Pillow Set: Headrest: Union Jack Pattern Stitch
Are the pillows available in checker pattern? I've seen them offered on Ali Baba, but didn't want to deal with the import issues required when ordering directly from China. I would purchase the checker design if available.

Thanks so much, I installed the MSD coil, MSD 8.5 mm wires and Iridium plugs. Mini runs much better, even idles at lower rpms and seem smoother in all gears.
I'm thinking it will pay for it's self in gas saving in short order.
Thanks again for offering these products.
Best Regards,

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,

Just purchased the Black "slat" Grill to replace the standard chrome slat grill on my R56, I installed it with the original chrome trim pieces, looks fantastic for $100. Not knowing what I was doing at first and it still only took 10 mins. to install.

Synopsis: R series explored
In 2007, MINI launched its Generation 2 starting with a re-vamp of the original R50 and R53 S.

R56
R56 S

From here on, MINI has consistently released the Cooper and Cooper S versions of each model under the same R series designations. The 2nd Gen MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hatchback maintain a few Gen 1 features, including two doors, a rear hatch, and front and rear seats. However, it branches into a re-engineered platform incorporating many stylistic and engineering changes. The use of a new engine makes the Gen 2 more cost-effective and fuel-efficient.
