Finished... for now :~)

Finished up with my graphics work this afternoon and thought I'd show it off

New double pin stripe and wreath on the side, bonnet stripes and the UJ roof graphic, all in silver. Which goes well with my interior color. I've also changed out all the lights to clear.





I've got new window rubbers with the black locking strip to install still, but that will take a helper so it'll have to wait. Hmmm I might go back to the black grille too. Haven't decided yet.

I don't think the roof graphic looks like me at all, silver or not!

I still think it needs a Judson . . .

Thanks Patti For those that don't know..... I drove this car up to the Dragon last May and on the way snapped both exhaust hangers. 04 and her husband happened to walk up on me as I was getting ready to install an Alabama Muffler clamp (ie coat hanger)

Thanks Jeff Hmm a before picture might be too much for the system to take! As sharp as Minis are, this one was pretty ugly when I picked it up.

It had this Island theme going on, with splashes of color (or were they island chains) down the side, with stars intermixed and the word "Caribbean". The snow tires on the black steelies w/hub caps didn't help much either.


Ah the hell with it you asked for it:

Smokey,

Very nice transformation. Can't say there's one spec of Caribbean theme that I would have kept, either.

Silver accents look super nice. After seeing the black grille on your "before" shot, my .02 says stay with Silver/chrome.

SWEET!
