Side Marker Housing: Right: Black Aero w/ Clear Light
The Roadster I just purchased is black & I find that I prefer to replace the chrome with black. These are about the only replacement side scuttles in black I could find. I know there is limited replacement parts in all black so there are few choices to offer. However this one just looks cheap. The plastic just doesn't look like it fits on the car. Perhaps because it is dull as opposed to the piano black Mini uses currently. This is the only all black replacement I have found but think I may try another way to get the side scuttle's chrome covered.

Hello, My order #xxxxx. I was very happy with the quick delivery. I checked the contents-then put the box aside. When "life 's other stuff" got handled, I looked through the box again and saw the blue fob strip. First I thought it was added in error & was thinking "Crap, how do I get this back to them?" Then I saw the note from Chris. I wanted to get back and let you know how much I appreciated that. So kudos to the company and everyone that handled my order.

Now I want to buy more "stuff" for my mini!

You got a great team.

I have ordered from Aaron a couple of times. He had parts that no one, to include parts houses, had and got them to me quickly. Seriously just 2 days. Aaron and I emailed back and forth about an address change that needed to be made post order, because of a blunder on my end. He handled it and things went well. A crazy motor head, and 9 emails later Aaron had things going the right direction. Kudos to him and the team at OM!!!!

Synopsis: Find the best way to get your MINI R53 Cooper S or R52 Cooper S convertible up to speed.
We're finding that MANY used gen1 MINIs are coming up for sale and they're being snatched up quickly by people wanting a dedicated race car or a daily driver that has more character and spunk than their current ride. Many have been following the MINI brand for years but for one reason or another have not been able to land one in their driveway. Now that a 2003 R53 can be purchased for as low as $4500 they're well within reach of first time car owners and seasoned drivers alike.

We have been getting lots of calls asking about how to get more power out of the supercharged engine. The easy answer is to get our Stage 2 Speed Kit. You will likely find that on a older Gen1 MINI the stock exhaust is rotted and the spark plug wires are shorting out, plugs need to be replaced along with a few other things. Replacing the intake, exhaust, spark plugs, spark plug wires, supercharger pulley and intake will get the MINI going. It's not uncommon to hear customers say they did these mods and can now keep up with a John Cooper Works MINI from the same model range (R53/R52). For a fraction of the cost of the factory JCW kit you can not only replace stuff that needs replacing but also get a WHOLE bunch of power for under $1300 plus installation. It's a no brainer folks.
