MINIUSA Officially Approved Blue Ignition Wires

I’m indifferent. $40 isn’t much money and it’s not as if they’re an ugly color/finish or part of the interior or exteriors styling — It’s quite subtle. I’m wondering if once installed that anyone would notice them right away or even at all — Especially after they became dusty or dirty. But then, the people who might buy these are probably the same people who keep their engines spotless.

Well. I approve of them….small price to pay to dress up the engine bay a bit. Next will be the Alta cold air intake will the blue silicone hose. Should make my Hyper Blue and White MINI look nice. Yeah I know it is minor but that is why we all have MINIS…to make them different and to personalize them.

I read it as the BOOTS are OEM but the wire is upgraded…similar to aftermarket wires?

I agree if the color is the only deal then I’ll be $40 closer to the MTH ;)

Excuse my ignorance but are these blue wires an upgrade to the OEM or just a different color option.

Ah.. Thank goodness. No wood exterior kit. Never have I been so glad to be wrong (well, except for that time with the colonoscopy!)

I saw these a few days ago on MINIUSA and didn’t think much either way. They would look nice on a hyper blue car, if you show off your engine alot. Otherwise, just a dress up item for those who can’t stop their MINI habit.

I would be surprised if red, yellow, and other colors are not forthcoming.

Yeah! I’m all about the illuminated door sills! I pretty sure I’ll be getting those installed on my first service visit.

I bought them yesterday and installed them. Each one is a little longer than the one it replaces, which is a little annoying. Funny thing is, my car feels more responsive (it must be a figment of my imagination). Plus, the wires are tough to see anyway with the engine layout. Don’t know that I can recommend, but all and all they are alright.

Not something I would think about buying as an upgrade, but as a replacement I definatly approve.

My car is blue, my leather upholstery is blue, my iSkin is blue – why not my plug wires? The question is, are these better or worse – performance wise – than the JCW part?

Since there are no aftermarket JCW wires I’m guessing you’re talking about the ones that are on used on the JCW kit. To my knowledge they are the same as on the stock MC or MCS.

only if they are knotty pine with union jack boots… omy gawd what would Martha say?

I just dropped my still very new (1150 miles!) MCS off for a number of service items, and I requested that these blue ignition wires be installed. Why not? $40, and my car is Hyper Blue, so it makes sense!
