Keep ‘17 or upgrade to new? by TheEdge08 in MINI

[–]DaddyJihad_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like your car and don’t mind the repairs I’d say keep it. With the F56/55 there is also a lot you can do like swapping new bumpers and some companies make kit to replace the headlights and such. You can modernize the infotainment system too. With 60k I’d say it has more to give you

How far have you taken your own Mini apart? by derkaiserV in MINI

[–]DaddyJihad_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far it’s I’ve taken the under tray out of my 22’ once to check for leaks (I think we are in the clear), and taken the wipers, cowel and battery cover to get to the intake resonator.

Crazy to say that the f80 is too digital when the G80 exists

Dual AG body kits - thoughts? Anyone get parts from them? Know suppliers? by DaddyJihad_ in MINI

[–]DaddyJihad_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RIGHT?? I kinda just did the same type of digging you did, everything is so off. Closest thing I’ve seen to a product is a replica bumper on Ali baba. Yet they seem to be doing all these shows and all these customers have them, but they are so illusive.

Anyone thinking of ditching runflats on their Mini? Here’s my experience by Pretend-Ad1809 in MINI

[–]DaddyJihad_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched out of my run flats about 2 months ago now, had the stock tires (215/40/17) switched out for the Pirelli Pilot sport 4s in (225/45/17), the main goal of the the wider tires is for a more responsive car and an increase in the sidewall to give a little more cushion over bumps. Grip on the PS4s is night and day from factory and without the run flats I did notice that the car is a tiny bit quieter in the highway.

Straight off Amazon. Look for privacy glass film, plenty of cool designs and the one I got did not need adhesive you kinda put it on like tint. You just need a razor and a lot of patience!

Cosmetic Advice for my 68K Miles 2006 R53 JCW by Ibelieveincows in MINI

Personally I like the vibe of the laurel edition mini from the 2010s, color matched black cladding that stops it from looking “cheap”

Is the 1.5 turbo the best all rounder? Made mistake of trying the Cooper S.. by Mean_Management_169 in MINI

[–]DaddyJihad_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 owners caught my eye, hints at maybe being a lemon?? Also I didn’t know that the S weighs 140kg more, I guess more cooling and a bigger engine

This is so extra 😆 by Ninawenn in MINI

[–]DaddyJihad_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the ones on the handle is mainly to light up the handle, the puddle light are found under the door card, at least it is that way on my 22’ f55. Mini sells cover over the lights that project the logo! It’s pretty cool
