Wet Okoles are awesome! I've had them for over a year, they were my first mod on my 06MCC. They reduce the sweaty back syndrome by 90%. And they ad a little more comfort to the stock seats. I highly recommend them.

Nice placement! I actually considered that as well, but on the chromed side grille I was worried that it would dissappear. LOoks GREAT on black, though!

Damnit, now I know what my next mod has to be. I've been meaning to get some Cooper side vents to put on it, but those Supercharged badges make it look perfect! Why the orange lense though? Black or white would look cleaner IMO

Thanks.........

I attached them by "Super-gluing" two small screws to the back of the 'SUPERCHARGED' emblem, and drilled two holes through the black vent, then backed it with a lock washer and nut.

I traded out the clear lens for the Orange one because the MINI is orange and it looks better IMHO (I kept going back and forth between them, and finally picked orange).
