looking good!

 

$50 sport tips? That's a sweet deal... I was thinking about getting them, but I figured they might vibrate and cause more rattles in my MINI.

Do you hear vibrating?

 

They mount the exact same way the beer can tips do. No rattles.

dang i want these! ; )

 

hoopnv, what are those red plates, what do they do?

 

Help prevent mushrooming.

 

Nice to see someone that's not afraid to put their license plates on the web. ;-)
I can't decide if I like the look of these pipe attachments or the original pipes more. I suppose if the original pipes were crusty and couldn't be shined, then this would be the way to go.

 

Its on display all over town every day.

I've been to the mushrooming thread but to this day, I still don't know what it is.

 

i love showing my license plate off.

ps noone can steal our cars unless they have your keys so what are you afraid of?!?!?

 

to sum it up, it's the front strut towers mushrooming due to the impact front suspension has to soak up from road bumps.

it will throw off your alignment and so on... and reforcing the top of the strut towers by using one of the strut tower plates (like the set of Cravens I have), it will somehow help prevent the strut tower from deforming.

in order to completely eliminate the problem, it's a good idea to have camber plates along with the plates.

 

Would it be possible if anyone could send over the item number for these to markylewis@aol.com i live in the UK and i am trying to get some shipped over cheap :-) love them
Thanks Mark

 

Notice that the tips from Morristown Mini state that they are chrome, not stainless steel so they eventually will rust. Outmotoring has a nice set of stainless steel tips for about $100.

 

If you put a quantity of "2" in your cart, since these are sold as "ONE set of TWO items", the system will understand that you are ordering 2 sets(totalling 4 tips), that's why the increase in price

 

I got a set from Morris Town MINI for 79 bucks but the two locking hex screws which secure them to the OEM pipes were froze. I had to heat them up with a torch to get them loose.....

I suppose I could have sprayed them with some penetrating oil of some kind, drove it for a little while to heat them up and tried to remove them then.

But yeah, I have same tips, and painted inside of tips with flat black spray enamel. When I got them inside was painted light gray.....

 

Sorry to dissapoint ya, but this set being sold by Morristown MINI are polished stainless steel, and they are about $87.00US shipped NEW.

You can call them if you don;t believe me....

 

Omg....I said I wasnt I going to buy anymore things for my car for at least a month after ordering that DDM CAI this week but...i............must.............have.......... ...........these..........

 

I'm not dissapointed, I'm just pointing out what the web site says. I'm actually thrilled as I had planned on buying a set in about 2 weeks and now you've saved me some money!!! If they were actually chrome, then they're overpriced. They really ought to clarify or they may lose sales just like they about lost mine.
