VioletDC Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Has any1 had experience w/the New MINI Stuff site? I'm thinking of getting these and this 4 Scoopie (as well as a couple of other things) from them. Maybe they won't have as many issues w/the PO in NY ... then again, I just won't freak out, since I know now that items from the UK will show up ... eventually.

Edge Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 New MINI Stuff is a good source for Euro-only parts, I've bought a number of things from them before. However, you can buy a full toggle switch bank here in the USA from any dealer. I suggest trying Morristown MINI - they have traditionally sold OEM parts at 20% under list. Chances are it will be cheaper to buy the toggle switch bank from them. Mind you, you may want to look into actually retrofitting the fog lights you don't have while you're at it.

VioletDC Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks ... getting the fogs was my intention for ordering the entire toggle set. I'll check out the NJ dlr; it's $100+ ordering from the UK! I may even contact Passport 2 see what they'd charge w/the club discount. 'scuuuuze me while I kiss the sky ~ Jimi
JustJAY Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 You don't have to buy a full toggle bank, just by another bank that has toggles and mod yours. That's what I did and it was pretty easy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

JustJAY Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Exactly what did u do? :questionmark: Opened purchased bank and removed a toggle Opened my bank, drilled hole, put toggle in drilled hole [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Edge Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Jay, Are your new toggles actually functional? Or are you only talking about doing it that way for the appearance? I think Audrey's intent is to actually use the new toggle(s), hence the question.
