not quite sure what you mean about "mini:S" but I can tell you that I have this fitted to my mini and its working fine. I had to figure out the wiring but I have a diagram and all of the colours written down.

There's a bit of rust on the floors, just tiny pieces that should patch up quite easily.

I'm planning on changing the brakes for the cooper s 7.5" setup but that won't be until I have the new engine in.

I haven't actually had the key cut yet but they are almost the same size. I will dig out the wiring diagrams and post up when I have a minute.

The lack of chrome is tasty..and good progress too. The wiring reminds me of my old mini, the loom had started to break down so there were lots of additional spliced wires to recconect things! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments. I'm not a huge fan of Chrome to be honest but I will probably change the black bumpers to Carbon ones, as I think they look better than the painted ones.

The wiring loom isn't great but I am gradually removing all of the splices and repairing the loom with propper crimmed/shrink wrapped connections. It'll get there but slowly at the moment.

Luke.
