Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Overland Park/69hwy this morning. Red Cooper S, blonde driving, MO plate "Minny Me" or something like that.

That is a really good price!

I'd love to have this done to my car, but it has quite a few chips as well.

Though the silver scoop I bought has 3m film on it...so thats one thing that won't chip I suppose.

Does anybody have some nice quality pics of some group gatherings? Ideally just cars, perhaps lined up at a Sonic or...something?

RSVP'd

The heaters in mine seem pretty weak even on the "2" setting.

Auto trans - a mixed bag here. In general it works very well, except............I'd like it to use the "sport" profile all the time, but when I do engage the sport button, it won't use 6th gear on the hiway. Even if I manually engage it using the "flappy paddles" (as Clarkson ca...

This is a default phpBB3 theme, that is why.

I can make/mod us a pretty one if we like.

So, the previous owner spent time and money to chrome it up, and you're spending time and money to unchrome it again! :o :lol: I'm pretty sure he ordered/installed the Uber-Mega-Chrome Package. It came with chrome grille, chrome scoop, chrome mirror caps, chrome rear hinges, chrome thingie-above-li...

It looks....stock. Its literally just swapping out the optional chrome grille/scoop for the original color-matched parts.

So I managed to finally find a used Pure Silver hood scoop and upper grille (to replace the chrome ones on mine). Oddly after a bit of searching for used ones, BOTH turned up on NAM in the same week or two. The grille I got was from an 03 so I had to re-use the chrome ring on my 06. So last night I ...

Looks good. Though as I said on KCSR once....paint that lower/middle grille! It looks off w/ the aero upper. I would do a vinyl wrap or some matte black spray or something.

What rims are those?

Let me know where people are staying as well. I need to verify I can get the days off work.

Bah, somebody did thread necromancy and I missed it.

I have some chrome caps I'll trade you for those nice black ones!

May 16th is my birthday (yay, 30!) so it might be a nice get-away.

Anybody from KC going to this? We are tentatively interested.

OK, should be fine then as I can re-use my chrome surround. This would just be the center bars. Thanks!

Hopefully he can get the scoop as well so I can break up this "as much chrome as possible" selection the original owner went with.

I swore this was documented someplace but I can't for the life of me find out.

Are there any differences in the mountings of the 2002-2006 Cooper S grills?

There is a guy on NAM selling a pure-silver upper grill and possibly middle grill and I would like to get them to replace my chrome one.

My in-laws live basically at 183rd and Mission. Makes for a nice drive when I have to go out there.

I feel a lot safer in my own 06 convertible after seeing this. Glad to hear he wasn't hurt at all.

I should also mention that you can use the same database for the migration. Just use a different prefix for the tables. I did that on the above Warcraft forum yesterday, worked great.

There isn't really an upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0. What you do is actually stand up the new phpBB3 system on a seperate database. They have a tool that will then attach to the existing 2.0 database and dump everything to the new 3.0 one. So its a "side-by-side upgrade". Also note that themes (...

This is like the echo of my tire post about a month back! I too was jumping between the Eagle F1, Potenza Grid, and the ASX's. I ended up ordering the Eagle F1's. Tire Rack did a nice real-snow test and the Eagle F1's came out on top for snow traction. They also had the highest treadwear rating of t...
