WTB - Downtubes for 2006 Cooper

I'm looking for a set of downtubes in either silver or anthracite. They don't have to be perfect because I'm planning to cover them with checkered vinyl. I need the ones that will fit in a 2006 Cooper. Anyone?

MINI_Bee... give me a few days to dig around, I might still have mine from when I switched to the JCW leather downtubes. They're from my 2005 MCS, but the design was exactly the same for 2006. It's 2004 and prior years that the design was a bit different.

Of course, if someone else offers up their's before I find mine, take them!

I saw that! Pretty silly. I sent the seller a note pointing out the error and asking for more reasonable shipping. He's in Orlando and I'm in Tampa. I could drive there and back for less than $20.

Bumpity Bumpity. Still looking for a set of downtubes. Silver or anthacite, scratches OK. Planning to checkerize them!

I have a set of silver downtubes from my '06 in perfect condition. They were only on the car for a few months before I got JCW leather ones. Say $35 shipped? Paypal preferred.

Also, keep in mind that the downtubes from the 02-04 will fit the 05-06, even though the 05+ downtubes have that "flare" at the end.

When I got my JCW carbon fiber downtubes, they were the "old style" (no flare at the bottom), but they fit my '06 just fine. If anything, they were a little bit easier to install, since you don't have to pass them up through the bottom of the console openings.
