sick MINI you've got there. I really like it. Pepperwhite is one of my favorites.

Bonnet stripes would look fantastic along with the checkered roof. Would match your floormats

Riggs let us know what dealer says?
R56 might need some mod to fit but if they got these they should have the R56 Recarros too.

Yep huge fan of the Smiths and Morrissey!
I like all music of that genre from the Cure, Depeche Mode, OMD, Echo & the Bunnymen, to Siouxsie & the Banshees. Luckily, I was part of that gen, still remember hearing these bands on the radio. Might of only been in 5th grade or so but still remember.

Back to thread: I just love those Recaro seats. (Euro Spec GP seats)

Wondering, could you drive down to the MINI dealers in Mexico and have them installed? then drive back and say, "no, we didn't buy anything"?

I like Depeche Mode and the deftones quite a bit. I still hear them on a radiostation where I live.

I'm in Tijuana, if you guys still interested, I can stop by and ask about the Recaros.

By the way, they are no longer called Barone, they are now called Esher Tijuana. Here's their website address:
