What did you do to your mini today?
I just reduce the insurance to comprehensive only for the duration of the storage. but I don't have to turn in the plates.
It only costs about $10 and has paid off in the past when a tree fell on my garage and damaged the top of my MG. I did the repairs myself and there was enough money left over for a new carpet kit.

Mini is one of the most difficult cars to warp due to the sharp compound angle bends and all the complex features. So you have to do all the cuts by hand? I cannot tell from the photos as there is no closeup photos to gauge the end result. It take a lot of courage and commitment.
I want to wrap the front end of my Porsche GT4 myself instead of paying someone thousands of dollars. Your post boost my confidence.
The roof, hood, sides and tailgate were not bad. My wife helped with the "triangle" method. The JCW wing, bumper, and rear valance were challenging. Use the repair manual on NA motoring for trim removal. When I do it again (couple of years) I will piece these sections more. The front and rear bumpers disassemble/reassemble pretty easily.

This weekend I did an oil change, a cabin filter change and replaced (2) lightbulbs. One of them was for the rear License Plate and the other was for the Driver-Side Fog Lamp in the bumper on a 2010 HT. After being told by the dealership replacing the bulb requires the removal of the front bumper I decided to inspect this for myself. Imagine my surprise and reief when I discovered there is a 6" cover on the inside of the front wheel well. If you turn it counter-clockwise a 1/4 turn it pops out. By turning the front wheel in on that side I was able to squeeze my hand through the hole, replace the 5W bulb I paid $10 for at the dealership, put it all back together all within 5 minutes.
Lesson learned here again is, not to always believe what the dealership tells you!
Happy Motoring!
