free painted MIDNIGHT BLACK R56 headlight and trim rings... see details inside.

Here we go again... pay attention!



I’ll make this super easy. Since orange is apparently my new favorite color, the first person that can tell me how many M&M peanuts are in this jar, they will win a set of headlight trim rings painted in MIDNIGHT BLACK.









The contest will end next Sunday at midnight. At the end of the allowed time, if the correct number has not been guessed, the person closest without going over will win.



There are a few rules this time.

1) In order to qualify, you must have a minimum of 50 posts.

2) This is for the front headlight trim rings only. If you want the rears done, it’s on you. (65.00)

3) Shipping will be 15.00

4) You must post pics when installed.

5) one guess per member


Simple really... one more thing, if you want me to supply the headlight rings so you don’t have to take yours off and ship them to me, I believe the cost of new rings is about 50 bucks for a pair.

Good luck!



Mark

Cool idea Mark! This guess brings me to exactly 100 posts...phew! I would love to replace the plastidip on my rings with proper MB paint.

Here's to hoping...75 m&ms

There are a few rules this time.

1) In order to qualify, you must have a minimum of 100 posts. Unfortunately, the last time I made an offer like this I painted front and rear sets, trim and never saw a post on the forum from them after that. Talk about ungrateful. I never even charged shipping.

So, if you don’t have 100 posts to your name, you can’t play...sorry.

2) This is for the front headlight trim rings only. If you want the rears done, it’s on you. (65.00)

3) Shipping will be 15.00

4) You must post pics when installed.

Mark, one more rule suggestion....Limited to one guess per person!

No guess for me, I have an R53. Nice touch with the kind offer though.

Hey all, I'm withdrawing my guess because I missed the "R56" part of this thing ( I have an R50). If you want to use the number 53, go for it.

Hey orangecrush is it 50 or 100 post. There is two sets of rules. Mark if it is 50, than my guess is 89. If not than I will try to get post more.
Thanks Rob

It’s 50... I had it at 100 but I wanted to give newer members a fair chance.

I guess that the number of M&Ms in the jar is the exact amount that you will count when you dump it out...

If I have to put a number to it, 96.

Well, actually, the amount in there is a little less than what I originally counted out. Some accidentally fell into my mouth.
