nice!

curious though, how much rougher does the car drive with the aftermarket suspension parts? and how much louder is that exhaust? thanks

The swaybar helps the car corner flatter but doesn't change the ride quality. Some of them squeak but I bought this one because they are known for not squeaking. I planned to put the stock swaybar in before selling, but I'd leave it in if a buyer wanted it.

The exhaust is not much louder. I posted a sound clip of it in the exhaust thread a while back. It's big advantage is that it's stainless so it won't rust andit looks cooler. It might add a few hp too.

Interested? I'd drive it to Ann Arbor for you and fly home

The parcel shelf is sold, but if that is a deal breaker for you buying the car I'll find another one

Yes indeed we are! Husband fell in love with my Mini the minute he drove it. It's been a tug-of-war since as to who motors when the Harmini's going out for a spin. When I found out about this one, husband flopped right over. 'Specially when it's in his favorite color!

Now we're going to play tug-of-war as to how often I get to motor in HIS car!

Black looks awesome as long as it's clean, which doesn't last very long. They say a black car is a full time job, and we have two of them now by chance more than choice... I guess I should just start buying stock in Meguiars

I'm so glad this is going to a good home! Hopefully we end up with a Mini again down the road.

The sway bar is yours for sure, it's alot of work to get it out especially when it's this cold and I wasn't planning on it going anywhere.

One thing though - I forgot to mention that a condition of the sale is that you give us first right of refusal if you ever sell it
