    Your'e getting into JCW territory with that price Don... I just wish I could trade the sun roof for the Xenon headlights, and mine would be perfect for me!

    MINI has a 25W Xenon retro-fit, but all set up its about $1K to do, so thats going to have to wait a while. Still doesn't solve the 90 pounds of glass above my head problem though. :(

    With the 71 degrees it is outside that roof is wide open! Now how do I take the doors off?

    Both of mine are non smoking cars now. :) So nice to not have everything smell like an ashtray!

    I don't smoke inside my house, even though my wife grew up around smokers. I smoke in my cars, but then, they ARE mine. I also smoke on my patio in nice weather and on my enclosed porch with windows cracked open and 2 oscillating high mounted wall fans running when the weather is rotten.

    Truth be told, I can no longer tell whether my cars sell of smoke anymore or not, but even then, I always have a window or my sunroof cracked open a bit just to let the smoke out. :ihih:

    Theres 5 good ones, and the rest looks like I follow gravel trucks for a living! It needs replaced not just filled. ;)

    The paint on the hood is also seeing a good bit of abuse, but I know a guy... :p

    Oh and I forgot to update... The pink tail lights where installed on their respective R60 in less than 24 hours of being painted... I even did the install while the owner was in a MITM meeting. [emoji41]

    Well all thats left is snapping the brake ducts back in...

    Cant wait to see it in the sun, and without the water spots. Every time I paint, it rains... Not a lot, just enough to turn Porkey into a cheetah. [emoji20]
