Long time listener, first time caller

Greetings all...

Created an account a while ago, but have yet to start posting.
I purchased my first Mini in April 09 after wanting one for years.

I stumbled across a flawless 2004 MCS, leather, sport package, cold weather package, etc etc and I just couldn't pass it up.

I have been lurking this forum for a while now, but now that I plan on customizing/upgrading some more, I figured I'd introduce myself.

This past week the stereo was replaced with an Alpine iDA-X305 head unit, along with bluetooth unit and PAC adapter to retain the functionality of the steering wheel controls.

I'm also in the middle of installing the OEM chrome trim (ordered from Aaron at outmotoring). Most if it is quick swaps, but still need to do the speedo, tach, and e-brake. Those are a little more labor intensive and the weather is a little too cold to be spending time working outside.
I'm not necessarily a huge fan of chrome, but it looks markedly better than the grey plastic trim, imo.

In the next few weeks, I plan on installing a set of driving lights (looking at the PIAA 5430's), and want to know if anyone out there has a spare toggle switch they'd be willing to sell?? I'd like to fill in the blank spot in my switch bay (I'll also post the request in the appropriate forum) once the lights are installed.

Nice "meeting" you all, I'll leave you with some pictures of my ride:

Welcome! I'd try the NAM Marketplace for both what you are looking to buy AND to sell. There are areas for both!

Welcome! That's a fine ride! My heart still belongs to Chili Red/White combo (my original Cooper).
