Sunroof Graphic

I'm about to order (waiting for final proof) a custom sunroof graphic from Aesthetic Creations for our 04 Mini and was wondering if anyone had suggestions/recommendations for installation. Thanks!

It is not all that hard. I just make it look like magic. I have done mine a few times and I did Dustin's too. Dustin made a comment about me knowing what I was doing... and he was impressed. To myself I was thinking...now I really have to do a good job.

What is the design?

Hey Big Sky, be sure and talk with Cooper Gear to get and or install your roof. For some reason I cant get the pic into this posting. So much to learn about this stuff

This is a huge accomplishment if he can pull it off, there are a lot of amazing wrestlers who have never won the Triple Crown. So the design is a copy of the logo where he trains, The Overtime School of Wrestling in Naperville. It's going to be a surprise and we hope motivational.

(I thought I could copy the image from my email but I'm having tech. difficulties, sorry)

Hello BigSky

Here is my suggestion:

Come to MITM2 MINIs in the Mountains and have Mike install it personally. Heck, come see your MINI friends here. Have a good time.

Solves the problem now, doesn't it.

Sounds like a great time and I'll see what I can do, thanks for the invite!

However, I have to get it on prior to that.

He'd love to and can hardly wait ...but it'll be a few years as he'll be entering 5th grade in the fall.

At the rate he's growing it may be a tight fit he's already 5'7" and about 128 lbs.

DOH!! only in the 5th grade?? AND 5'7"!! I know he can reach the pedals already (I'm 5'6" ish ) so finding a country road might be in order

That would be really cool if you could go to MitM and meet Jonathan and his crew from MINI5280... great guy shameless plug for a nice guy!

A Proud Dad

We just got back from Green Bay and USA Wrestling's Kids Freestyle and Greco-Roman National Championships. It was an exciting four days as my "little guy" dominated his competition winning both styles. In doing so he earned USA Wrestling's prestigious National Triple Crown Award by winning National Championships in all three styles (Folkstyle, Freestyle and Greco-Roman)

He has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with Sean Bormet (USA Wrestling's Freestyle Coach of the year) and his outstanding staff at the Overtime School of Wrestling in Naperville IL., I just can't say enough about those guys...they're not just great coaches, their great men and role models.

Thanks for all the kind wishes and support, it was truly valued!

BigSky,

Congrats to your son, that is a great accomplishment. I wrestled in jr, high and high school, but am not familiar with the "folkstyle" version. What is that exactly?

Jim
