Newbie Q's

[R7 ETH]

Sorry in advance !!

The cooper that i am getting comes with the CD prep kit and a cassette player. I want to put in a multichanger however Dunedin want £250 for one is there a cheaper alternative that i can fit myself utilising the CD prep kit and no need for more wiring ?

I want to get clear bulbs all round but which type (ie fitting) do i need. Also clear side indicator lenses.

Also i want to change the vent around the indicators also, not very fond of the shark fins but i have seen an OEM version in chrome where is the cheapest to buy from ?

Any links, prices or suggestions would be more than welcome

Kind Regards
Gareth

Well, I would recommend taking a trip to http://www.newministuff.co.uk/ and have a look at what mikeythemini has to offer!! But I'm sure there'll be plenty of people able to help you out here as these are some pretty common queries!!

Try http://www.powerbulbs.com/ for bulbs.

Gareth - there is a sony CD changer and interface available (see Julz link) which plays MP3's too for less than the OEM one - or check out the for sale forum on www.MINI2.com as there's always some appearing there for a lot less than £250!

Clear Bulbs in the front - only need to put osram indicator bulbs in there http://www.powerbulbs.com/ are a good supplier of these and other types of bulbs. The rear clusters involve replacing the whole assembly it's £175 from your dealer or you can get lexus style ones on ebay for £90 - starky has these. As for the side repeaters - there are several ways of doing this - there are chrome versions of the standard style ones available from www.newminisport.com - but they are pricey (about £70!) and the repeater lense itself is extra :( or the shark fin ones with clear lenses are £40-£50 on ebay or www.coolnew.co.uk , or you can go for 'S' ones or get the siver paint out on your own ones!

I'm sure if was a Meguiars query you'd be first though.

I got my chrome door scoops from that dude - got them on ebay though for £20 :) Good service.

Good selection of chrome bits too, don't know if I fancy the chrome side protection bits though.
