Washed it this past Sunday, but it's been sitting in the Garage since due to me getting the R53 back running, been beating on that one all week instead.
Wagner Comp Intercooler going on the R60 this weekend, that should be fun.
I wish! It was night, in a rural area, with the cars butt-to-butt to pull the caddy out backwards, so no useful headlights to illuminate things. But more to the point, I didn't think of photos until too late!
"Pics or it didn't happen" is a fair response. But on my word our MINI did it
Car-Lab is $62.99 and free shipping or $79.99 and free shipping from Amazon; same seller but the Car-Lab site will ship directly from Taiwan, took about 5 days to get to Hawaii.
Installation is very easy... You open the hood and right there up behind the hood hinges are the scuttle lights. There are two plastic tabs; one on top and one on the bottom of the light assembly. Just reach in and press the top tab and the light will pop out the outside of the scuttle. Then just pull the light out and disconnect the connector by pressing a tab and pulling straight out. Unscrew the bulb socket from the old light assembly, remove the bulb and you'll connect the new LED assembly where the bulb used to be on the old bulb socket. Then screw in the connector to the new light assembly (it has tabs) and insert the bottom of the light into the scuttle from the outside and then snap the top in and your done. Several notes:
1. Each new LED assembly is marked with a "L" or "R" for left and right.
2. You might want to check that the light flashes using the emergency lights before snapping it back in. I noticed if it doesn't work you have to flip the connector 180 degrees; guess the LED is polarized.
Wish I had taken pictures of the process but it's really really easy.
I swapped out my stock scuttle lights with these smoked LED ones. Super easy!

I think the whole car looks better, the big bright white OEM lens was a distraction and depending on the car color or scuttle color the smoked lens looks better in my opinion. Let me know if you have questions installing them.
2.Spare Tire Adapter Kit ( http://www.tdnparts.com/spare-tire-adapter-kit/ ) This is the latest model works on both front and back paid $160 delivered. (Came with a t-handle lug wrench with both lug sizes needed)
<strike>Was there any delay in getting that adapter kit? I placed an order last week, the payment via PayPal went through, and it's sitting in "Awaiting Fulfillment" mode on their site.</strike>
UPDATE! Heard back from the vendor pretty much right after I posted this! They were in the middle of having a batch made up, and it will ship out today.

Reason: Heard back from vendor :)
I put my summer tires on the car today, thereby probably jinxing us (in Anchorage, AK) to a late April dumping of snow.
Looks great.
Nice seeing the driving lights. I've wondered if the kit replaces the front grill with the 'old' style that doesn't have the chrome/red horizontal trim line -- now seem to have the answer.
