How to install custom locking pins on the Mini.

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Body

In this video, we see how to further customize our Mini by focusing on the details. There are different designs available for the door lock button covers (although the cutest ones are those with the Union Jack). Each package contains two locking pins. You can find them at BMW dealerships, but also on eBay with the code 403419692226: they cost 79.40 euros + 12.00 euros for shipping. For installation, you need to clean them well, then remove the protective film from the adhesive insert, and use it to remove the old one (we can tell you that it's not as easy as it looks in the video: you need a towel, pliers, and some force to pull the cover up). Now open the door to create counter-pressure. The new pin is inserted in the same position. If you want a cheaper alternative, we can suggest this code on Ali-express: it's the Mini wings, in various colors, simply to be inserted around the existing pin: 19859076230, at a price of 2.76 euros. If you spend at least 10 euros, shipping will cost 2.99 euros.

How to Remove the Rear Bumper of an Opel Corsa

How to remove the rear bumper of an Opel Corsa? Follow these steps carefully. This operation is not too complex if done in order. First, use a screwdriver or battery-powered drill to unscrew the securing screws located near the rear lights, then remove them from the body along with their connectors. Unscrew the screws located at the top of the bumper, then unscrew the screws on the sides of the wheel arch liners and at the bottom of the bumper. Once the bumper is free from any screws or pins, grasp it with your hands and pull it away from the body (disconnect any power cables if necessary).
