I’m so so so so happy with them! I couldn’t find any eyelash decals that came pre-fab for the mini cooper, so I finally caved and worked with a car wrap guy who did such an amazing job with them. I’m over the moon 🥰🥰
I went to Grocery Outlet today because the Trader Joe's parking lot was out of control, and out of the dozen cars in their lovely, spacious parking lot, one was an ice blue R56! Sometimes when god closes a window...
2009 R56
I decided to delay my repair and order the ecs tuning red crossover pipe. I fought with it for an hour. Installed the thermostat housing and pipe multiple times, no matter what I did, the crossover pipe was too short to mate with the thermo housing properly.
I just happened to wonder... is it physically shorter?? Is that possible. Well, I compared it to the plastic one and it is indeed approx 5mm too short. F*%# !!
I looked it up afterwards and found a lot of people having trouble with the red version in particular.
Live and learn. Factory plastic it is ... 😞
So, I was so excited to receive my bonnet stripes and have them installed today. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when the install was revealed 😕.
Even though we checked the package from Mini, we didn’t realize the difference until they were actually on. I am not sure why the installer moved forward if and when they realized they were different. At least I was able to see what may be possible.
What are your thoughts, with or without? (I took them off)
She’s a 2003 mini and I love her ! Does anyone else think she’s still cute or should I upgrade to a newer one ? 🥹
Someone from work said this tyre looked like it needed replacing? But it was only replaced a year ago (8000 miles done since then) and it passed the MOT in February with no advisories.
Went out today and the only space free at my doctors rooms was next to another clubby! It’s so rare to see another where I live - mines the one on the right!
I'm starting to notice a small theme within the mini community.
Brought my used mini in for her first service and I'm really quite happy with how friendly and accommodating the staff at the dealership are. Nevermind the fact that my appointment is for next Monday. Super nice people!
Found this hard top in a place I like to go but is almost always full of pickups or tuners. The state recently paved the road in so that may be why others are showing up.
Hi everyone, I recently bought a manual transmission 2021 jcw f56. I have never driven manual before, so I hope to learn on this car.
One thing I noticed was that the car doesn’t seem to auto rev-matching when downshifting. As a noob I have not been giving it gas when downshifting, and the car jerks when I let off the clutch too quickly, but I though auto-rev match is supposed to take care of that. Am I missing something? Could the auto rev-match feature be programmed out by previous owners?
Also the shifter feels really sloppy (see video, shifter is in 1st gear, not neutral) compared to my partner’s GTI. Is this a MINI thing or is something worn?
Currently owner of this f60 jcw , it came with 18 inch wheels for winter tires with 205/55/18 but I saw that you can also go with 225/50/18?
I am rubbish at cars and don’t know if this is concerning… is the shake on start up normal?
