Got my mini out today its the first dry day in a while! Took it down to Haworth and took some photos by the old railway station...









what do you think of my dump valve fitment... is it ok for now? it works perfect. i didnt want to modify my plenum, im going to be fitting an intercooler soon and ill be building a t piece into the pipework.



And look at the nasty stone chips and scratches appearing on my rear arches :(

ive got some helicopter tape ive got a huge roll of it, but its so hard to use! i managed to do one arch the front of it, but it took the depth out of the paint and it just didnt look right, it looked dull.

Im actually tempted to get rid of the chrome on my mini and make it all rat colours, ive seen on some VW's where it all looks matt black and green and i think it might look good on mine.

really is a cool car mate, i like it a lot.

why dont you put some carbon fibre type sticky back plastic stuff and put some stone chip guards on the front of the rear arches?

good stuff

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

i had it all planned out to take photos where there were no cars, the two 4x4's pulled up and started asking questions, then the great big road sweeper pulled up and he jumped out to come over and have a look lol!

Sweet! Are your wheels blackened with powder coating or just flat black paint?

Looking really good. I wouldn't take the chrome off, looks perfect as it is.

Where did you get the pipe with the DV take off from?

Great looking car man, I love the black wheels with that paint.

I wouldn't put sticky carbon stuff on your rear arches for protection. I tried it on mine and it doesn't matter how well you do it, it just looks bad.

The dump valve is a great idea! looks nice and saves wrecking the plenum!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

yep :) the pipe ive used for the dump valve is a samco t-piece. its slightly too big, but like i said its only temporary :) i got it from merlin motorsport

the company i use for silicone hoses is this... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Auto-Performance-Silicone-Hoses

you can visit them in leeds, and pick whichever silicone hoses you like straight off the shelf. im going down there with my mini and were going to assemble some pipes to mount the intercooler when i get there and do a trial fit
