im guessing it could have had the old style ones in which case it can be done as bmw even offer a conversion kit

i've personally had a 2004 mcs what did work but cannot remember what it did

Do you mean your trip computer when you say multifunction? Cos it doesn't look like you've got a multifunction steering wheel. Those are too much hassle to fit afterwards. I know 51regs don't have the trip computer which shows the speed, MPG and consumption. I'm suprised you've got the windscreen wiper spray indicator stalk but a 5 piece dash? The wiper spray indicator was added at facelift.

Cool job - I modded my MINI One heavily too. I know what the bug feels like. I made sure mine was a One with an obvious body kit change, big wheels and sports seats rather than a complete replica but the extent you've gone is very impressive!

Do you have before modification pics?

Good news about the wing mirrors and boot handle!

Not much more to do!

its reading - 40 becasue the temp probe aint plugged in it did it on mine last time i smashed the front bumper and had to drive round for a few days with no bumper and the temp probe unplugged

BMW wont do it modnmini wil though woo

I hate it though when people say that 'you could of got an s for the money' i get it all the time too. Thats not the point and i often say 'its a MINI thing you wouldent understand' Thats too easy and boring to buy one already done! much better to mod a car the fun it brings

Thanks Vikki,

they haven't a clue ! but through doing this i feel i know the car better as I did most things myself, Personally I got less tan 5000 pounds in it so if theres any cooper s for sale under 5k let me know (a straight one) I'll buy it myself

I have had a heated debate with a woman in one dealership whether mine is a One or a Cooper so I doubt it!
