What did you do to your mini today?

Btw, your comment is what makes this a car community, and not just a forum.
Thanks!

Today? Well......
First, she got tints:
Then...
A few toys came in:
New side markers They came with amber bulbs, but I kept the clear ones in (they still blink amber).
As you can see in the pic, she got new valve stems. I couldn't get a good enough pic of them with my phone, so I'll have to whip out the close-up option on my real camera soon.
Now I gotta clean her...sometime...

^^^ I'm glad I ordered the white side markers. My car came with the same bulbs that you show in that pic - I decided to move them inside and move the footwell bulbs out to the markers. But they blink white, not amber.
I'm glad that my interior glows amber, but I wish I had clear bulbs that flashed amber like yours for the side markers. You have a part #?

AutoZone, and just about every other parts chain, as well as Detroit Tuned, and Out Motoring, have amber bulbs that have been diped in a chromish coating. Or you have the option of using the LED bulbs from the parts stores aswell.
The LED's have the longest life, and are the brightest, but dont work well with the internal reflective surfaces inside the light housings.

Got it from Aesthetic Creations. They're discontinuing them so they don't have many options left. http://www.aesthetic-creations.com/p...?id_product=22
It is a 'domed graphic', which means that it has a clear covering that makes it more substantial than just a piece of vinyl. When I ordered it, it was $15!! For the R56 center consoles, you have to cut off a bit of the center part, because the R56 console is somewhat shorter, but it fits great now and I LOVE it! Really wakes up the interior. Like an old British sports car... chrome, color, and a Jack!

Thanks for the reminder, Kirby11, there were some stickers that I wanted from Aesthetic Creations and they were running low on stock. Ordered them this morning. Here is the center stack graphic of theirs that I put on Winnie the MINI recently:
