My MINI is gone! bittersweet...

Well, my beloved MINI is gone. As much as I LOVE this car, it was time to let it go, needed something bigger. Thanks to all the help from people on this forum! I've moved on to a 07 525i. BMW's 0.9% financing is great! lol. I'll be putting all the parts for sale in the marketplace. I WILL def be back to MINI once I can afford it as a second car.

Thanks again!

R.I.P

Going to be parting out next weekend when I get through finals. Ive got some pm's on stuff so we'll see how that goes.

The mots pm's I got when I put the car up for sale were for the wing! LOL for all to know this is the wing...

Its a pricey option...you WILL need a stock cooper spoiler, you will also need to properly align and drill into the stock spoiler AND the frame of the trunk. It is a very custom job, and while the drilling of the trunk might throw some off, its really an enthusiast mod

It is possible to not drill into the frame, instead attach the wing and fasten it to the spoiler itself and mount the spoiler like you would your current stock spoiler, however, this does give the wing a lot of play and can potentially damage and/or fall off your car . Total parts will cost $750 for the wing, $300 for a new stock spoiler and lots of Jack Daniels and Painters tape to align becuase its a pain in the ***.
