HB MINI's Group Buy, Bumperplugs

Ok, need your help folks. Eric over at www.bumperplugs.com stated to get the same pricing as the current pricing for the others in stock, I would need to drum up 6+ sets, otherwise it would be $99.00 for one pair. If we get 6+ it would be $24.95 a pair.

So if you can commit to a pair, in HB, please let me know!!!

If the dealer ends up drilling some holes in my car when we go to pick it up, i'll be in for a pair. Though I have mentioned it about 10 times that I don't want them to drill holes. We'll see what happens.

Only HB? I would want to get a set for my other car if possible.

Not to be a party pooper but this http://www.pro-dec.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.60/.f
And this http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=37519
Work just as well for $80 less. Any MINI owner should already have the touch-up paint and any ACE Hardware has the plugs in stock for $0.99 for a bag of them.

I'm not really into doing it myself, when I can spend the $25.00 bucks and get them done. The $99.00 is ONLY for an order of one, thus me wanting to find 5 other people willing to drop the $25.00 bucks. So the idea of $80.00 less is obviously false. :smile:

They have a few colors already which they offer for the $25.00, Pepper White, Chili Red, etc...No HB, thus this whole post...

$25.00 a pair, HB folks where are you!!!

Okay forgive my ignorance about everything automobile, but from looking at the site you provided, and looking at the boot of my MINI, what would I need these for?

They are used for the holes drilled in the front bumper for the license plate. Not all states require a front plate and the ones that do, not everyone uses a front plate because it doesn't look as good.

My state requires front plates (NY), and I requested that the dealer not install the front plate. If they do, then i'll go ahead and get the bumperplugs....
