Anyone who needs a winter set of wheels can have these for just $125. I'm moving and need to find them a home.

Selling FIVE 17 inch Rota B Rims with tpms sensors. Four ContiProcontact All season non-runflat tires (two are in bad shape and useable only short term. One is like new while the last is still good). Last two photos are the same tire. Didn't bother with pics of the bad shape tires. Full disclosure - the outside of the rims (not spokes) have some curb rash but some bug left squiggly trails on the aluminum. Best option IMO would be to plastidip the rims and leave the spokes gunmetal). I haven't had time to clean them up so there are cobwebs and stuff. Hope to find them a new home soon.

5 am??? Lol - happens when you set it up at 12:35am. I haven't been to the new Caboose location. Sounds like a plan.

Wrapped My Headlight Trim/Blacked-out Grill Surround
ChrisTKD replied to Coopah's topic in Maintenance & Modifications
The vinyl wrap looks good. How much extra $$$ is the replacement trim versus vinyl? -
What did you do to your Mini today?
ChrisTKD replied to Lt. Dan's topic in Maintenance & Modifications
The existing mirror caps are black and in decent shape. I was just bored with them. It sounds like I should consider something other than covering with the cheap Chinese-made stick on caps. Basically looking for a design. Peeling the old - I'm not looking forward to it. -

I've been doing minor maintenance and repair of the trim on my old 2009 Hatchback. 1. Purchased a new stubby antenna because the rubber on the original tall stack completely decomposed. 4 inch stub antenna looks good and I wish I had done it earlier. 2. The chrome grill strip (upper) came off during a recent trip up to Philly. I ordered a new one from PartsGeek and it arrived today broken in two pieces. I am not impressed with the customer service at that place and I may be out $80 bucks for a piece of plastic. If the claim isn't honored I am going to go to the dealer part shop and use my 10% parts discount. 3. Finally removed the electrical tape I had applied to the chrome strip around the window base. Cheapest mod ever and it lasted for years. I am going to leave it chrome for awhile since the original look is now new to me. 4. Has anyone had any experience with the cheap mirror covers that you can buy off of ebay? They sit on top of the existing mirror cap using 3M adhesive tape. I know it's a cheap way to do it but it's not worth it to me to get the actual replacement caps. 5. Next on the to-do list is to peel off the racing stripes on the bonnet (way past time). -
Always a good time even if it's for "business". Hope to see everyone there.

Not sure what I will bring yet. Please have the club buy extra drinks especially if it's hot outside - I think we ran short last year.

Bummer. I'm flying back that day. Sounds like a fun run.

Dealerships OMG. On older cars it's often a good idea to rub toothpaste onto the headlights - it's slightly abrasive and can clean them up enough that the issue isn't immediately obvious during the car inspection. But a power cleaning will do the job properly and last for at least two years.

A great way to spend a winter day. Kudos to the organizers.
