My Mini turned ten grand today. Not one problem. Tomorrow I'm giving it a Magnaflow cat-back and a Mini-madness intake to celebrate. I wanted to do the Mini driving light package from the dealer but they wanted 800.00 bucks for the package and labor to install. Somebody pick me up off the floor!!
What will you give your Mini at 10K or what have you given? :smile: :smile:

I've seen the driving lights for less than $400 aftermarket with dealer style brackets and all. Don't remember which one so you'll have to search. The dealer's just try to rip you.
Congrats on the miles!

Yep, I've seen them for 375. at Mini-Madness but then you have to pay someone the three to four hours needed to install. Wish I knew someone to do the work besides the dealer!!

I saw the PIAA lights somewhere on MCO today (01/14/03).

They look sweet !!! might wanna check those out. They are slightly larger than the factory lights (which I think they is needed) and I am sure they are bright.

I already have the factory lights and I would be happy to trade them in on the PIAA kit !!!

10K---- Nice, now your Cooper is hitting Puberty! I have 14620 on mine as of today and I love it.

The more I drive my car... the more I wanna drive my car.
