Hi guys!!
Thank you all for your patience over the last few weeks!! Things have been a little hectic to say the least with our new venture that is soon to start... if you don't follow us on social media, go give us a follow and see what we have just bought!! (here is a hint.... www.torquemonkey.co.uk)
In the meantime, here is our fitting guide to the Mod A Mini spoilers! Since we starting making these available lots of you have purchased and have used our printed instructions, but hopefully this video tutorial should help even more! I have also noticed there is a lack of information on how to fit the GP style wings - the theory for this is essentially the same (even down to the same size holes, making these wings interchangable ;-) cool, hey??)
As ever, I am eternally grateful you guys just laugh through my mistakes hahaha - enjoy, and please leave a thumbs up if you didn't hate it :-)
All the best and lots of love,
Mim @Mod A Mini Garage xx
PS... We lost my very much loved Grandad in January which has been crushing... he loved cars and LOVED talking to us about our latest ridiculous projects and jobs in the barn. It has devastated me and I wish with all my heart he could follow our Mod A Mini journey for longer ❤️ We have dedicated this channel to him and his memory - I can just imagine his grin if he ever knew he had made it onto "the internet" :-)

Enjoyed the video guys. I would recommend putting masking tape along the hatch/door. You can mark through the holes in the end plates with a pencil. Centre punch as mentioned through the tape and leave it on while you drill through, it will protect the paint if drill doesn't behave. I enjoyed the real life experience and tribulations of working on Jon's car, the ups and downs along the way and final relief and happiness with the finished result. Sorry for your loss.

Hi Graham thanks so much for taking the time to comment, we didn't even think of that! great tip!! we thought we would try and put a bit more of the frustration of working on cars in this one and also in the videos going forward, we had a right laugh editing this one and looking back on bits that are just so menial! Thank you so much for your condolences I really appreciate that, Miriam xx

Greetings from Latvia . enjoyed watching the install video . Like most I was in my head saying centre punch as you were starting to drill the pilot holes ! Glad to see you had your hair tied back as you were drilling , long hair and drill are a deadly mix .no need to worry about the little scratches because the side pieces of the spoiler hide them all. great post guys .....sorry to hear about your Grandad ..........Harry

@ModAMiniGarage 4 года назад

Hole punch is a great shout :) not everyone has them though when we do stuff we try and keep it as home brew as possible but a punch is definately the best way :) thanks you so so much for watching and taking the time to comment :) Miriam xx

Top tip . Before u drill Ur pilot hole get a center punch and mark the hole with it . It'll stop the drill moving . Drill Ur pilot hole can me 1.5 mm then drill up in 3mm but treat the holes as uv just taken all the protection IE. Paint off and it will rust 👍

@TheRschuh84 4 года назад

Serious question why not use fishing line to cut the adhesive tape so you don't have to heat and pry as much?

@ModAMiniGarage 4 года назад

Thanks for asking! One of our customers did this and ended up with scratches over his roof where the line wore through the paint... So we opted for this, yes it's slower but no damage to the paint. Lots of people do use fishing wire successfully though :) hope this helps, Miriam xx

@invisio_twitch 4 года назад

Can you center punch the door for the holes or will it break the glass?

@ModAMiniGarage 4 года назад

You probably can :) we haven't tried it though... We opted for tip ex but a punch would definately make it easier :) Miriam xx

Have you ever changed the transmission oil on a pre 2004 R50? I have no clue how to get to the fill plug. I can find it, but when I get a spanner on it, the subframe prevents the spanner from actually moving. Am I missing something obvious?!

With a Cooper S r56 do you have to remove the spoiler and replace it like other gp wings?

@ModAMiniGarage 3 года назад

You can if you want, but we supply the blanking stickers for the holes so you can either fit a smaller spoiler, or use the blanks depending on the look your going for. Hope this helps, Miriam xx

@BoomyWildchild 3 года назад

@@ModAMiniGarage it’s just that I’ve read that the r56 Cooper S spoiler is part of the roof moulding? Does that still work with the blanking stickers?

@ModAMiniGarage 3 года назад

Oh I see what you mean... Yea you will need to keep your old one (if it will fit, not fitted one of these to an R56 yet) or if it doesn't fit you will need to fit the R56 one spoiler (this is what you do on the r53s) I hope this helps, sorry for not understanding, Miriam xx
