It's here!
 
After waiting for almost two months, it finally arrived!
Drove for an hour around the town and I was amazed at how tight and neutral the car felt the whole time.
It's gonna be a fun winter for me playing in the snow with my R and mini with snow tires!

G55 and R32? Jeez, poor MINI must feel so gutless to drive :)

In all seriousness, congrats and enjoy it.

Welcome to NAM! Nice MINI!

The pin from the trunk kit should work. Try pulling a little harder... :lol:

Welcome to NAM!! The hubcaps do not pop off after being pried on. That's why your pin bent. Instead, insert the pin in the small hole and pull the cap off [of course, you could also use an ice pick with a bent tip to do the same thing].
