    Drove to the parts store to dump my oil tank only to find out their oil tank full. Guess I have to learn to call first, this is not the first time this has happened.

    I did pick up 2 bottles of Techron on sale, sort of liquid walnut blasting. :)

    Finally got Scooter out for a little romp, short city trip, then I decided to do a fast wash and Hydro. :)

    So much better, now to go out and detail the wheels, before it hits 90 degrees. It is sunny and 88.3 now. :devil:

    Funny how a clean MINI sitting in the driveway just makes a fella feel happy.

    Mmm Hydro :D

    Installed the Rogue Dragon Eyes I got from the M/A store on my wife's MCS. I was fortunate to get these, as I guess only one or two sets remain! :Thumbsup:

    On Saturday, finally worked up the nerve to peel off my front bumper (cover) and install my Hella driving lights. I wanted mid-mounted ones (directly in front of the bumper) and their mounts attach to the steel bumper reinforcement / the real bumper. Very solid/sturdy, but a PITA to get to.

    Lots of fiddly fasteners, peeling away the fender liners, loosening about 1/2 of the fender arches. But we got it done!

    Pleased with the results...now just need a dark road to try them out!

    In a drastic state of disassembly. Yes: those are, in fact, the OutMotoring instructions laying on the engine!

    And, all done:

    Looks great & I'm sure you'll agree on your first dark country drive well worth the effort. If it was easy everyone would do it. Well done! :Thumbsup:

    I sanded my bumper twice with 2000 grit to smooth everything out and let it bake in the sun.
