    Installed new OEM coolant tank last night in the dark with a flashlight, topped off with distilled water. Going to adjust the lower clamp then go for a test drive.

    I was hoping they would Paul. Seems like the doors get the worst of the road tar and such. I had never seen the molded ones before and like them better then the thin, mud flap type. I agree about the rears, but might as well use them too.

    This is my experience as well.
    I was hoping that the rear flaps would help keep the boot clean, but no.
    They look good though, IMO! :Thumbsup:

    @Jim, did you buy the front molded mud flaps from your local MINI dealer?

    We have them on F/R on the CM, work well.

    Thanks,
    Don

    I saw them in the Hendricks MINI tent, at MOTD. Liked them and bought them. I didn't know they made them for the CM, so I guess I'll put some on it too. :Thumbsup:

    Took one of the old guys from morning coffee for a spirited ride out the lake road and back. He asked a compelling question between sips of hot coffee and I set the hook. That new sway bar added to the fun but he maintained his cool and actually enjoyed the ride. Top down of course.

    I am a believer in Hydro Wash, Hydro Seal, and Hydro.
    My car is Pepper White and it is just so cool to see that kind of shine on a white car.

    Got my baby tinted (finally!) and I am loving the cooler interior. She looks really good too though. :cool:
    I think I need new photos.
