I see a hood scoop and I want to paint it bla-ack
No colours any more I want them to turn bla-ack

 

Had the winter tread taken off, and rotated the other tires. Roll on springtime!

 

 

Got the new registration tag and put it on.

 

I discovered that with my phone plugged in to the AUX input that it will act as a bluetooth replacement.

Phone audio comes out over speakers and my voice is picked up perfectly.

Nice trick!

 

I had an older gentleman in a Smart car wave at me very energetically as I pulled out of my driveway the other day. I suppose he thought we were in the 'small car club' or something.

Uh.......no. Just like another post where a Kia Soul owner thought that her car was a cousin to Mini Coopers.

 

I received Cooper S rubber boot mat and CravenSpeed Dipstick.

I already have MINI official boot/cargo area cover, but there are velcro'd openings at the lowest point of the cover, which is the boot area, for some mysterious reason. To me that kind of defeats the purpose of the cover as liquid could drain from there into the actual boot. I'm hoping this rubber mat can act as "the last line of defense" when I take her to scuba diving trips pretty much every other weekend. Wet gear is boxed, but could drain from tank/weights or box might break one day. I'm it's a real fun to clean salty water off of boot area.


Ease of use and legibility of CravenSpeed dipstick compared to 2011 stock stick are really night and day. I really wish MINI came with these to begin with.

 

Hey, I wave at Fiat 500s as well as MINIs and Minis.

Little cars need to stick together, with these moron truck drivers trying to run us over!

Bought some touch up paint for rock chips.

Sent from my iPhone using NAMotoring

 

Oil change, new wipers front and rear, no charge. Tire rotation and fuel injection service, paid out of pocket.

 

I paid it off.

Sadly, no victory lap until my broken foot heals completely.

 

Say, what part# or vendor is that?

 

Wow congrats!!! I hope your foot heals quickly!

 

recently picked up some performance enhancers.....for the JCW pics will be up soon!

 

Put on new summer tires yesterday "Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500" 205-50-16's Look nice

 

It is MINI/BMW genuine accessory, part# 51470418666.

I had some Amazon reward points so I got from them, sold by AutoGoodParts fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon will honor any problem, returns etc as if they were the seller, and can use Prime free 2-day shipping.

It fits perfectly and looks very nice, perfect match with "S" rubber mats for the front/rear the dealer gave me with the car. Sadly I won't even see it much as I run cargo cover full-time (mat is sitting below it) but It's nice to know it's there.

 

Congrats! I remember it was quite exciting when I paid off mine in Feb.

My victory lap was getting her the tuning kit and other JCW bits, and new wheels.

 

Its a very nice rear mat and helps keep the back truck carpet clean.

I finally installed my JCW Challenge Wing..... Not bad, only been in the closet since last summer.

 

That didn't take long!

 

Received these "maintenance items" for a relaxing Saturday with the R53. Yep, that's what they are, "maintenance items". Cars need to be maintained in order to run properly.

Konis / JCW springs / camberplates / rear rotors / hatch struts / ebrake cables / RE-11A's / lower engine mount...
