I think that picture is my new background. Whoever detailed that car, it looks phenomenal.
Haha! It was not even my usual place, I was in a rush to get to this euro picnic and stopped by a place in Capitola, CA and told the Mexican dude to really clean the black (should be red) calipers and wheels then handed him a $20 tip prior. Mind you it was not a detail, it was just the $29.99 works, but this dude sure treated it like a detail. It was better than the $139.99 dealership detail
From the picture it looks like your wheel arches are painted Thunder Blue Metallic as well. Very cool.
Yep they sure are, so is the boot latch (I got oe flat black plastic one still) as well as the aero grill surround and now an OEM 2004 shark fin antennae in silver..
A couple photos I shot while at Lime Rock for the first MINI Takes The States on September 4th, 2006. This was the final destination for that nationwide rally, and several lucky people got their GP's delivered to them at this great event, (as most of you already know).
You can see they were driven properly; there's lots of brake dust on the spokes of those gorgeous R105's.
Hi Ian,
That was a fun weekend, Yes Tammy still has her GP. Me I’m still having fun with the Hot Rods although none of them
are nearly as much fun on the twisty’s as the GP. Hope all is well.

Can you post up more shots of your car!? Its convincing me to get my arches painted!
BTW, did you purchase new arches that were smooth or just paint over the texture? Or did you have them sand it all down? I'm definitely digging the all painted look.
oooh...I see AZ plates. How often do you guys go on sunday runs?
This was our first...turns out Tanner (GP0468) and I live like 5 minutes away from each other. We're both in N. Scottsdale, not sure where you are, but I'm pretty sure we are both down to go drive anytime!
We are going on a drive through Prescott, Jerome, Sedona on January 7th...should mostly be GP's and R56 JCW's. Good times to be had
Location: formerly a grass shack in Hawaii, now N. Phoenix, AZ

I'm in N. Phoenix, by 19th ave & Bell, which is a few blocks away from where I-17 & 101 intersect...not toooo far away from you guys. Damn, we're gonna have to pass on the next drive; will be out of town. Saturdays are out as well, since work gets in the way of things... :/

They sanded them smooth, then left a texture, then prepped it with some kinda white base primer re-smoothed it, then applied the thunder blue and clear, at least that's what they told me.
