I enjoy the winter pics as well and somewhat miss it (note I said SOMEWHAT). It was 75 degrees down here today. Love it.
I do kinda miss not being able to play in the snow abit.
Great pictures.

Here is the closest I get to having my own garage: Target in Chicago. Not shown in photo: new LED fogs and parking lights.



Looks extra round in this photo. Probably because it's a cell phone photo.

If it's this...

Then he needs to send them some pics to use for their product image because those are sweet pics for sure!

Wow, those lights are sweet! If they are the ones from out motoring, how difficult was the installation? As simple as removing the plastic cover from the wheel well and popping them in?

Just looked back at the other threads when it was initially posted. That link is the correct one! Looks like it requires removal of the front bumper and just minor electrical work. oem plugs but an extra wire running to the battery to provide enough power to the LEDs. I may have to look into this more when the weather gets nicer

They are pretty cool. Saw them in a thread he made. Don't know if it would fit with that I want to do with the theme of my car. And my headlights are crappy halogens.

Grrr! It's 30˚ outside my house right now....which is actually VERY mild especially compared with last winter. It feels like Spring out there lately.

Here are some pics of the r56 in the freak October snow storm and how the MINI helped clean up

^^ deng gixxer, you get pretty close to the back wall. i always like to stick out, at least in line with the SUVs so people don't think it's a free spot.
