hi all,
i'm thinking that it's finally time to replace my stock shocks on my '05 cooper S with a set of koni FSD.
any recommendations of a mini cognisant shop (preferably in somewhat close to rockville, md) to do the installation would be terrific.
doing it myself isn't really an option since i'm having a problem with my right knee at the moment
-
Yeah, that's for the left side convex one (listed on this RealOEM page). Personally I prefer the aspherical ones (here), but hey, whatever floats your boat!
BTW you can probably get it cheaper at Morristown MINI. They have a standard 20% discount under MSRP, and Pelican Parts pretty much sells exactly at MSRP.
If the dealer you bought from was higher, they probably were pricing over MSRP. Happens at a lot of them (one in particular comes to mind... :stupid:)
oddly enough, that's where i got them a year ago.

are you sure that light pattern actually thrown by each light is actually
different??
my testing shows that both have the same throw pattern
(low on the left side w/ a pronounced rise on the right)
if you have the sufficiently large and level space,
try aiming your lights using this guide.

on the first gen cars, the lights are a bit of a bother
to adjust because
1) they move w/ the hood
2) since they don't follow the old US DOT requirement,
the alignment nipples aren't on the glass.
no one ever flashes me for maladjusted lights on this car.:rock:

for 1st gen vehicles, the eurospec heated drivers side glass is:

available at pelican parts
