Do I need to fit a different air filter to the standard one when fitting an RC40?

    Well.. I went out for a wet drive, to test the water tightness of my mini. Sure enough, although after it's welding it's muuuuuuuuch better than before, I still have some minor (about 3 mm deep in some areas, but I say minor because it's nothing compared to before) water coming into my passenger footwell, and some into my passenger rear bin too. On the whole, far better than before. Gonna get new door seals, hopefully sealed quarterlights or genuine opening seals, and reseal my wi...
