Got the windows tinted today!

5% on the back 3, 35% on the front two. The guys who did it were very cool, gave me a pretty good deal, $159 from the normal $209. I love it so far!

The OE rails I got from Amazon. They had the best price I found.

The cargo basket I ordered thru Moosejaw but you can get it thru Amazon, too. Yakima had a promotion going and Moosejaw was one of the participating retailers so I got a little cash back on my purchase. The basket is the Loadwarrior. You can mount bike racks to it, too.

Are you using the 'attach images' option? I just use image tags (to embed it in the post) and the URL where the image is hosted. The format is "[IMG]image_url[/IMG]" except don't use the quotation marks. I only did that so the tag would show up in my post.

Hahah, that doesn't go away! I've had mine for 10 months and I still take far too many pictures.

My '09 MC... love this car! Just got it a few weeks ago and I have to say it's the best car i've owned. Way more fun to drive than nearly anything I've been behind the wheel of before.

speaking of BRG... I see you posted BRGII... how do I know what paint code my BRG 2008 MCS is? I looked under the hood, it just says British Racing Green.

You have British Racing Green. Beginning with the 2011 model year, MINI changed the color slightly (it's now a bit brighter and there's now a noticeable yellow in the color in sunlight) and named it British Racing Green II.
