The F56 is just ugly. I'm trying to like it, but I can't, I really can't.

 

You owe me $276.00. On your advice, I tried that, both lenses cracked, and the frames refuse to participate in any further in any visual endeavors.

 

Maybe Stevie Wonder's glasses would help me.

 

Oh my, put the cammo back on. What is it with MINI? Release a new convertible in November?? ut:

 

I too am trying. The eye doc said I'm 20/20 corrected. When I see one of those I wish my vision was a bit blurrier.

 

Fit your R53 colored glasses, it looks much better then.

 

Send me the notarized receipt, cracked lenses and frames to verify you did get real R53 colored glasses and not a cheap Mynes/M7 knockoff made by The 'STANS



Once we here at M/A World HQ receive the item back and determine if they are actual R53 Colored Glasses(tm) we will make up more onerous regulations and create a chart of fees that make no sense.

 

I found them in an ad in MC2, right next to an ad for a MINI themed fur lined toilet seat. That should be good enough.

 

Oh boy a MINI themed fur lined toilet seat! Sounds much better than the faux carbon fiber M7 one I have.

 

I just can't get past preferring the looks and driving experience of the Gen. 2 MINIs over the Gen. 3 ones.

I had a new 2015 Gen. 2 Cabrio as a dealer loaner for a couple of days this week. It was a decent ride, once you got past a little cowl shake and the lack of noise isolation and insulation in the top. The temperature was subzero both days, so the electronic nannies wouldn't let me put the top down, but even on the most basic stripper-model tires, it handled really well on snow and ice.

 

I'll bet it's warmer, too! :devil:

 

If it's a drop head, dang it, drop the head.
Doesn't look too bad from the rear but the blow hole is on the wrong side. No comment on the front. I'll leave that to those who can counter their impulses more gracefully.

 

There's a recall on the OEM heated one. Electrical shortage. You don't want to see the photos that came with the NHTSA report.

Ummmm we are talking 1st Gens not 2nd Gens and the 3rd Gen is just a rolling abortion of car design.

 

Ummmm ... I'm talking 2nd Gen. vs. 3rd Gen., because that's my experience and perspective. I didn't see anything here about this thread being limited to Gen. 1 references.

 

An R53 is a 1st Gen so R53 glasses would be first gen glasses.
