This is a review of the M12 stud conversion kit for the R53 MINI Cooper S. This is the second stud kit that I have installed. The first set was of much lessor quality and was totally worn out within six years of auto-x, track days and winter tire change-over.
These new studs appear to be far superior and slightly longer. I also like the unthreaded portion that allows lining up the nut to help prevent cross threading.
I do have one question; Do you recommend any using any lubrication on the threads of the studs?

Just received my latest order for the R56 Gloss black hood scoop. Easy Install and great fit. Only issue is the gloss finish has major swirl scratches. Not sure if this was a return that got put back on the self or came from factory this way.

Recently ordered the "secret" compartment for my 2021 Mini Cooper S. Aaron was instrumental in assuring that I ordered all the correct parts, as well as ancillary hardware. He also helped solve a
issue with the retractable door that wasn't functioning as it should. I could not have asked for better service.
