Finally after a long winter of collecting parts I installed them. DBA-4000 rotors all the way around, EBC Red Stuff all the way around, new brake wear sensors, flushed the old brake fluid out with new and an oil and filter change. Just shy of 7000 miles on the old oil and a sample goes to Blackstone Labs first thing Monday. The oil to be sent off was MY first oil change in my new used 08 clubman bought last July. The results of that sample will give me a good idea of how long I should go between oil changes.
^^^ I have the same rotors - they're working out nicely.
I did drive mine like I stole it today. Dry run for MTTP 5 with some of my MINI peeps. What a great day to motor!
Coke or Pepsi?
I wanted to set up a shot like this all day since we're opposites and really just winged it when we pulled into this gas station. Didn't notice the vending machines until I started shooting.

Went for a cruise with a local vw group today. The roads got twisty, I got happy, they got slow, i got un-happy, when safety permitted I passed them and became happy again.
I got sick of the red and orange side reflectors. So I decided to Smoke Plasti Dip them. Came out great! I did this after a hand washed my car today(didn't wax because my bumper was hit a while ago, waiting another month or so. I did get it fixed for those curious about it).
I adjusted the windshield washer fluid sprayer nozzles on my countryman. Did you know they were adjustable? They are on a ball type swivel. I plasti dipped my gas filler cover and unsuccessfully tried to program my garage door opener to the mirror dealy bob.

Looks pretty good! How much light output, or lack thereof, is there now? I want to tint mine, but I'm debating on using the tint film or plasti-dip.
I'm trying to remember how I did mine. Try rolling the window down and then rolling it back up. On the way up (once it's fully closed), press and hold the switch for maybe 10 seconds longer. I know those are the steps that I used and it worked. Just don't remember the length of time. It was the same on my Infiniti.

I like!!! I have the plasti-dip in black. I'll try that and do a few coats, but keep it light to provide maybe 50-75% coverage.
Thanks
Thanks! Yeah I was gonna do the black dip but I liked the smoke dip cause it matches my license plate tint cover. Good luck, post pictures of it after!
