Caveat emptor

 

Your wrong though because i had my body guy straiten them out so they all fit now and paid for that also.. im just not running them.
may I ask what your intentions are ? Do you have intrest in buying these ???? If not , save ur comments and move along.
kinda glad you brought it up though.
I PAID ANOTHER 120$ ONTOP OF THE ORIGINAL 500$ , TO HAVE THESE STRAITENED OUT !!!!!! And they've been painted. So save alot of time and money with mine.. absolutely DONOT buy these from mini.uk , they will not fit upon arrival and will need to be taking to a bodyshop to be worked over WITH your car so they could make sure the contours and curves are all correct and strait.

 

Adam, you need to take your own advice.

One may may have sold for an outrageous price but that doesn't justify that price..
Something is only worth what someone's willing to pay for it and with these being reproduced , I don't see how your gonna get anything close to 1k$. I feel like if you wanna sell it you will but your gonna have to be realistic about it.
unfortunately its out of stock for the r53's but they got the r56 ones available still and those are under 300$ shipped even..

I'm asking 350 plus shipping only lol ur a fool ! These are still OVER 500$ If you want them.. every company charges outrageous shipping prices ontop of their initial price of these. So if you think 350 isn't a good price , move along with ur 1000 shift light lolol
mine are brand new, custom worked and still priced below ANY ANYWHERE . CAN you say the same or are you just looking to make money off us ? Unlike you , I'm not. I'm just trying to get rid of them , not make money at the communities expense..jerk

 

That’s not the point…Adam

 

It is the point ITS EXACTLY MY POINT

 

My point is I get sick of people find something cool in a junkyard and list it on here for 10x what it's worth because it's " rare" .. be realistic, it's doing that that's gonna run these cars out of relevance . Lol 1000$ shift light 🤣 😅 😴 😂
sell it for what it's really worth or don't bother. If you wanna show it off post in pics section not for sale section.

 

So now we have to make sure the items for sale meet your pricing structure, otherwise you’ll flame the ad. Comparing a very hard to find item, to a 3D printed piece of crap for a different car is just a little silly Adam. Yes it’s over priced, but he put OBO, if you wanted to make a realistic offer, then go for it, otherwise, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you even track pricing on items like this, I don’t think you do. Because you’re too busy buying junk off EBay.

 

Adam, take a few minutes to look through this link. You may not like or agree with it, but every item you see listed, sells for 2-3 times original price, for two reasons. One is they are NLA, second, they were optional upgrades that not many ordered to begin with. It’s just the way it works. If you don’t care for these upgrades, or don’t want to pay the asking price when you find one, there’s a line of willing buyers behind you. For example, a JCW steering wheel will easily sell for $7-900 and rising. https://www.thejcwregister.com/1stgenoptions

 

if theres a line waiting then why are the adds constantly reposted n popping up ???? And I made an offer on it, more than fair but was still declined and when I asked what they'd legit take, it was commical. Imo what it is is people using this forum just to try and make money off of us. It's shady to see them ONLY post rare items for outrageous prices. I know exactly what they're doing. I bet alot of them have other rare parts to other cars on other forums massive overpriced just hoping that one guy, who ABSOLUTELY needs or wants it buys it.
if it's a good price blablabla than they will sell it it rite ?

 

As usual, there’s no point in arguing with you about something you know little about. There is a full spectrum of Gen1 MINI owners here. Everyone from a Frankenstein daily commuter pieced together from a salvage yard, to low mile pristine garage queens with every available option. You have to appreciate both, and everyone in between. Most rare items are sold within a day or two, if fairly priced. You never see them because they’re gone. Most people looking for rare pieces don’t check here everyday, that’s why some things are re listed, you have to wait for a buyer looking for that particular part to log in. I’ve picked up some great pieces here, so you shouldn’t beat down listings that you don’t want or can’t afford, you ruin it for the rest of us. Let’s let the market determine pricing so we don’t discourage people from listing things here. I’m sure you can appreciate that.
I do agree with you that an overpriced part will not sell no matter how rare, but you have to know a lot about that part to determine if it’s over priced. FYI a Gen1 shift light in excellent condition typically sells for $6-800, a 3D repro for an R56 is not a good comp.

 

your nit picking. I told you the r53s were out of stock but they're the same price..
if they were good deals , they'd sell...
And our difference in opinions shows why we're 2x very different kind of people.

 

Is it the OEM part you’re not understanding.

 

Hello, do you have anymore pictures of them installed on the car to show fitment across all six pieces? The angles on the black car are hard to make out, and it seems only one corner is shown.

Thanks!

 

no. They're brand new never installed.
I'd have to tape them on just to get pics. I can't hold on 2x front fenders pieces and take a pic at the same time..pm me if your really interested and we could exchange #s and i could take send some pics..

 

Here's a pic of them on MY car AFTER they've been straightened out.. I'm in process of clear coating them now also, I got the rear 2x Done already.

 

Thanks for the extra pictures.

The drivers side is equal in fit to the passenger side shown? Sucks you have them reworked and then didn't install them.

What products were used to paint them? Why are you clearing them now? 1K clear? 2K clear?

Thanks again.

 

1k matte finish and a high gas/oil resistant.. ille post pics of the paint n stuff I used.

 

I will trade these for a coolerworx or similar style aftermarket shifter also , I could possibly add some cash too to sweeten the deal...
if these arnt spoken for by the time my body guy comes to finish my car I will just end up installing them as they do look pretty sweet on the car.

 

Here's the paint used and finished with that was requested....
