Changed the oil and cleaned the summer wheels off before storing them for the winter.

So you do finally get it then.....It is "To each his own !"
That is what MINI is all about....
So keep your chrome, and then re-read the title of this thread again

Well then, turn your black plastic into chrome and then post back up.
Mean time all, MOD ON !

Just bought the car (2010 MCSa 60k miles). Put in plugs, air filter, changed oil/filter and got new tires. Started detailing the exterior. Some paint correction is needed but not much. After all that me and the wife(owner) went motoring for 2 hours! Had a blast. Looking forward for more motoring.

Well done!
Depth of field (no pun intended) is where it's at!

Putting my resonator back. After adding changing my downpipe to an aftermarket, it went louder and its beyond my taste.

Installed an AFE dry air filter in my 08 base this afternoon. Did the torque arm inserts 2 weeks ago. Awesome inexpensive improvement!

If you're asking in terms of light output, the Crystal Visions gave off a whiter light. When i swapped out the bulb, it turns out i already had some sort of Philips bulbs in there. Not sure which ones, but they were getting old and dim. These were a bit brighter compared to what i had in there. The fogs didn't make much of a difference. I just wanted it more for the color anyway. Probably won't be able to tell if they help until it gets foggy.

Shipping weight was 40lbs for 2 wheels packaged together. Other than that, I have no idea!
