    I drove my clean MINI in the snow today. Whoo hoo it's fun passing SUV's that can't drive in 2 inches of wet snow.

    Or passing people who can't drive even when it is snowing but no snow is on the ground? Or the people who drove with no lights on when it is approaching sunset and it is snow....:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

    A friend of mine just swapped his...What a difference. I already have the PIAA Extremes in the headlights. They made a big difference. I also installed PIAA Extremes in the reverse lights. Alot brighter. Now I need to find a set of driving lights for the grille.

    Magical lights. :wink:

    I like the yellow color, seem to work better in fog. If you guys turn off the headlights & just leave the parking lights & fogs on you'll see it is your headlights who do most of the work. Xenons FTW. :)

    All this talk of lights has inspired me to aim my driving lights. Thanks!:Thumbsup: For real added performance slap a set of Hella's on the front of your MINI. :biggrin5:

    It had to be a tough call as to which went away. Me I love the R53 GP, but I also really liked the WC50.

    Ha! There were a number of reasons, but I would be happy with either and was fortunate to have both for a while. Anyway, it's done now and moving on.

    See ya soon Monica ;)
