While my little mod in no way compares with Gary's (or really anyone's) I am thrilled with my latest "mod" -

Of course, the issue NOW is that you've made the first move and started down that path. Get ready to go bonkers with the urge for additional items.
Here's one or two for your Christmas list:http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=36753

I think checkered mirror caps may be at their best on CR.
Your MINI looks happy to be sheltered from the weather.

A funny thing happened on the way for servicing...
(click to enlarge)
1. DDMWorks Ram Air Scoop (RAS)
2. DDMWorks PFB (Pressurized Filter Box)
3. Enlarged Air Intake Tube (EAIT)
4. "Move Over" eyes for character and attitude
5. DDMWorks R56 Bolt On CAT Back System
(+15HP/+15FTLBS Torque at the wheels with a nice low growlie sound)
The whole system working together insures improved throttle response and maximum power consistently for my MINI.
Thanks to Dustin E. and Glenn at AutoXCooper.com
Excellent advice, service and installtion

Goodness Smokie -- you've been a busy boy! Is this work all in addition to getting your cold start rattle addressed by the dealership?
Looking forward to checking it all out in person.

...and speaking of being busy, that doesn't look anything like the LY/W we saw up at MMEMW last year. 
Nice!
Nice checkers. You know I'm a sucker for checkers.

Willie had his driving lights mounted this weekend, summer wheels planted and tomorrow gets tint 
I repainted the driving light covers as they were a little dingy looking from before, did a nice metallic black fleck paint on it.
Cant wait for the tint to be done, then its photo shoot time!
