For some reson in the vids and the pics it makes the light reflect off the actual light but in person there is only light on the outside ring.
Performance Auto Solutions helped me every step of the way, even when i couldnt figure out that the colors where switched. This deff makes the mini stand out from the bunch. I highly recomend them and did i say all this besides shipping was only $270

Carbon fiber bits work with that color (Eclipse Gray?) for sure. I’ve seen Lyle from Vinyl Styles do a belt line kit in CF - looked AWESOME and that MINI had the A-panels done, too. How you feeling about the boot? That’s a bold move - don’t know if I have that in me.

Ordered my blackjack union mirror covers from OutMotoring yesterday. Will order the side skuttles and door handles as well but they are temporarily out of stock.
Has anyone applied the handle covers over the comfort access handles??? I guess I'll have to drill out the oblong hole for the comfort access button since the handles aren't made for them but they say they'll work if you drill them out.

LOL! One of these days someone has got to sit me down and explain the whole "Zombie thing"....My club even has a whole thread devoted to it. Maybe I'm just an old fart and don't get out enough

I got these because I prefer these to the regular boring family stickers. I prefer vampires to zombies but the vampire "father" stickers depict dad with a cape. Hubby does not want to be pictured in any way in a cape.

As far as explaining the whole zombie phenomenon, I can't. I don't know what made everyone jump on the bandwagon.

Excellent link. I had this discussion with hubby a while back and now, discussing it again. He believes the movie Shaun of the Dead started the recent glut of zombie popularity because the movie was more a comedy then horror, thus making it a more acceptable sub genre. I don't know if I agree or disagree but I know the idea of the zombie, just like your link describes, has been around forever.

Replaced the old ripped handbrake boot with a nice alcantara one and an alcantara shift boot so they matched of course. That and took a buffer to the sides...bye bye hard water spots!

Had him hand washed, then brought him home for a full detail, coat of wax, and polish. Put in the new urban mats once he was all clean.

Based on your indicated location, I guess it could be ruled out that the "other present" is a set of snow tires.

I think those lamp covers look sweet but I would agree with you about them on the car since yours is pepper white. You did a great job though, post more pictures when you put the CF on!
