Ooooo, that's sexy!

I 2nd that emotion. Goes nicer w/the headlight trim. :top:

I'm waiting for confirmation (& directions) now for 2morrow night. Will get back 2 u via PM.

Really??? That'd be awesome! I'm gonna hook up w/Craig 2morrow (as long as there's no storm goin' on); maybe u can join us! I have some instructions I can bring, as well.

Wow, is right, Jay. That's quite the laundry list u have there, tvrgeek. I have an '06 auto MCS, and haven't heard, let alone experienced any of those things! The only thing I asked MoS about a year or so ago was some hesitation on takeoff w/in the first few minutes of starting the car. They checked and checked, but couldn't find anything wrong. Other than that, Scoopie's been a gem. I hope they get your issues straightened out w/the quickness so u can start 2 truly enjoy your MINI. But, to answer your question, no, it's not typical.

Looks great! :top:

After this winter, I'm ready 4 just plain sunny!

Hey Craig, No, unfortunately, there aren't any instructions. I just emailed the seller to see if they'll email some instructions for me. I've been all over NAM looking for some, but didn't see any there, either. Some folks mentioned a flickering issue and purchased a converter thingamabob from Radio Shack (a mere .70 item), which is no problem. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, though, if you're willing to go thru the process w/me! Thanks so much!

Hey Jay ... no, I didn't have them b4 ... it's an upgrade 4 Scoopie.

Hey Every1, Scoopie just got a set of new Xenons to replace her stock eyes, and if there's any1 out there who can: 1) recommend a MINI-friendly local auto shop that wouldn't charge 2 limbs 2 install them 4 me; or 2) has the know-how & free time 2 do the same for a six-pack and some pizza of their choice. :embarassed: Please let me know! I'm free next wkend (2/27-28) if the 2nd option works 4 any1. Thanks! Vi & Scoopie

Get outta here!!! :argh: When did she leave, do u know??? Awww maaaaan ... not cool ...

Awww dayum ... I totally feel your pain *sigh*. It'll be OK after the ins. co. does their thing; shouldn't take more than a week (that's how it was 4 me) and she'll be back just like new! :top: Keep ya head up.

Oooooo, purty, purty! R those tires good in snow? :questionmark:

I'll do my best 2 make this one, since MoS adopted me and Scoopie w/no hesitation. Plus, it'd be gr8 2 see Yolanda again! :top:

Selling a set of brand new purple MINI Eyes from Aesthetic Creations. There's a yellowish area that I don't care for; hence the reason I'm selling them at cost (doesn't show up too well in the photo--look closer at the 'left' eye to get an idea). It's deeper in person and covers most of the white area below the eyebrow. SOLD!

That's what I'm 1dering; I have a stock R53 and, at $450, is more than I can afford right now if there's no benefit for a non-modded MINI.

Glad u made it safe and sound, and I look 4ward 2 seeing u again, as well! :hello:

Depending on the cost, I'd love 2 be included (checked the other link and there's no mention of it) ...

Well, I've had a local auto shop change mine w/no problem for around $40, which I truly appreciated. I provided the OEM filter and they used synthetic oil. No issues at all. PMoA did it for me and replaced a strut mount for ~$200, which wasn't too bad. I've heard of others doing their own at the usual 5k mile intervals w/no problems, as well.

Awww ... love your shirt, tho! :top:

That would be really cool!

Bummer ... I was all set to go, too. Looking forward to the next 1!

Kewl! Will try again next year!
