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?

03 Mini R50 hatchback. I ordered and received the Aux jack. The company delivered as advertised. The instructions were a bit vague. However, with the help of \"youtube\", I managed to install with little to no trouble. Product works great! No complaints.

I am a new Mini Cooper convertible owner. The car I bought had a busted rear third brake light. The lights worked just fine, but the red plastic cover was missing. I expected it to be very expensive, however, I went on an online search and found OutMotoring.com. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had what I needed, and it was not expensive at all - far less than I expected! Other sites were charging more than twice as much! ordered it on the 12th, had it by the 15th (and I didn't pay expedited shipping).
I also need to get some replacements for the rear belt line trim...unfortunately those are a bit pricier, but still competitive with other sites.
I will definitely be ordering parts from here in the future!
