I don't think so, the other side has the low washer fluid light on mine. (I have no alarm installed, so I don't know if that light would take it over or something?)

Hey CarFreak, are MINI's popular where your at? Do folks buy the S version much? I am still in the thought process and am leaning more and more towards the non S. Nice car, nice house, nice wheels etc., etc...

PS is that a LIVE STRONG band your wearing on your wrist?

hey guys!

thanks again for all the nice comments

the alarm indicator light is on the left side...

Hey JATO, mini's are rather popular in norway. But is not sold so many S version compared to the Cooper. The S starts at 42000$ ! (32000$ for the cooper)
The taxes in norway are crazy! The non S is good enough for me, 115hp on that little car is great fun

Yes it's a Livestrong band!

for 2006, the low wiper fluid resevior indicator light was added to the wiper stalk. This meant that the alarm indicator light was moved to the signal stalk.

If you purchase an OEM alarm, the signal stalk is replaced with one including a light at the tip...

btw, those are awesome seats. I also fancy those winter wheels... very stylish indeed.

That's a beautiful car! I wouldn't mind a Park Lane as a second MINI. Very nice indeed.
