I think that the 3rd suprise from the black box should be real photon lazers, c'mon they've been teasing us with stickers, and toggle panels, I'm ready for the real thing!

The only problem..

You cannot see the lights behind this thing. It does not get close enoough to the toggle bank to see at night. I will post a pic tonight.
And i want to see someone send this through the washer machine*
I can use the seat ejector but the thing is you have to have the top down.90% of the time
Will this stop my top from rattleing?


*it says it on the install card.

If someone can install a MINI FINI sports link...well their is your oil slick MINI FINI Link

I know i was joking.
They did say it was indestructable so if i get another one(toggle cover) and shoot photon laser at it would it blow up

The thing is you cannot use all these unless you have a full toggle bank so what will a Oilslick toggle bank cost at the dealeship

spy car army

FWIW... I think it's hilarious that MINI has unleashed a small army of unmarked spy cars! I got mine yesterday! (w00t!) No photo- they all look the same. however, I am already thinking of how to mod the mod...

fun stuff!

I don't have my MINI yet either.

I'm pretty sure that even acknowledging the existence the "black box" may be considered a bit taboo. It's top secret stuff, you know . So discussing the contents of it may take away from the fun and surprise of it.

Spoiler: more pics included

got mine a few days ago and love it! i think this is the coolest, simplest mod yet and will lead to lots of envy from passengers. and since the real pictures on the toggles are bizarro, IMHO, these are much more fun.

great marketing, even though I already own the car!

btw, when I was putting mine one, i thought, no way this is going to work, but this is such a cool little design, it fits on there perfectly.

[and yes, i know i'm not playing with a full toggle panel ]

I made it that way. The second bank controls the IPF and PIAA lights on the front of the car
