I need a hood soon Bryan... You are good at locating stuff, get on it. I can pick it up in the springs when I come down for an army weekend.

 

Haha, I actually have one, but it's pretty borked! I can send pics if you pm me your email.

 

Just sent email...

 

Your PMs are full.....

I'm selling my favorite wheels because they won't fit over the brakes of my new GP2. They are 16"x7" 4x100 bolt pattern.

I'm asking $400 and would consider trading for the right 17" wheel that would fit my GP2 or wife's Countryman.

Looking for a MINI? Know a friend that wants one? Have a teenager that needs a first set of wheels? Look here!

I have a new MINI manual shift boot (#25110417960) in black alcantara (man-made suede) with the standard MINI "silver" trim ring (not the chrome ring). It is made for the R56. It has never been installed and all clips are intact.

This is a nice way to sportify the look of your interior and is good for at least a couple of hp .

Offering it locally to club members for $45.

PM me if interested.

Thanks!

I will be listing my car for sale soon if anyone is interested.

Specs:
2003 MINI Cooper S
Dark Silver
133,000 miles
6-speed manual

Aftermarket parts:
DT bypass valve
Alta Intake
MSD coil

Other than that it's an awesome car. I've had it since June and it hasn't given me any problems even with a trip to Vegas and back during the hottest time of year.

Only reason for selling is my girlfriend has an 04 and we could really use something bigger.

Asking $7,800

 

Either of you who are selling your cars have the chrome interior? I have got to find those pices!

Also cant find the pre facelift justa bumper covers... Will trade S covers, if you pay for paint I will have them resprayed to match.

 

Well, it's time to sell my 2008 Clubman S. I have a listing here ( https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post3840658 ) and also on Denver Craigslist.

Primary reasons I'm selling it is because I have new drivers in my house and I'd rather them learn on a different car, and I'm hoping to find an inexpensive convertible to drive instead.

Thanks!

Hi there! I'm pretty new here but I need me some winters and was going to either turn my R85s into winter wheels or get something like you have for winters and upgrade in the spring to a nice set of lightweight summers. Would you consider trading for my R85s? They have P zeros on them now, but depending on what you want, we can figure something out..

 

Hi Captain,

Welcome to NAM. How long have you had your R53 JCW? Are you interested in autocrossing it? If so, the BMW club here puts on some very nice autocrosses every summer.

My R53 came with R85 wheels which I replaced with the OZ Superleggeras. The change from 22 lb wheels with heavy run flats to non-run flats on a +/- 15lb wheel was a very pleasant surprise to say the least. They were the wheels I ended up using with my autocross tires. If they fit around the brakes of my new car I would happily keep them.

In answer to your question, no, I'm not interested in R85s for my car. Like you, I am looking for something lighter.

My wife's Countryman could use a set of rims for winter tires but the Countryman uses 5 lug wheels.

 

Thanks! I actually just bought the car on Saturday down in Denver from Weisco Motors. It's my first MINI and I'm really excited to be a part of the community. I would most definitely be interested in AX come spring and some track days. I still have a voucher for 3 days at HPR that I didn't get to use this year. Would love to see how my M Coupe and MINI compare on a road course and an autocross.

I completely understand about the wheels, they look the business but are boat anchors. I think I'm gonna get some non-run flat winter tires for these wheels and do a set of alleggeritas with PSSs come spring. This car begs for some light weight wheels!

 

Just an update...

Bought a replacement hood, fenders, 3 piece dash, and chrome grille!

Still looking for: chromeline interior trim rings (NAV/Chrono preferred), chrome boot handle, and pre facelift Justa Cooper bumper covers with chromeline package trim. Possibly an R53 hood scoop ( depending on what I decide to do ).

I've got several items to trade with, or they are going to North Carolina in May to get sold!

 

http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4203161642.html

I'll work a special deal with any locals

 

I've got front and rear rotors for a Countryman S All4. Zimmerman brand, I believe. Ordered from WMW anticipating needing to replace all, but rotors looked really good, so we just replaced pads.

Will have part numbers up tomorrow, but for the curious, we're just looking to recoup most of the price paid--$300 for the four.

 

Chrome interior trim has been found!

Now I just need pre facelift JustaCooper bumper covers! Will trade stock S bumpers and paint to match what you have...

Somebody please help! This project can not be completed without them!

Anybody have interest in a set of R85s with P-zero run flats with gobs of tread left? I have to see exactly how much there is, but I'd say these are in the 70-80% range. Switching to RPF1s when the weather gets warmer, won't be needing these. Shoot me a reasonable offer.

All,

I goofed! Bought Johnna's superleggeras and put tires that are WAY too meaty on them. They're 205/55R16 Dunlop WinterSport 4Ds. If you've got stock offset 16s these will work perfectly but the SLs are about 10mm pushed out so I get rubbing on the fender liners. Also, of note is that I have JCW suspension so I'm a bit lower than your average R53. Non-JCWs and justas should be fine. I paid $392 (after rebate) plus $70 in shipping and $70 in installation so I'm into these for about $550.. They have about 10 miles on them. The first $400 picked up gets them! They'll be off the car next Wednesday.

 

annnnnd the tires are gone. THANKS SNOWSTORM!

 

My girlfriend is also looking her MINI, she just doesn't have time to list it herself. Here it is:

It's awesome little car and very unique.
