R56 Please post pictures of your R56 here...
Black was a good choice for the lamps. They look good with everything else.
Buy it from Morristown and install it yourself! You'd just need to find a decent, non-expensive paint shop to spray it for you to save a considerable amount of money on it. The install is simple.
Yeah it aint cheap :( If installed at the VDC it gets added to the financing, so that softened the blow slightly
Should have saved the money on the mods for your future increased taxes.

it is an R56.....the mod is the cf on my bumper and arches...thought you guys would see it...no one else has anything like it from what I've seen....just because i have a bumper sticker and am in front of the White House with red lights has nothing to do with my post
by the way, MINI just re tuned my JCW and it's completely different....pure power and covered by warranty....wahooooo!

Really? Interesting. Was yours defective or is this something they're doing to all JCW kits?

From what I hear from my dealer, MINI put the car on the market before working out the kinks and you just have to put up with it (sort of like listening to Hillary debate). There is a lot of back and forth with Germany on software issues and it's pretty common to have the CEL come on a lot, requiring trips to the dealer to work on your "puma" case. It's like a custom tune, similiar to the Alta chip problems if you have been following that thread.

How do you like the H&R springs? improve handling? Also did you get the springs before or after the wheels because I'm trying to figure out how much of the wheel gap I can eliminate while keeping my stock 15"

Hey Flaco, Nice R56S pics, regardless.
Hey, on the new JCW tune, can you send me a PM or start a thread on engine mods? I'm very interested in what you've done to add to the "wahoooo! factor."
Many thanks.
