Saw two MINIs on the way to work this morning π
I passed a Black Cooper on route 128; did not even notice it till I had gone past! So slowed down and let it pass me and waved – got a wave back from the lady owner and passenger too.
Then at the Village Restaurant in Essex, a Blue Cooper was parked – could not find the owner, but took a picture anyway:

(the owner, Shelley, has contacted me – she works at FNBI bank round the corner)
Also saw a green CLASSIC Mini (with sunroof) today! Waved and got a wave back π
GBMINI gets chrome washer jet caps
I fitted some chrome washer jet caps on GBMINI today – the black ones were graying from wax, and Indi Blue looks much better with chrome.Β I bought them from CooperTuning, a german company – the parts arrived in about a week so no problems with shipping. The price with shipping is around $30.Β They fit over the black washer jet and fastens with double sided tape – it does not quite fit down to the hood, but looks fine unless you get really close!
GBMINI stereo – noise issues
A quick link tonight for any other MINI Cooper owners with aftermarket stereo noise issues – or those who solved the issues. This thread discusses issues a friend has with his install, and various (as yet unsuccessful) ideas to cure the issues:
