I got this light for my R53 Cooper S and the plug in for the harness did not fit the harness in the car. I needed to modify the circuit board and change the wiring harness in my car so that it would fit.

After my daughter ran over a piece of "plastic" on the interstate in her 2006 R53 puncturing the fuel tank, I placed an order with Aaron for replacement. Due to the pandemic, inflation and the overall state of the world, both the price of the item from Mini and the shipping costs had increased significantly. Aaron was proactive and made me aware of the changes in price and the potential shipping delays and was willing to work with me on both. I'm happy to say the part part arrived to me sooner than anticipated and I'll be installing it this weekend. Aaron is a great guy running a great company and he has a customer for life!

I am so grateful to these folks! This non-mechanic was able to fix a problem that would have cost a couple of k's to fix at a dealership or mechanic. Aaron and Anthony were able to communicate with me to troubleshoot the issues and parts with me based off of my troubleshooting and error codes I received from my Schwaben (which Aaron referred me to a few years ago). They got the parts to me in a speed I was able to fix my problems before a scheduled shop visit that is always 2-3 weeks out. Now all I need is an oil and break fluid change I don't want to do and a slow leaking valve gasket I need to decide if I want to attempt. I found helpful videos that I'm almost thinking yes. Thanks guys!

Synopsis: Get lag out of your way!
SPRINT BOOSTER, a Plug-n-Play Performance Upgrade for your Model Year
2002 or later MINI. This is an upgrade that you can feel with normal
everyday driving, not just on the track at redline like most other
performance upgrades!
This works for all MINIs produced in or after 2002 models (specific to the automatic or manual transmission - see drop-down menu).
Most cars in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional
throttle cable for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates
how hard the pedal is pushed into electronic signals in order to provide
power to the wheels.
The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as
Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and
subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations
such as up-hill starts, quick gear changes and overtaking.
Sprint-Booster overcomes this throttle response delay for your MINI
by providing crisp, on-tap acceleration for whenever the driver demands
it.

Results
* At low revs, the engine responds at approximately half the time in comparison to before.
* The delay time whilst accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear and the engine in the mid-range, is almost zero.
* Big differences in the higher rev range.
* Improved response for downshifts and safer overtaking.
* Overall safety and more fun on the road!
Sprint-Booster is a device that improves acceleration by
continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the
ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) potentiometer, and providing the ECM
(Electronic Control Module) with a new, faster response signal.
The design of SprintBooster allows for easy installation in all
models, without the need to cut any wires or intervene in the
automobile’s electronics (it does not affect other systems such as
electronic injection, ABS, etc.). Installation is SIMPLE*:
1. Loosen the accelerator pedal module from the floorboard.
2. Unplug the harness from the accelerator module.
3. Plug in the Sprint Booster inline with the harness and accelerator module.
4. Re-install the accelerator module.
5. Happy Motoring!
