The Official Lightning Blue Owners Club
Not real good shots...sun's up too much already this cold morning before I could get the car out, camera ready, etc., but I thought I'd revive this thread just a bit...
Car got the full detail again this weekend... P21S Paint Cleanser followed by old school 3M Hand Glaze and a coat of P21S Concours Look wax. Griots Spray on Wax over the top to finish off. One Grand Exterior and Vinyl on tires and plastics.


These Blizzak's have been fantastic in all sorts of weather. I've used Blizzaks since '97 and they've always been exceptional tires.

I traded in my 2008 for my 2012 LB MCS. Buster is his name and he is awesome!

Who can educate me on the different side skirts on these MINI's? Is it an option, different years, upgraded pkg? Thank you in advance?

Will these JCW side skirts fit a Gen 1 MCS? Are they a dealer item only?
