Just got an email from DINAN advertising a sale they have going. It's 25% off all MINI mods in stock.
A little history might be necessary - DINAN has traditionally been a BMW tuner shop and they've done good things with 3,5,7-Series standard and M cars. So, when the new MINI came out, they decided to give it a shot and released several modifications and kits. After MINI replaced the R53 with the R56 for 2007, DINAN discontinued development. Therefore, none of their mods are designed for '07 and newer Cooper, Cooper S, or Clubman models. However, their mods theoretically may work on the '07 and '08 convertibles.
Many people feel that the mods are overpriced, but one thing that made them attractive was they offer a warranty through the MINI dealerships, which is where the installation takes place. MINI of Sterling was a participating dealership, but I don't know about MINI of Alexandria.
Anyways... see the DINAN web site.
