I love this thread!

 

It's giving me ideas and keeping me entertained!!

 

From Stock to Not...

 

You didn't mention the S on the IC. I love that! How much did it cost you and how did you do it?

Just have my custom roof decal at the moment. My design, local printer finalized it and installed.

Not sure what else I am going to do, some customer interior lights maybe, and maybe some underglo as well. Some PIAA Rally lights, 4 of them... I have so many ideas and not enough time or money for them... he he

Nothing yet, I've only had my MINI for two weeks, but...I love this.



Did you make those yourself blalor or did you have someone make them for you, and if so, who?

 

Minipirate.com is selling actual vinyl versions, I got mine the other day and they are premium quality... awesome!

 

Could you provide a direct link. I searched their site but found not stickers like those. Thanks.

 

One of the best mods you can buy ... not the silly grey cup thing which I trashed but the leather knee pad thingie

 

I was like....a cup/pen holder?

I rest my knee against the downtube. Does it hurt your knee or something?

-Cody

 

oh yeah. After an hour of driving or so the knee can hurt. This pad makes a huge difference and visually, you never know its there

The other thing is a useless Cell Phone holder. It was an utter waste of $10 or whatever. Just trash that.

 

I'm LOVING the enthusiasm with that checker dash on the last page. Man.

I'm probably going to stop at my custom vinyl now. I was hoping to apply today but my wife stole the car. Maybe tomorrow!

 

Ok, here is my iPod Nano I just installed with using velcro and a Griffen iTrip.

*Sorry for the newspaper...errr...picture. I didn't realize it was on there.

Yea, as you can see...nothing fancy, but it works and I like the hide-away location.

Note* This is a Griffen FM wireless iTrip, so I have no wires or anything running. I set my iTrip to a station and my stereo on the same one. Easy as pie.

Edit* Resizing owns me... They were HUGE and now there small

 

I had Todd Pearson make them up for me! They're holding up very well.

 

Hey aren't you a little afraid of an accident and a horn in your eye??

My mom taught me that its all fun and motoring until someone pokes an eye out.

Is it harder to take the twisties with only one eye?

 

Those stickers are included free of charge in the MINI Welcome kit that is sent out shortly after you purchase your car.

 

Well, it's not much but....

 

Its certainly a different place to put the track decal

 

They don't hold up real well, however. The black was rubbing off mine after a couple of months.

 

Well I have a small mod. I am proud to say I was the first to ever have a convertible roof decal (that I know of) & as of the Dragon I was the only one but I am sure that will change. Ed at Cooper Flags did a great job & I have since added the checkered rear view mirror cap also

 

most people won't even notice this, but i painted the trim around the
shifter graphite color. it was a boring gray. nice subtle accent.

 

That looks very nice. I'm hoping to de-chrome the car and add some paint. What is that gauge for? And how did you mount it?

-Cody

 

thanks!


that's my autometer volt gauge. my car's not
driven in the winter time so i monitor the power through that before
i start the motor. i just used the autometer cup and mounted it
under the center console. It's getting power from the cigarrette
lighter line.

it looks clean from the driver eye level; here's how it's mounted.

 

Modest ken, I've read your webpage you have several other custom mods (one I even copied, clean turn signals).

 

yeh, i get bord easily in the winter time...
