Awesome thanks guys, also getting the old ones out. How on earth do I do that?! Attempted it the other day couldn't work out how to pop the wiper blades out

Oh dear max... Fold them up and push the blades down. You'll see how they become a hook on the wiper arm :)

Yeah it was getting dark by the time I took those photos and even on a high iso on manual mode it wasn't enough so I had to use the flash lol

looks alright... you'll have to get one tomorrow morning :) lovely looking steering wheel though, i still like my cream one!

Mar 09 2013 08:47 PM

minimaxie

Yeah I think I may have to. Thanks man, I do like the cream ones too but mine was badly worn on the cream bits so it looked pretty tired to be honest

Don't know pal, I had a look at the rules and regs and it said at no point are helmet cams allowed on the track :(
Mar 08 2013 04:25 PM

Thorpsta

Probably so the track isn't liable to damage or anything? Or because they don't want people watching the video and getting an unfair advantage ;)
Mar 08 2013 05:22 PM

minimaxie

Fair play, that seems about right actually

Just be careful. I replaced my brake lights and they were crap. Should be ok with the interior light tho.
Mar 07 2013 06:45 PM

brum,brum,mike

I believe the interior light is a BA15 bulb. Just search BA15 LED in ebay. Unless the bulbs for is for an earlier car where the interior light bulbs are festoon's... in which case i don't know which bulb you want ;) Hope this helps.

I've heard numerous people say you can't get any better than Gliptone Leather Cleaner. Can't say from personal experience but I bought some the other day for my Mazda which I'm waiting to be delivered.
Feb 22 2013 01:24 PM

minimaxie

Thanks guys, yeah was looking at that Gliptone stuff on ebay too, never heard of it before
Feb 22 2013 01:35 PM

I don't know if I would restore it or keep as is. I would want to drive that but at the same time nervous as hell, as it's a pretty rare lil Mini

Use your hands, and rip violently towards yourself trying not to smash yourself in the face is a bonus.
Feb 15 2013 11:31 PM

minimaxie

Lol muppet!
Feb 15 2013 11:47 PM

Archa

I might add I've never smashed myself in the face with this technique and have only broken one clip. :)
