  1. Up for sale are six S-Lite rims from a Mini Cooper S. Four rims are from a 2004 MCS and 2 are from a 2006 MCS. Five are in good condition and one has a slight bend on the inner lip of the rim but can still hold air with a tire on. I can send out pictures of each rim if anyone is interested. Prices are negotiable.
  2. I have a brand new quick-release oil drain plug that I had purchased from Outmotoring earlier this year. I took it out of the package to look at it but it was never installed on my car. I attached a link to outmotoring's website that shows pictures of the drain plug below. http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-cooper/mini_cooper_quick_drain_oil_drain_plug.html Based ont he information from their website the drain plug will fit the 2002-2006 mini cooper and the 2004-2008 convertibles. for sale for $15
  3. Thanks Edge, I was looking at that site prior to posting my question but just wanted to make sure that nothing has changed since that posting.
  4. I am looking to get some rims and snow tires from my Mini this year. I came across some 15" rims that have come off of a 2nd gen mini. Does anyone know if there are any fitment issues with using 2nd gen wheels on my 2004 without a big brake kit? I am currently running the stock S-lites. Thanks Chris
  5. Did you put seafoam in the crankcase? I am curious to see how it would react with synthetic oil. I was looking a similar system by 3m the Do-It-Yourself Fuel System Tune-Up Kit, 08963. Has anyone tried that?
  6. Safelite has their own version of the glass and they do use others (SGC -Safelite Glass Corp. or Pilkington). I have had a few from them due to them having to redo the installation. I had many problems with thier installation and have had to take my car back there 7 times. (Long Story) I would seriously avoid taking it to the Alexandria location because thats where my problems started. The arlington one is nice and they did my rework but I would make sure that the have the side pillar pieces in stock and your windsield is aligned correctly. Since mine isn't correctly aligned I get a noise from the plastic pillar cover and have lost the pillar covers going down the highway. I have heard that many people have had succcess using some of the other smaller shops.
