Your a modding fool!

Just when I thought I would have enough parts and pieces for my car to be close to your modded out cool Mini, you go and get another cool item for it!

Congrats on it! I might want to get together with you and another member of the WCM and install all my things I have.

The right bit is incredibly important when it comes to drilling those. The right bit can make the job much easier. Glad it went well

Did you get a chance to take them out for a ride? What do you think?

If they weren't yellow would you still have gotten 'em?
Sorry, seriously, how much difference have you noticed with these?
I'm about due for more suspension mods!

Well I will have to talk to the other Mad Modder in the club and see if he would either help me at his/my place or see if you and I could do it at the shop on base if you wouldn't mind helping. I think I could do everything except I would like his help with the camber plates.
