Now I get to do the whole (well almost whole) JCW aero kit all over again with them. Prestige has a new body shop manager who seems like a good guy. And Mark the service manager actually said hi to me. So it may work out over there after all.

Sweet. Looks great!!

I was going to have Lyle remove my bonnet stripes and put those same stripes on the bonnet, on the boot and most of the way down the rear bumper. Oh well, next time.

Considering we live so close its amazing we have never bumped into each other. Rockland county is sooo small. Its like one giant town.

Maybe we can meet up for Starbucks on Rt 59 in Suffern when I get my car back in a few weeks.

Thanks Steve! Lyle really is the man. His work is amazing. You'll get your chance to get your car done up when he comes out to Helix in a few months. Definitely have to thank Lyle for coming out here and Efrain for setting everything up. It was great meeting everyone as well.

Props to Efrain for setting this up, getting the ball in motion. Big thanks to Lyle for making my Clubman look amazing! I have extensive photos and will post some here. Others can be found in my "Grimly Fiendish" set on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/molecul...7624262342496/

I had a laundry list of things done.
-Headlight rings
-Side scuttles black out and lenses smoked
-Belt line
-Side and rear door handles
-Custom Mini hood logo
-Shaved logos on rear doors and green S

The man hard at work!





The next time you wonder why it costs so much for the door handles remember that the dealer charges about 6 hours worth of labor for this same thing. Lyle knows how to work some magic!

Atom, Grimly Fiendish looks awesome... one of a kind. I wish you would put the lime green mirror caps back on.

I hope that you park in a garage under or near your building. Please do not tell me you park on the street.
