    The more you do to the mini-me version the more it puts me off even starting on mine!

    Was the motivation anything to do with haveing the interior out on the big one that you felt the need to do the same on mini-me?

    Me thinks its time you got the paints out and colour coded the console and armrest switch panels .. you'll only get bored otherwise!!

    the main reason mini-me was in bits was to tweak the front marker/indicators to lose the orange and gain the DRL effect.... so bits were removed, tweaked and modded to get the effect....

    lost the orange and gained a line....

    to say it was a bit of a fiddly challenge was an understatement! soldering 2 wires to a surface mount led chip the size of 3 sugar grains was a pain, then to do it 10 times.....

    plastic light guides cut and 10 leds glued in.... with a standard scalpel blade to give some idea of scale!


    gets the effect i want!




    bearing in mind only the very front edge is seen, the rest was painted silver. i just wanted the line of 5 lights to show!

    when it's fitted into a slot cut in the light housing it all worked nicely.


    once wired up to a 9v battery mounted in the boot and a switch under the rear valance it was done!

    all good, and not quite as extreme as the 1/24 mini model i had on the back shelf of my mini (pretty much an exact replica of course) that had all the lights working, in sync with the lights on the actual car!
