What did you do to your MINI today?

Replaced my aging plastidipped grille surround and head/tail light rings w black plastic ones. Had to drop the front bumper to access the grille.

Finally replaced my yellow S badge on the front grille, after the dealership blew if off when they complimentarily washed my car during the last free service. Been sporting the plain black S underneath for quite some time.

Noticed that two of my bottom bolts were missing from the front lip. When it was still under warranty, I paid $500 to have them replace the temperature sensor when a rodent chewed through the wiring. After taking the front bumper off, I could've just spliced the wires back together myself, and I wouldn't have two missing bolts.

Found some 15" 5x100 wheels. Now I need to find some appropriate hub centric adapters. So far, I've found a set of 4 runs about $300.
 
I got 4.2mi/kWh one night last winter, in falling snow... I highly recommend Nokian wr-g4s for those south enough not to need hardcore winter tyres, which you do?
Summer tires are 205/45/17 inch Pirelli Cinturato P7 summer (non RFT) on black tentacle wheels and winters are 195/55/16 Pirelli Snowcontrol 3 RFT on loop spoke.
