Hi Joe,

Woops! Forgot to check the thread. What blue thing?

PS. I just realised my photos aren't working as I shuffled around the pics into subfolders onto my photobucket account to help me navigate better. Smiley

Anyways, just when you thought it was over...

New bonnet scoop.

OEM looking gauges for oil temperature and boost!

Last item on the list is the chargecooler which has to ship from the UK. Once that is in, then seriously..... I AM DONE Smiley

Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

Those pic's are "moved or deleted" so I can't really describe it. It looked almost like a light bar for a florescent light or something. Any, the car looks great, those gauges are pretty slick.

Mike, I'm really impressed but at the same time, I'm also quite disappointed that you haven't picked up or even "visited" your Lambo. Shame on you.

Yeah Joe, I moved them into subfolders so I can find photos easier. It was a mess.

I can't edit the original post to put in the new links Smiley

Thanks Pentium!

I posted some driveway shots in this thread.

Thanks for the update! The Charge cooler work looks very need. How is the performance? I like the BBS, are those 17 or even 18 inch?

Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

Hi Lars,

Thanks, it does look good doesn't it The inlet temperatures are way down, even without the water/meth. I haven't tried it with the water/meth yet, but the car is runnig really good! The BBS are 17 inch.

Of course TEE, I hope to have everything completed in about 2-3 weeks from now. I'm going on vacation to St Tropez this weekend for 10 days and when I get back all my parts should have arrived for final assembly!

I'll do that as soon as it's 100% finished Enmanuel

I ordered the OEM XENON headlight retrofit kit from BMW yesterday, they will install it and it should take 10 working days to arrive. Damn it was pricey!

Here are the KW V2 coilovers.

Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

Enjoy your trip to St. Tropez! Great fun there ;)

I would love to see some driving videos of the mini. Whenever you have time, use your HD action cam ;)

cheers!

btw - Xenon is a must (lookwise!)
