[QUOTE="Octave, post: 8251245, member: 633707"] When Bao picked up his new Mini he knew from the start we were going to do a lot with it. Being a close friend this allowed him some liberties…..like driving me crazy, but what are friends for. So starts Operation: Mini Mike. The build was to be competition ready while being OEM and stealth. What follows is an adaption of the competition install log and over the following months going into finals we will be adding an iPad in dash, custom leather seats and some other accents to tie the whole interior together.
