The interior is bare metal from the doors back! Not much but the Sparco's, roll bar, meth tank, and very minimal stock interior pieces left... I did paint the dash panels, and traded for the chrome interior trim, but that is as far as I am taking the interior.
Under the hood, dress up wise, Ive got some stuff planned and in the works, but you are just going to have to watch and see!

#2 Could very well win...

I might alter the winner just a bit, to bring in some of my military heritage, but it will be a pretty good looking piece.

#1 Is starting to pull far into the lead! Its even starting to grow on me, and I was rooting for #2 all along... Think it will look sweet all crustified and in white with a black border on the kite blue (Bayswatter blue) doors.

Well I have returned from the pavement from the heavens, and have added up everybody's votes. (Across all sites and social media)

The winner is logo #1, with a change to the date bar... That will be swapped to the font used in the lower section of design #2.

It works for me, because it's got to be BOLD! #1 Is just that! Keep in mind, some of the areas of text will be rubbed away with the artificial aging... Plus there has to be enough white in the lettering to have a black border.

Unfortunately though, I have decided to leave NAM... Due to all the adds and pop ups when I am trying to post, not to mention the lack of interest I have in 99% of the new threads on this site. (NO I don't come on a forum to read threads about: oil changes, walnuts, stick on mods, or complaints that people come up with when somebody else decides to mod their car!) We had a good run here, but this site has become 3rd in line for me to even look at.
I will be moving this thread over to a different, Friendlier MINI forum, where people still care about performance and enjoying their cars, without the depression of stick on's and I hate my car stories. Feel free to check in on the other site, progress will be coming shortly! Look for me on the other site now, I will try to get the thread up tomorrow evening.

Goodbye, and good luck

Can you give a hint, as to which of the other four forums you are talking about?

I dont really think its fair to assume that none of us care about performance or enjoying our cars and I'm perfectly fine with people posting about dumb "stick on" mods. Everyone starts somewhere and has to work with what they have. As long as they are enthusiastic about their car and the brand thats all that really matters anyways. Sorry that your thread was not getting enough attention here. My advice, go enjoy your car and stop worrying about how much credit you are getting on the internet.
