    Neat.. your execution is much nicer.. I was given the vinyl from someone.. I believe it was a mis-printed sunroof graphic and I put it on as a lark, but it turned out I really liked it.
    Only time it isnt fun is when it is wet.. then the little pinholes fill with water and you cant see thru them well.

    I guess you are right, but my car has never been in the rain. Mine is a sunroof graphic also.

    I finally got around to ordering a JCW brake kit. I have the JCW kit for the 05 model , but I like the looks of the GP2 brakes. Besides it's time I changed something.

    I haven't been on here much of late. I've been looking after my parents and trying to get them moved into a seniors care home. However, I did make time to take the Mini/MINI clubs from the Vancouver BC area to drive the Pacific Marine Circle on Vancouver Island.
    Here are some shots.

    Looks like a good event. It’s not fun having to find a home for your parents, I went through that also.

    Great photos showing a fun and scenic event with a real interesting mixture of cars. Here’s hoping everything works out well for you and your parents.

    Washed the MINI in preparation of taking a mini trip out into the country for lunch in Wooster, Ohio...
    Used my leaf blower and gave it a blow-dry, followed by a quick detailing with Bead Maker..:Thumbsup:
    It was a grand day to be alive and out with my sweetheart...

    Guys I need some help. I need to know if anyone knows or can give me a place to find what I need to do to mod my rear trailing arms to install the park brake cable on my car when I replace my rear calipers with the gen2 GP calipers. I can't seem to find anything on it. I know I have to change the front hoses.

    Some info that you may find helpful and some not pertinent. I gathered that GP2 rears would install like R56 rears would on a R53.

    Well I received my brake kit and it looks great except for one thing. It doesn't fit my car it's for a new model with 5 lugs. So it's back to the drawing board. Anyone know anything about Wilwood brakes? They have one that is suppose to bolt right on.
