    Hi, I'm new to the site and forum. I'm looking for some help with my 2002 mini one. I've had it a while and it's quite basic so I've being trying to improve its looks a bit. I swapped out seats for leather ones etc.
    I've got a coupe of problems I'm hoping someone can help with.

    1. The drivers window had lots of vertical scratches so I swapped it out with a replacement from a scrap yard. Looks great. Water tight. But when I get above 60pmh there is a whistle and it seems to open up a gap at the top. Is there any adjustments I could do to make it fit better and stop this happening?

    2. I'd like to add vinyl stripes, perhaps to the bonnet or perhaps viper strips across whole car. There are lost on offer on line but I'm looking for recommendations on which are the best to go for?

    Thanks.

    Have a search for resetting the window motor memory - something rings a bell about holding the switch down for so long.

    They can sometimes need reset after battery replacement etc, they don't pop back up after closing the door

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
