all of these are awesome! I totally would have ordered this color had they still had it. I ordered DS instead, but would LOVE to get some EB mirror caps... anyone know where I can score some?

So far as I know, they never made EB mirror caps! I want some too!

That's my understanding too.

The best thing to do would be to take your white caps to a body shop. I bet they can paint them for less than $50.

Ahhh this thread has been buried for 2 months! We need to pump some life into this sucker!

Lets see some EB spirit!

Here's the MINI driving away from the body shop it lived at for EIGHT weeks! (June-July of '06) That would be my mother Carole and my dog Fuzzy in the driver's seat.

And here's the MINI sitting in some ice. He got stuck. (Tires are bald) So, I had to wait until someone got home to drive it while i pushed.... lol This was the same day that I had to change the flat tire on the LR3 in 28 degree F weather.

That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it...

Terrible shame they got rid of EB.. That's why I'm going with laser blue for my 07 =) It's not the same but it's the closest I could get!

Here are a couple of pics from a recent update. I had my 18" OZ wheels powder coated black, aero kit installed with color matched trim, and JCW aero wing custom painted to match.

Here's a badge for you.

I took this photo on the day I picked up my new car. It was in the showroom, and I got to drive it out, which was a quite a small (but oh-so-big) thrill!

Wow! That is such a beautiful photo! Do you by chance have the full res version? I'd LOVE to set that as my wallpaper, but its 1440 x 900.

Thanks for the compliment. It's funny you should say that about turning it into wallpaper. That image is the wallpaper on one of my 2 screens right now...

The largest version I have of it is 1280 x 1024 @ 72 ppi. You could probably stretch it to fit, without too much blurring or distortion...

Do you want me to email it to you? PM me, and I can send it to you.

So glad to see there are still people here!!! Hey, I really like the same color dash. Mines the patina one, dont much care for it anymore. I also like the fact that you painted your trim, looks sharp!

Saying hello to my EB friends. I just bought a 03 EB MCS today. Going to pick it up this week. I already checked it out and drove it and all I have to say...it drives like its on rails.

I will post some pictures soon.

NOOB question: I've looked in the "search" and I cant really find info on the fog lights that sit right below the bonnet lines on the hood. Whats required to put them on? Where can I get a good set? Hows installation?
