Vinyl Install Party

Hey everyone,

Shannon and I are driving home for Thanksgiving and I am hoping to get some MINI's together and wrap some headlights/tail lights and more. Maybe on Thursday or Friday the 23rd/24th. If anyone is interested let me know.

Lyle

Hi Lyle!
Think I'd might like to get my tail lights done.

Hey Andy,

A vinyl install party is just a name I came up with, kinda like a pulley party! I've started a small side business accenting MINI's with vinyl, like blacking out headlight rings, or tinting the headlights/tail lights. So I just decided to try to get a hand full of MINI's together that want some nice accenting mods.

Hey Brian,

Yeah, I have the steering wheel layovers, but they are not the "exact" color of the car, but I think they will still look good. I also have some door handle accents as well. Let me know what your thinkin'.

Those headlight rings are pretty hot wrapped up in black vinyl, especially for darker paint. I have PW and for some reason the vinyl touches against the white isn't working for me as much as I'd like. I'm still on the fence about the grill wrap. I have the vinyl and everything, just haven't made up my mind...

Hey Thirdrail!! Checked out your gallery, and I think the vinyl on your grill would look nice, and you can always remove it, or portions of it, if it don't float ya boat!

Not sure... if this new job works out well i'll probably make the trip out there even if it isn't with the MINI.

By the way, if you need a home loan you know who to talk to

Install party was great, even though it was a little spread out and there was no food. If any other bay area folk are interesed, let me know, we'll be home during x-mas break.

Thanks Lyle for cleaning up the look on my ride. I've put a few post wrap photos in the photos forum in this thread and I'll add more soon.

Cheers!
