New EBC Reds up front. Also added the Ian Cull module.

 

Well, yesterday I took mine to my Mini dealer to get my license plates, one whole day before the temporary expired. Came in with less than a quarter tank and got a fill-up out of them. Also asked when they think there will be a fix for the JCW boot badge issue (coming off on the right edge due to a straight badge on a curved boot; just dumb) on the F56. No answer yet, naturally. Also figured out a fix for the 2 lower attachment points on my rear window shade (the design used a light adhesive that will continually pull away and get less and less sticky over time; fixed it with a little Velcro, which seems to do the trick).

 

Gave it a quick wash before British Car Night so I could drive it through the pop up storm in order to get there.

Good times.

 

Washed and waxed. Replaced my scoop finally as one of the clips had broken off inside. Treated all the plastic fender arches to a coat of Renew Protect. We'll see how the non-plastic trim on the aero kit reacts to the Renew Protect.

 

Washed the MINI Scooter for C&C, a club brunch and the last Hurrah drive in Scooter.

The Countryman is on the boat, so time for some Mountain time in Scooter before he goes to the next enthusiast.

First up on my 16 CM, a NM rear sway. And take off those damn devil stripes that MINI loves so much.

One down.... More to come...

 

Managed to find some centre caps for my alloys, but gonna have to wait until pay day, and that's if they haven't gone by then!

 

Gave the Clubman a much overdue claying and waxing.

 

Were the drives on the course as great as the drive to the course?

 

Nice! Wait, looks like you've got a JCW already. I thought they already had R56 brakes up front.

My R56 calipers should be here tomorrow. Got CarboTech pads all the way around - will install this weekend. Same as you - need paint.

 

Looks great.

Where did you find the spoiler?

Not a lot of info on their website regarding colors available if any, or installation, etc. Just a picture and a price.

Took Bertie to the fuel station for a 93 fill up. Then, stopped by the grocery to get Herself some more orange juice. It's senior discount day, or Park Avenue day as I call it. Amazed at how many old coots keep those thing on the road. Of course, when you never drive them over 23 mph, there's not much wear and tear. (Except for the turn signal bulbs that are constantly blinking.)

 

The part they are talking about "The JSart"

Interesting how a "want" disappeared from the market and was picked up by someone else that is running with it now...

 

Colors are ALWAYS available.... [emoji12]

 

I contacted LEAP via Facebook but you can also contact him through IG. Louis has been a great vendor and gave me updates on my spoiler. I got the first run and then when he came out with this one with the cut out in the center section, he let me know he had to repaint because he wasn't happy with the results with a painter he had used. They also used UPS so the shipping was quicker. He also included additional 3M tape for when I resell my first one that i took off.

 

Yes, they are a fairly new company. I've ordered mine by just contacting him through FB. Kinda scary at first because they haven't been established yet but I gave it a try on my first order with their first design. He kept me informed through the whole process. Even sent photos of it being boxed and shippped with tracking #. Then he came out with the one I have now which gives it a little more aggressive look I wasn't worried from ordering from him again. He's supposed to be coming out with a new scoop that I'm interested in but still in development.

Correct I have the JCW package, but it's not a JCW from the factory so minus the JCW suspension, brakes, and LSD. I am the second owner. Original owner had dealer install everything else, heads, supercharger, intake, exhaust.

How do you like those CarboTech pads? dust much? I have EBC Reds currently but trying to figure out what to use when I upgrade the brakes.
