DHL guy woke me up this morning. 5 days over the weekend, not bad. I asked for DHL. It was on the news last week but some people are following the UPS truck and stealing the packages they leave on the pourch. Property crimes...Spokane police doesn't deal with that...although they do announce it on the news. They didn't have Fed-x or regular mail. 40 pounds each for delivery 69 pounds for the item. I think I got a discount along the way

ok, but in case you want to know,,, the website is on the first page of this thread. it's a UK based company, so it means that the shipping cost is twice as much as the cost of the product. and also the DHL won't leave the merchandize in your doorstep UNLESS you sign the recieved documents...which means if you work a 9 to 5 job and living alone in an apartment,good luck if you'll ever get your parts...yes DHL is safe but not as flexible as UPS and Fedex. it's weekend and you intend to replace the parts or do an upgrade in your mini BUT the DHL came yesterday ,nobody was here and they didnt leave the parts...does it ruin your weekend or not??

not until they(DHL) leave a piece of paper inserted in your front door stating that they came and nobody signed the paper so they didnt leave the product, and they also state in the piece of paper to check in the small box if you want them to leave the part even if the paper is not signed out....they should have discussed these things with buyer before they even ask you to agree and pay so uneccessary delays can be avoided......seeesh!!!

let's see what saggy has to say..he just went online right now

Since 2001 when I won the 1st place people's choice award at MMW, every time I bring this car out to an event I win another award. I have a wall full of them. But I'm tired of winning awards w/this rallye monte-carlo copy. Now it's time to shake thing up and see if it still happens. Dignity...cute stuff, when you have as many awards as I do then you can tell me/others what looks good and what works or doesn't work for winning awards with your mini, until then stfu. And according to statute as long as my lights don't enter another vehicles passenger compartment I'm good to drive with them...

make sure you put your cursor over the pictures.

Oh boy, give the mini some dignity please. those things are as bad as a union flag on the roof! Not only do they not serve any useful function but they cut down on lighting that wasn't that brilliant to start with.......................

Mini's are like buses they come along in a bunch

Whoops...I like them, I just ordered a pair. I think I'm going to go more outlaw with my monte carlo rally mini...I'm going to paint the roof rack black/green attach an Acropolis rally sign and put those evil eyes on. I think i'm going to like this.

It looks tired. I need to see a full frontal shot with both headlights.

haha, maybe sir Spitz hasn't seen the Evil eyed headlights at night when it's on...it looks so sharp and looks so manly...it decreases the feminine look of the stock classic mini for about 80%.

Sir mal, i posted a pic of my evil eye headlight on my recent posts above...pls look and tell me what you think...
