I would like to explore the idea of getting involved with group buy purchases. This way we can all save lots of money . Anyone and everyone can join in. The biggest factor is picking out what the majority of everyone wants. This post is for ideas only, then we can narrow down what we should purchase as a team. Here are some examples of what we could buy:

1.arm rest
2. organizer trays(under the steering wheel, behind the shifter, and in the glove box
3. wet okole neopropolene seat covers
4. strut brace
5. stabalizer bars.
6. clear tail lights covers
7. customized decals
8. cold air intake
9. springs
10. brake pads
11. exhaust system
12. short shifting kits

These are just a few examples, please write as many comments as you can think of sharing. please add on to the list, there is tons of things to add on the the MINI. What is you guys want to buy? Let me know. Lets not be shy about it.

 

I made this a sticky...come on, guys...on what can we spend our hard-earned pennies ??

 

To this point over 41 views has checked out this thread and not one idea? Come on Hawaii. No one wants to put their two cents in, on group buys?

 

uhhmmm...how's about a '05-'06 mini with lsd?

ok, ok...how's about a jcw front strut brace?

i think for the new folks, the organizing devices are nice to have, ie. euro shelf, glove box and cubby shelf.

 

How bout the leather arm rests for the doors from Moss Mini?

That and or the under stearing wheel tray get's my votes.

I think by "under the steering wheel" you mean - euro parcel shelf!

 

--hahah yep! You got it Keikilee! That's what I love about this forum when I can't think of something and my mind draws a......darn it! What is it your mind draws when you can't remember what.....huh....oooh pretty shiny Mini mods....

--pyratio <-suffers from OCD and ADD

 

i swear I've got adult ADD...today on the phone with my boss, he asked me a question, and half way through answering it I realized that I had forgotten the question. so like a dummy...I had to say, "wait...what was the question again?"

I was just laughing because I thought the descriptions given were just too precious! I figured I'd offer up the proper name just in case you folks wanted to do a search on it. I'm thinking that you might not get good results searching for an "under the steering wheel shelf" as you would searching for a Euro Parcel Shelf! heh

that's a really good group buy...but as an HMMC member, you should be able to buy it at a discount from the dealership, eh?

 

--Yeah next time I should get technical and call it the under the steering wheel doohicky or thingamajig. Heheh! 1 point 21 gigawatts... oh no the flux capacitor is overloading under my bonnet!!! No prob Keiki. Correct away, although it would have been funny to see who woulda done a search on that.

Hey by the way what kind of discount do we get at Mini of hawaii if any? I can't find them on the vendor list. Oh do tell. Thanks Keiki.

if you join the Hawaii MINI Motoring Club, you'll get the 15% (or something like that) discount on most items at the dealership.

 

So were thinking the arm rest and the EURO PARCEL SHELF... . Does anyone have any other things they want to add? why cant it be an american parcel shelf, I think that the american parcel shelf is that ugly a** cup holder that comes with the MINI. Im sure they dont have that in europe. Only us american pigs have to drive with the super big gulp in our MINIs.

 

I'm interested too in da shelf thing.... , and some custom decals :smile: , sounds good. Let us know.

 

I like my cupholder...for everything but cups. It's a great phone holder or twizzler holder

 

--Hahah! After being in Japan I believe you just might be right Blone-Lone-Star, we're probably the only country that likes to have mega super duper 44oz + drinks while out and about that isn't a beer. I was in a restaurant in Japan and they gave us a 9 oz bottle of orange juice for $5 and a 32 oz of beer for $5. My co-worker was small little white guy and when he picked it up he looked like a giant holding an airplane liquor bottle.

Although I do agree with Bellybean tho about it being pretty versatile. It looks to be a good ghetto ipod, cell phone or mp3 player holster. It's also good for the occasional jumbo mega soda we couldn't finish in the movie theatre. It's not a bad little addition I think.

But the real question is why do we drink so much soda?

--pyratio

 

Before I picked up my MINI at the dealership, I had them yank that cup holder OUT!! I like the suttle and sophisticated clean look...

 

i was looking at a stress bar (BMP)....as for the "EURO PARCEL SHELF", could this be fitted under the glove box (since i motor solo most of the time).

 

I'd like to get the leather arm rests for the doors from Moss Mini?

http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPr...teIndexID=47664

and the euro under steering wheel shelf
and maybe a rear strut bar
and maybe front lights and bar (not necessary Piatt, but the original style from Mini type.)

All right my allowance is now spent for the next 6 monts.

 

hey louis, good to see you here on NAM more often. the euro parcel shelf doesn't take up more room than you have now. you'll have to remove that cover that's near your knees and the shelfs fits in up there. as a matter of fact, you'll probably have a little more space with this shelf.

eh, take randall motoring....he could use some fresh air!

 

thanks for the info...maybe we should get spinners as a group buy..

i'll check with him, know he is pretty busy now a days with his band...

 

--haha! OOooh heck yeah! Put me down for a set of 4 of dose bad boys! Maybe we could get a giant Mini logo that spins.

--pyratio

 

will need to prototype the spinners with the walmart spinner hubs tied strapped to my mini lites...hahahaha...

 

ok ok so maybe first on the list will be a call to WALMART, we will see what a dozen or so hubcap chrome spinners will go for .


It sounds like you guys like the euro shelves........maybe after i talk to walmart i will look into the parcel shelves.

 

this should be a DIY item?

 

not DIY but a group buy system for PURCHASING power....or something to that effect.

 

i'm open for one..=)
