What did you do to your MINI today?

[Rexsio]

I put on my winter wheels a week ago. They are JCW takeoffs so they had the red JCW center caps and valve stem caps. I swapped out the caps for the yellow ones for the SE when I installed the wheels. I didn’t like the valve caps so I ordered some yellow caps that we use on airplanes at Boeing. The yellow matches the energetic yellow of the center caps and other trim items really well!!

I don't have as much yellow on my SE as you, @Rexsio, but I just placed my order for 4 more yellow accents. Thanks for the link, @jwzimm!

Mine are arriving Monday, yours... heck you could pick them up tomorrow in Waterford up 23 and east on 59!

I hate the heavy traffic on US-23 and 90 miles (round-trip) is a long way to drive for 4 valve-stem caps. Fortunately, my current valve-stem caps aren't broken, so I can afford to wait a couple of days.

Today I paint my bull bar yellow just to add more yellow and valves cups will be next addition when they come in.when I took bar of I notice scratches on bottom and they come from parking lots concrete stops that bar prevent to ruin valance on a car .That is only benefits from and obviously a bar is only decoration not preventing any frontal collision.

The USPS isn't always this efficient, but the parcel already arrived at my PO box in way upstate New York. Two days. Glad I didn't pay extra for Priority!

Finally getting around to adding pics of the JCW spoiler I added. Also my custom plate. Really happy with how it turned out. Next up jCW side skirts.

Nice. Where did you source it from? And will it fit all SEs?

 

[SameGuy]

Got the caps today, they are exactly what we have at work, but these are brand-new (ie not rattling around in a parts bin). The yellow is a close enough match.

Mine also came in the mail, today, but I shouldn't be posting in this thread because I was too lazy to put them on today.

What I did to my SE yesterday? Indirectly bc I’m charging Mini SE with solar panels I clean them with special solution to improve output on them to produce more electricity I made so shiny like mirror.My charging is free. . My yellow caps should come today.

Due to user error at home, my poor SE only had 30% SoC this morning when it was time to head to work (85 miles round-trip). So I stopped at the convenient Electrify America site on my route and spent 30 minutes (precisely!) charging up to 85% SoC. At first I was only getting 29 kW charge rate but after a few minutes the charge rate climbed to 49 kW (at a 150 kW charger) and stayed there until I hit 80%, at which point it kept dropping until it went under 30 kW at 85% which is why I stopped there. I was very pleased and now know for sure my rodent-chewed wiring has indeed been fixed.

I haven't properly cleaned the winter wheels yet, but they've only got a bit of storage dust (I may have put them away wet). The caps are indeed a warmer, more "Tonka" yellow than the rest of the SE yellow trim, but I think only I'd notice that.

I put my winters on the day before the “snowfall”

 

[SameGuy]

Lol I stayed indoors all day yesterday. I only slapped them on today because I really really hate doing it when it's below freezing out, and I currently don't have enough room in the garage to do it in there like I did last year.

We planned to drive to the Tesla V3 Supercherger in Deep River as it has a MagicDock. Left our place at 100%, stopped in Rigaud for breakfast and topped off to 90%. The wind was brutal but pulled into the Electrify Canada site in Ottawa with 15% and that place already has it out for me. My wife was even saying just divert to alternate (charge point site)
Well it didn’t let me down, Couldn’t initiate a charge even by trying all the tricks (Garbage BTC dispensers) with an id4 owner (charging to 100%) swapped stalls etc. The ID4 guys were all helping, one on the phone to EA, one holding the plug while I was initiating the charge. I gave up after 20 mins saying it’s **** and the car isn’t broken as one suggested.. It’s strange it’s just that location I have problems at, the Cornwall and Brockville sites never a problem.

Not believing it has an issue with the car we went to the chargepoint site where the car charged PERFECTLY fine.
Back out on the road and the 417 was solid traffic. Took an hour to Kanata by that point we were almost 2 hours behind schedule , 1hour traffic, 1hour running to get the car charged. We turned around and went for lunch then headed back into Quebec. Charged in Montebello with again zero issues.

 

[SameGuy]

Yeah I noticed my app added the "charge your non-Tesla" selection a couple of weeks ago. Weird how this was one of the first SC locations north of the border to get the MagiDocks, similar to the first ones being installed in wilds () of central New York last year.

Next year it'll be even cheaper (for MINIs and Bolts) to use Circuit Électrique's 50 kW chargers when pricing switches from time (per hour) to quantity (per kWh). The 50 kW pumps will be 31¢ Canadian (~26¢ US after taxes) per kWh. Hopefully drivers of 600 and 800 Volt cars won't hog the slower pumps to save a few ducats.
