Thanks bro, are they easy to fit are they?

[danksy]

By the way ur car is mint !!

[logan_manc]

Yeah mate really easy to fit and nice one , had afew niggles with the car but for £3500 im not gonna grumble . would've preferred indi blue but you cant have everything haha

[danksy]

U ever had any problem with the dsc light not coming on or the electric mirrors not both folding in?

[logan_manc]

No problems like that mate , i've just replaced the drive belt the fan for the power steering pump and abs sensor.
Dont reckon i'll get any problems with my mirrors 'cause theyre not electric folding just the glass mirror glass that's electric .
I thought the light at the end of my dsc switch wasn't working but i was just holding the switch down for to long

[danksy]

The light works but u can only barely see it when its pitch black. Never see it in the daylight

[logan_manc]

If its turned off then you'll get a symbol on either your speedo or rev counter dial mate

[danksy]

Yeh thats the one that barely is visable. Only in the dark. Not sure if its a bulb, fuse or wire problem

[logan_manc]

probably just something minor mate i wouldnt worry too much , have a nosey on here and see if anyones had the same problem

[danksy]

just put my name down for a Dave.F airbox over at minitorque so that'll be my 1st mod. Then to decide whether to get rid of any of the chrome or not, may just do the front grille and keep the chrome surround.

Quick question guys, is my car actually indi blue or hyper blue? build date 2004. Hearing different options over on other forums

Indi Blue was replaced by Hyper Blue effective with the "facelift" (July 2004).

Since your MINI is a "facelift" model it is Hyper Blue.

Been reading up on the net and its kind of worried me about getting an air filter now. So many people are saying they are bad for your engine as they as let too many large particles in. Also they are a pain to maintain and get the cone correctly oiled etc. Most are saying stick to paper filters... Can anyone here give me some advice. This has scared me off abit. Thanks
