What did you do to your mini today?

I sprayed the Rustoleum Grabber Green paint into a little container, and used a brush to paint the S green.
For the scoop, I primed it, and then sprayed it with the color-matched dark silver spray paint I have.
Lastly, added two coats of Rustoleum Clear Lacquer on top.

Doesn't look bad. That is actually a good idea. I guess i would have expected they would be different widths for the bars. Good thinkin'

The Baby Scoop was designed to take air from the front of the car and channel it under the M7 DFIC. This helps to bring in cool air over the top of the engine block. Anyone who's opened the hood after driving the car can tell you that this area gets pretty hot. Cooler air is constantly running through the front grilles, but with the Baby Scoop installed, the air is focused to sweep away hot air coming from the engine block (hot air that would otherwise make your intercooler's job very difficult).

LOL! I'm right there with you! But hubby taught me how to change my oil already on my last car
I replaced the stock amber side markers with clear ones Monday, and he was in the garage snappin' pics of me on his phone cuz he was just so impressed with how I was able to snap off the scuttles and do it myself! He was also proud of the fact that I put on my own rear badge myself lol
Yes, I am proud of myself though
On another note, I just ordered Indi some of those roof rack mounting hole covers, seeing as the previous owner only had 1, and it was yellowed :/

It gave me the courage to do it myself to Little Wing's side scuttles.
I did break a clip somehow on one scuttle, but it is snapped in tight without it. It's all good.
I also got silver engine paint from Auto Zone and painted my amber lights instead of buying new ones.
It worked great!
DH thinks it's hilarious and has started calling me "motor-head."
He's happy with the job I did restoring an oxidized headlight on his Avalon though.
Sure beats doing the dishes.
Now I'm trying to get up the nerve to take the yolk out of Little Wing's headlights...

It's EASY PEASY!! There's a thread on it here on the forum. I did Winnie's and it took only a few minutes. I ordered the Stealth bulbs from Bavarian Autosport, I **think* they are 1176. They would know. Then you just remove the whole headlight assembly (four screws), carefully pull it forward, pop the plug in part out of the back, unscrew the bulb, reach in with your hand through the long tube in the headlight and pop that amber lens out, (it just pops right out with two little clips, no problem) sort of roll it around until it slides under the tube and out the back, put in the new bulb, and screw the headlight assembly back on. Find that thread and go for it!!

Took Bernie to Kensington Motor Cars today. She was leaking a clear, oily fluid. It was clear on the floor of the garage. I checked fluid levels, and found power steering fluid was low. I couldn't see where the fluid came from, but found some wet spots towards the back, of the engine bay. Didn't see any spray or residue anywhere in the engine bay. Hopefully it won't be another BIG repair! Had a feeling that the HOT desert weather would cause some problems!
