Tagged a red Gen2 MCS in the parking lot of Potomac Mills shopping center with rally lights and white windshield wipers around 3:30 pm today.
edit: Also tagged a black Gen2 MCS by the Burger King in the Potomac Mills shopping center plaza, it had a small Harley Davidson sticker on the bottom right of the boot window.

Looks like the other buyers decided to back out because they didn't respond to my emails.
This is what's available to buy:
3 Orange MINI's at $5.00 each
2 Brown MINI's at $7.00 each
I'm not adding to the purchase price, you're just paying price without taxes.
Send me a PM if interested in picking any of them up. I will not meet up, unless it's at a DCMM posted meet.

Any time that works for you is great! Next week works for me, I'll send you a PM early during the week to set a date and time.

Anyone interested in offering their garage space and jack stands and help me install my short shift kit? I don't have all the necessary equipment to do the install and thought I would check here first before I go and buy the stuff.
Or is anyone having a "Garage Day" coming up?
Regards,
Mike

A little bit of late notice but does anyone have any plans of working on their MINIs this weekend? I don't have the necessary tools to install a short shifter kit, and wanted to see if anyone was willing to share their garage and jacks?
Thanks,
Mike

But it was dull not shiny

There are A LOT of sticker ideas in mind that I want made...Just don't know where to start. :laugh:

They say no insurance company will insure it, because it would scratch too easily.
Then I was wrong. haha

ugh, that's a lotta chrome.
Did you see the note that too much chrome is actually illegal in many states?
I don't know if it was posted here, but someone actually had a MINI Cooper painted chrome for his wife but was illegal in whatever country/state they are in.
Here are some Google images:

Can't decide on which wheel color to go/stay with, help me out! :banghead:
Stay with original wheel color:

Or, Plasti-Dip Gold Metalizer over white Plasti-Dip:

Im at Hershey Park in PA, and thought I'd see if anyone was interested in me picking them up a Hershey's chocolate MINI Cooper Hot Wheels size car for their collection. I plan on picking up a couple for myself, if you want one shoot me an email and I can pick one up for you, and we work out payment later.
Thought I would offer since I'm already out here.
Each MINI cost $7.00

This is what I ended up getting:

i saw Michael's (68wmcs) MINI park off Jones road off duke street not to long ago. it looking good like the stripes
I was there, I did see a lot of MINI's down in that area.
edit: Thanks, I did the stripes and pin striping myself.

Just installed the Ian Cull Auto Up Module, LOVE IT!
edit: also did a DIY for some temporary cup holders till I can come up with a better idea.

I've removed and put suede in my 04 Subaru STi. It's a pain if you don't know what you're doing, but saves a lot of money if you DIY. I used 3M spray adhesive and a glue gun.
This DIY is for a Subaru but applying the fabric is the same, I used the same method but I added a glue gun for all the corners to make sure it doesn't sag.

If you have any questions or plan on doing it yourself, let me know and maybe we can work out a day were I can help.
Good luck! :motor:

Great idea, was wondering when you would put that vinyl machine to good use.
See if you can get a color layout so that you can post it on your thread.
Will be coming to you with my future sticker ideas.

Completed the E-brake boot, pictures above of what the setup looks like installed.:rock:
-
That's cool. I was hoping you found it locally. Thought it would make a cool accent pillow. If you do have enough left and want to get rid of it let me know.
I wouldn't mind giving it to you, but I still haven't made my E-brake boot.

Many, many moons ago I had one in my '84 Dodge Colt Turbo (an old school pocket-rocket) and it worked great, but I would think it would be too big of a footprint in the MINI. I take it you don't have a Light-N-Sight in there, eh?
Love the red seat pulls.
No I don't have a light in sight, but it does sit higher than the OEM rear view mirror. I haven't removed the OEM mirror, it's angled so I can see my daughter in the back seat. :lol:
-
Looks good! Love the stripes. That fabric is really cool. Where did you find it? It would make a cool pillow
I don't give out my sources!!! :laugh:
Ok, you talked me into telling you. Ebay search "mini cooper fabric" and you'll see it.
Hmm, I do have enough left over to make a decent size "in car" pillow...
