^ i agree, cute looking air freshener

it's been more than a month since my EB MINI has been on jackstands dropped off the "new" rims for repainting last friday but only have time next week to get them. since Goodyear Asymmetric doesn't come in 215/40R17, i'm going with Nitto Neo Gens after the rims and tires, just need to install a new front right wheel sensor, have the rear rotor hats & bearing nuts spray painted and he's good to go!

What can you tell us about these gauges in the a/c holes? I know that it can be done, but I love the look of those gauges.

Here's the most recent pic of my 04 MCS. I've only had time to upgrade the stereo and paint the wiper arms.

finally saw my MINI at my cousin's body shop a month after a minor fender bender. they had a hell of a time trying to paint-match the affected ares with the rest of the car so i had them do the entire lower half of the instead! (roof was untouched). also had them black-out the headlight rings & the scoop to match the headlight rings & debadged the rear (had them take out the COOPER S). everything should be done in 2 days

I had figured out through my own research that those were Swoosh gauges, and that Swoosh are sub prime, and that they make lots of noise, and don't react that fast.
