    Looks like a nice upgrade does that mate.

    I've been looking around for some photos of the brackets for the standard fog lights, but had no luck. This diagram is for the parts (again for the standard ones, not the big fogs), but should give a bit of an idea. Part 10 is the bracket.. From memory the 2 tabs at the sides are where the bracket screws to the bumper.

    Was really good, and free as well. They're on every month I think over the warmer months.

    Looks good mate. Been toying with getting something similar after fitting the one in the accord. Don't watch that video when you're driving mine... You'll end up in a ditch 😏😎😂

    Had the old girl to a local car meet thought... Real mix of cars. https://www.carbarn.co.uk/

    Little bit of work on the old girl yesterday. Had a new washer motor as the screen wash wasn't working, and mot is due. Also had a new arch liner to stick in while I was on as the old one had suffered from arch rub. Stuck the new motor in, and nothing came out. Could hear the motor going well, but no squirts. Started tracking back from the nozzles to see what was going on, and turns out that a little non return valve was sticking. Tried to fettle it but it was still sticking, so ended up taking the gubbins out of the valve so it was basically a pipe joint... Works better than they ever have now... Finally see what everyone sees in the jazz nozzles. Also finally got around to sorting out the surface rust around the bonnet hinges. Cleaned it all up and chipped off a bit more old seam sealer. Used some kurust rust converter, then painted it with black hammerite. Popped the scuttle panel back on with a bead of silicone along the top as the foam strip that's supposed to stop water running down behind it off the windscreen had almost totally disintegrated. There's a bit of surface rust appearing on the top of the panel where the blower motor is, but couldn't really get to that yesterday. There's hardly anything mind, but it's one to keep an eye on. Was nice to see all of the underseal looking nice and fresh underneath and behind the arch liner. Didn't take any pics of anything as I was cracking on and it kept raining on me.

    Nice one mate 😎 Just noticed that signatures have started showing on the mobile version... Has there been an update?

    Everything my old neighbour used to do on his seemed to involve dismantling half the front end of the car 😂

    Yey for that guide... It's a useful one

    Aw man, that's a big bill for a clutch! Everything I hear about minis is that they're a massive ball ache to work on / get the right parts for. At least DD is back in action 😎

    That seat looks nice.. I like that classic look for seats, like 80s recaros.

    Bet you do matey... Fair play - looks like a mint job.
  20. dr_broon
    Yeah, good few months. Loving it to be honest. Just drives so good.
  21. dr_broon
    It is bud, whole unit... When you change the temperature etc it pops up on the display. Pretty cool really 😎

    Those wheels look mint mate... Very nice. Steering wheel looks good as well
  23. dr_broon
    Crikey, you've been busy with that one mate. Deffo get some pics on to see what you've been up to. Glad she's okay though

    Little update, had to recommission the deck as the accord has decided to shat its power steering fluid so over the shop, do pumped the tyres up, stuck a new yuasa battery in, and off we go 😎 Love this car 🥰

    That's ridiculous picking up stuff like that when things are in good order.. You could almost understand it if they were trying to sell you work, but to them say they wouldn't do it! 🤦 It's such a lottery getting garages to do jobs on your car... Good ones are like gold dust. Hope your foot gets better soon mate..
