Nothing, and possibly everything.
I don't think any of the mentioned items will void the entire warrantee, but any of the items could void certain failures. If they can show that it was likely caused by the modification.
Lowering will change the angle of the drive shafts. While it is designed to be compressed, under load much further than a few cm, could changing the default angle alter the life span of the u-joints?
Spoiler? Other than a bad mount causing leakage, mildew damage, and or rust, I really can't see any problems.
Given the number of dealers that want to force after market Alloys on the new MINI, you'd think they'd be a safe bet. But if you don't get the correct offset, you could put extra stress on the front suspension. Going with too large of a tire/rim could rub or collide with suspension and body parts diminishing their life span.
A bad ice install could damage the wiring. If they have to pull panels, and you develop a squeak, it's no longer MINI's fault. Whose fault is it if someone's base rattles things loose? |
