Prepping GBMINI#3

A quick visit to MINI Peabody caught GBMINI#3 at the start of prepping for delivery:

The wheels are off - front mud flaps will be fitted and the runflat tires will be switched with the non-runflats currently on GBMINI#2 (that way I get to keep the improved ride and the new owner is not surprised with a flat and no spare!)

There is still no certificate of origin, but there are rumours of another option ;)

    What other mods are you/MOP working on, for the immediate future, that you are willing to make public? :o)

    Honestly I can’t even remember the list I gave to Gary - one definite thing will be the JCW air intake.

    Does that mean you aren’t going to JCW it?

    Jared - at this time the JCW is still not available for the auto transmission; hopefully it will be approved at some time. When/if that happens and assuming I upgrade, the air filter from the kit will be taken out as a new part to replace the one I bought - I am keeping the packaging just in case!
