Yeah, any body shop worth a nickel can do that job. If you're not happy with the dealership, just take it elsewhere. Probably cheaper too. You could put the savings toward some more carbon fiber bits and pieces.

Ohhhhhhhhh Yeah, I know very well.

I spent over $4,000 on aftermarket mods on my Chili Red/Checkered R50. When I sold it, those mods didn't mean a think in the value of the car. Going to try not to do much aftermarket stuff on my new one. Of course, a JCW doesn't need much more. The $2500-3000 of dealership additions will be enough!

For anyone else on the California Highway we have great news. It just showed up on Vessel Tracker and it's a day ahead of schedule into Baltimore!

My MINI is scheduled to arrive in Brunswick on the 27th so I'm hoping for the 26th. Chances looking better for a holiday weekend delivery.

Well... WW just reported my car is off the boat...

Even though I know that it's been off the boat for 4 days and arrived at my dealer today. heh.

Monday can't come soon enough! I think it's the first time I'm wanting the weekend to end!

Yep, first time I saw those wheels I knew they'd by my choice. Not normally a fan of black wheels but with the silver accents, they look really good.

Congrats, you must be beyond pumped!

Sneaky, what is the name of that wheel? Those are really nice and I'm not sure if I've seen them on another MINI.

He's probably gone out for a drive.

Those are called Black Star Bullet wheels. Actually quite popular on new MINIs.

Hey, EHans.... I've bought a couple of small accessories for mine, too. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Hey now, this is a family site.

I am keeping it a secret because it I totally bungle the install, I'll pretend it never happened.

That's a good reason to keep it secret ! Better than the reason I'm keeping one of my dealer-installed accessories a secret. I'm simply doing it for the surprise factor. And Super Greg is really chomping at the bit to know. hahaha
