Let me tell you, it sure is pretty! Cardboard and all...and light. Having never held a carbon fiber anything, it is so light, and so NICE. I can't wait till we put it on...Jay is going to attempt to do it by himself...I'll let you know how it turns out.

All it is to get the OEM one off is two bolts in the boot door, shouldn't be that hard.

And once again I thank you for offering me the sway bar when I had my Cooper....but I had the opportunity to upgrade to the MINI of my dreams, and just had to do it.

You got it all wrong. You need "Type-R" emblems.

Here are some pics of our new mod. IE fixed camber plates and H-Sport springs. I know it is dirty, but it is Winter here. The ride is actually slightly smoother, but slightly harsher on the bigger bumps. With all 4 corners having a slight negative camber, it takes corners better, even with the snow tires. I am happy and can't wait for the 18s to get on there.
