I bought amilgarcia's and will post pictures when I've got them installed.

I went to the link provided above and was all set to buy them until I noticed that the $79.00 cost is each. Now I know why used ones sell so fast.

From the morristown site:

In the spirit of racing, the chrome sport exhaust tips designed for the MINI Cooper S provide a distinct visual and auditory enhancement. Set of two. Price does not include installation.
This item fits years: 2003 - 2006
