So do you detail when you get to work & then detail again when you get home. I mean technically that would be 2 drives

Does anybody on NAM know if the plastic pieces in the boot where the adapter screws into is replacable? If so how hard is it to replace, just thoughts about the long run. Anybody ever have to replace them?

Did anyone ever find out an answer to this question?

AS far as I can see, they look like they would pop out if you took the inside of the boot lid off, but getting the pieces might be tricky. Maybe Classic MINI can tell you.

I just got a new license plate! I was thoroughly disgusted when I saw the paint behind the plate. I'm thinking of taking it off during even minor details now.

FWIW the new plate says "IMALIMY" (I'm British)

I found the part number on realoem.com I called up my dealer and they had it in stock for $.33 cents, I think on realoem.com it was less, but either way they do come out, I called my dealer and the SA said they never replaced them, but he checked and he said they should be replacable.
