    I was a tad cynical when I read this but sun was out today and I though what the heck I'll give it a bash. Well if anyone is toying on doing this then DO IT. WOW what a difference no way did I think it would improve it this much. Thanks Del and Baz.

    Craig,

    yours is an R50, so this doesn't refer to your model of car... If you have an after market head unit, then your already better off as the MINI head units are p!sh...

    I see a good few got this done in Liverpool and raved about the difference, if its one thing I like is my Music in the car and right now it can’t take the base at all. I see it’s a quick install if your using Mikes cable swap ( Yes I know it dear as but as he’s said its not his fault its typical BMW parts)

    I was not going to bother but if I put new Tyres on in a few weeks I’ll be keeping the car another year. If I had been down south there I'd have got it done. If its one thing the Liverpool Show did have that was great was Members helping Members Mod there cars and in the dry.....
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
