Nice modification.
Yes that's the hood insulation from the MINI Diesel. Newer hood insulation that has more coverage.

Plastic Rivet

There was other hood insulation for the MINI hood -8/2010 models.

And takes 10 of those expanding rivets.

And then the heat insulation for the intake molding.

That had to be the easiest mod I've ever done....
NM Engineering's Titanm turbo heat shield.
now I need to get a 4" NM decal for the hood there's a spot above the Alta decal that will look great.
Waiting for it to warm up before I go under to do the short shift kit and cover.

I can't remember off the top of my head exactly, somewhere around 15lbs maybe less.

For right now the Springs will be on stock shocks. The jury is still out on whether or not its a good idea to use stock shocks. While I don't disagree with the fact that aftermarket shocks would do worlds of difference, my wallet DOES. I've already spent over my allowance and I havent even gotten the car yet. Next big purchase will be to get rid of the RFT and go sporty All seasons.

I really fell in love with the look of the GP2 Diffuser.
Problem was, I have a Cooper Roadster and even though I have the Factory JCW Trim, the passenger-side muffler and single tail pipe made consideration of the diffuser quite problematic.
So there was only one thing to do. I'm guessing it might be the only R59 of its kind -- which I like.

Gary, this looks terrific, well thought out. Have you noticed any difference in performance with the exhaust upgrade? Love the look, Lil Raggi might just be getting a new diffuser soon, too.

I have been looking to ugrade the exhaust to Akrapovic but the reply from outmotoring is that it only fits the R58 and not the R59 because of the bracing issues. Anyone had the same experiece.
What other exhaust would you recommend if the Akrapovic is a no go.
Thanks.

Sorry but that is BS. I've had the Akrapovic down pipe, exhaust, delete-R for over six months on my 2013 Roadster S. I got it from Way, they had it in stock and sent it to me in two days. It's the best exhaust you could put on a roadster in my opion.
