I do not like having a front license plate but there were holes drilled in mine and I am American so the Euro style plate looks good to me and hides the not centered holes!!!

Thanks, yes. Purchased it thru MINI Mania years ago. It sat in garage attic for longest time. Had it body color painted few years back. Came with a nice install kit. It extends the belt line some.

Yes, these came out in 2009 I think. Purchased from a MINI employee in Tenn who had them on his Clubman. Of all the OEM wheels, this was my favorite too, they look like 18's without making the car look like it's perched up on wheels....

They are 17"x7" with 48 et. They were rugged for everyday use, on the heavy side, but with low profile 215/40/17 Nitto's had nice turn in/response. ( Black Crown Spoke - R104 Part no. 36116787237 and center cap Part no. 36106787233 )

I only did the first two legs (Atlanta and Charlotte). I bought my Mini two weeks before, so I did Sat-Sun, without having to take days off of work. I don't remember who I got that one from, but another vendor was Stuck On Mini's.
