How to mount roof bars on Mini

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Roof rack bars

Let's see in detail how to mount the universal roof bars on a Mini (new model). Universal roof bars are used on cars with rails (fixed bar clamped in the car roof) and without. We assemble the bar holder kit (as in the video) with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car: we place the brackets at the two ends of the doors on the original car rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets has been adjusted, we tighten the pins with the butterfly bolt (if lock is present) until they are completely anchored on the roof rails of the car. Finally, we apply the safety caps on both sides.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
