Installed short shifter kit with no problems except kit did not come with 'o' ring for shifter shaft. Factory 'o' ring was too larger off of OEM shift lever. I would also recommend some good out door adhesive to reinstall dust cover on shift box, because some of the locking tabs may break off when removing. And with this short shifter kit there is no need to modify shifter box as some other products require you to leave dust cover off or purchase a drop cover to accommodate the longer shift lever. Thank you so much Out Motoring for another great product and customer service, Jon

Hi,
I recently purchased the belt tensioner from Alta and had it installed. Had I only known over the past several thousand miles that my shock was bad, I would have changed it sooner. The shop guys brought the old one out to show me that it was completely useless. Since replacing it my mileage has increased dramatically, and performance as well. apparently the drive belt was slipping on the super charger. And power, all I can say is "Yeah, Baby". Thanks guys for making this part available.
Best Regards,
Ron

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.

Synopsis: R series explored
The Convertible MINI was the first MINI Cooper model to be released in base model and S model versions under the same R series designation.

R52
R52 S

In 2004, MINI released a convertible version of the re-introduced MINI. Also a Generation 1, the MINI Cooper Convertible has two doors and front and rear seats. However, the rear of the vehicle forsakes the hatchback of the Hardtop MINI, replacing it with a drop down 'tailgate' that is reminiscent of the classic Mini. It incorporates similarly prominent external hinges. With the roof in the closed position, the rear roof section and luggage shelf can be raised with two handles, semi-tailgate style, to access the luggage space easier.
