I'll take good care of it in the meantime BMRuss said: Love the M5, I MUST have one of those one day with the same colour comboMy advice would be... do it! I wonder whether the F10 will prove to be a sweet-spot in future. With the next one getting even bigger, four wheel drive and a whole host of nannying 'safety' features, this may be the last of the real monsters!illmonkey said: I knew you were doing

The Mini was in excellent condition when I bought it but it wasn't quite up the standard I like to maintain my cars. After its first thorough clean I made a list of the things that were immediately obvious...Grill: The front grill had a crack in it. Looking back at Ben's old photos I could just make it out so it'd clearly been there for a little while. I conscidered simply gluing it up but it was starting to look a little faded in comparison to the lower grill (being directly in the sunlight most of the time) and is a cheap and easy part to replace on the R56.Old grillNew grillAerial: Why did Mini choose to add such a whopper? Makes it look like a remote controlled car! A quick swap to a Stubby is no more than 30 seconds workNote the carbon of the wing in the background. Lush.Strut Bolts The under-bonnet strut brace was a little tarnished, with two bolts in particular going rusty where rain-water collects. Gave the whole thing a quick polish with Autosol and then replaced the bolts, giving the studs a clean with wire wool and the replacement bolts a good coat of waterproof grease - let's see if they hold up.Sidenote: These bolts were a new thing to me - single use bolts that are oval in the middle. The idea being that as you screw them down this forces the oval into a circle and that 'squeezes' the thread preventing it from undoing through vibration. Not come across them before but just 50p from Mini. Whipped out the torque wrench and the job took minutes (34 Nm if anyone's interested - took me ages to find out and even Mini didn't know).Old BoltNew BoltRoof Decal The drivers-side roof decal was losing some of its gloss. Not something someone else would likely spot, but once I'd seen it it was obvious every time I got in! I ummed and ahhed about getting someone else to do this job as the 'cost of cock-up' was quite high (another costly new decal and an embarrassing repeat trip to the Mini parts department) and if it was wrongly positioned or had any bubbles or imper
