

I ordered a set of new Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels in Satin Black.

Jim

 

Achilles, glad you found the problem and for making my day!!!

 

Nice choice. Going on the EB MINI in your sig?

 

Yep!
Along with a satin black vinyl wrap on the roof and mirrors.

Jim

 

I was hoping you where going to change the roof color aswell. It shuld look great, I havn't seen many EB/B MINI's but the ones I have seen look sweet.

What size wheels and tires BTW?
