MINI2

avi81n · Mar 18th, 2005, 02:15 AM

Well we finally did it.

Just installed my shiny new UK Flag mirror covers.

Took me 15minutes, and thanks to the miserable Brissie weather today I didn't even break a sweat

Here are some photos - a very straightforward exercise - also a link to a useful article on minimania if you want to do it yourself - http://new.minimania.com/images/inst...1210_INSTR.pdf

By the way - I bought my mirrors from BMW here in Aus: $220 incl GST. It wouldn't have been any cheaper getting them o/s (maybe cheaper in the US but for some reason they say the LHD mirrors are different to RHD

anybody know why?)

I missed the day at Southbank on Sunday (Work!!

), but Elisa made it with the Min and took some great photos

Speaking of which, if anybody knows where the owner of the black Cooper (rego 894HDZ) with silver bonnet and side graphics sourced them from I'd love to know. Thanks

Also, looking for someone in Brisbane to do a "go fast" exhaust for me. I know Remus have a pre-made system but I'm looking at options. Help! This has probably been covered somewhere in another thread but I haven't been following too closely lately

See you all soon hopefully

Hi Karl, good to see your Mini is going well and has recovered from the Stanthorpe run...
Oxy has the black Mini with silver stripes. Oxy is on MINI2 , you can PM him have a look on the Byron Bay run thread and click on his name to PM him

Cheers
Brett

yess...chrome = lovely....

I'd put a flag or something on my roof if I could think of something I'd want to put on my car...

....this is for exactly the same reason I'll never get a tattoo....

Nice mirror caps by the way Carl!!

Yesterday was extra bonus

Not only did I fit my chrome mirror covers (how easy is that!)

But I also recieved my OEM aux light covers, love them, thanks for the info on those Scotty: you didn't tell me the best part, they have a big MINI written across the front of each

avi81n · Mar 21st, 2005, 02:09 AM

Thanks for the info Brett, unfortunately it wasn't him (Oxygen from the Gold Coast right

)

If anybody else knows who the owner might be - refer to the first post this thread - let me know.

Cheers

p.s. meinamini, told you it was easy
