Well, I've decided that other than getting new wheels when I get back to the States I'm not gonna do to much more to the exterior of my Mini. I want to start fixing up the engine bay, but I'm not sure where to start. Show me what you've done. Chrome bits, colored wires/hoses, anything you've done.

I prefer the stock look, but keeping everything very clean.

Ariercetinberk, I've got the Alta CAI sitting in a box waiting for me to get home and install it. I'm also want to replace the hose with a red silicone one. Then replace the plug wires with red ones. I'd like to have a red/black/chrome color scheme going on.....maybe top it off with a set of red eyes like riderbill's. I think it all looks ok stock, but I need something to do with my money.

Hmmm, sounds like quite a problem. I'll tell ya what, I'm a nice guy, and willing to help, so if you'd like, we could split the money you have, and between the 2 of us, spending your money should be much easier. Now I know, most people don't like charity, but I'm willing to help, no strings attached, with this little issue you have.

Steeroidz, I truely appreciate your offer, and I'll keep you in mind if I can't figure out a way to get rid of it. Seriously, I just want to do as much as I can now, before I get back to the States. I'm selling my Explorer before I leave Germany and I'm getting either a new Tacoma or F150....once that happens all the money's going to that.

Is that an Alta silicone intake tube attached to a JCW intake? Nice work, I may have to think about that...

SC cover.

I like the look of Morris9982 Sc cover the best. Wear did you get it? I'm not to sure of the alta one. looks kinda cheap. I understand what it does, but if it wear colored maybe i would like it more. RiderBill nice eyes.
