So, still got this and had a problem develop over the past month or more. Tried posting on the Mini forums but they're like ghost towns, so hoping CS can point me in the right direction. So recently the car's developed a pulsating feel when applying brake pedal, but can only be felt at low...

I'm in Alvaston so just outside the City Centre

Replaced the upper grille (cutout for spots) and spotlights for an umolested grille so I could ditch the spots. Much cleaner.

Cheers mate, yeah was sorted easily. Funny you should mention that, split the rear trim off and resprayed. Caught them once with the pressure washer and they're already bubbling, so going to go for the genuine blacklight kit. Cheers for the link, but found both front and rear light trims...

Coated all the lower trim like arches / skirts / lower spoilers etc in CarPro Dlux yesterday, ran out so need more before I can finish the job (not looking forward to the grilles) Also swapped all interior and exterior lights out for 6500k leds to give a slightly more up to date look.

Sorted now. Interior light fuse had blown. Airbag light now off. Rear light chrome trim removed and sprayed. Plastidip is s**t. Need some of the OE blacklight trim pieces.

What a sh*tty fvck up of a day that turned out to be. Plastidip can suck my balls. Now have front lights black and rear lights fvcking chrome with fvcking overspray every fvcking where to sort out. Also swapping out interior lights to leds has fvcked me right the fvck up. Managed to short...

I wouldn't say immaculate mate 😂 I think in that case i'll get some BCs ordered this summer :grin:

What can I say? It annoys me knowing they're dirty 😂 So tempted to order some BC coilovers, if only it wasn't in warranty! Also thank fVck this plastidip peels off - overspray city:flushed:

No I hated it. Bar the noise it was one of, if not the blandest car i've ever owned. I'll never touch another Audi, unless it's an S1.

Cheers mate. Such an epic car compared to the TT. Yeah they're f**king s**t - they look s**t and are s**t to clean. Who the fvck thought it was a good idea to make the arches look like a fvcking living room floor? Just about to attempt to plastidip the chrome around the headlights, as it's...

Spent the day on the wheels / arches today. First car i've owned that has these nasty fabric arch liners :doublesho Attacked the arches / calipers / suspension setup with a 10% solution of surfex. Wheels were hit with Bilberry / Surfex / Iron X / Tardis and a final Bilberry rinse down. They...

I'm from Derby but more than happy to drive down for a meet.

Very tempted to go ahead and order a Storm Moterwerks titanium plated gear knob....

Hoping this looks alright in the sunlight tomorrow.... 20170401_175131 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_175207 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_185627 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_185617 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_185558 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 2 stage correction. Meguiars...

Definitely worth a test drive of one, see how you get on with it :) New plates and Osram diadems fitted (may change these for silver visions in the future, forgot just how blue they were!) 20170401_140206 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_152116 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr 20170401_152056 by...

Daz, cheers for the offer but I want it to stay 'relatively' standard for now - are you selling yours then? It definitely needs a bit more power.....

So after a brief stint in an Audi TT RS, I decided to reduce my car running costs and find a fun car once more - while the TT was quick, it was just too serious and devoid of feedback. So this Mini turned up at the local Mini dealership, 1 owner, only 32k and well specced. After a quick test...

Always lusted after a pot of RG Black Label as i'm a HUGE fan of RG 55. Need to get some at some point!

Opinions on Mitchell and King waxes in general?

Interesting talk about Hydro 2 and the finish it left on your pain JD. Beadjuice has done the same to mine. Even claying followed by Megs MF correction pads / compound applied via DA won't touch it!

Caved in and ordered a pot of OCD Nebula wax while they're running a 15% discount.

So I want to give the new TT some protection over winter. The ambient temperature tomorrow will be circa 7c - is this too cold / inflict holgrams? Would I be better with a spray on LSP like Somax BSD or CarPro H2O?

That 5 pot noise is satisfying :)

Sold this : Collecting this on Wednesday :

Powedercoated the wheels and cleaned it :

I was afraid you'd say that. Doesn't look like a typical stone chip. I'll try and get some.

Spotted this paint defect when cleaned the Zed - On the rear 3/4 panel. It's not a tar spot - thoughts? Had similar on my old R26s rear bumper and tailgate which needed respraying.... (It's the light coloured defect to the left of centre)

The more I look at this - the worse it looks.
