I know a place called driven perfection and I just shot them a message and i'll let you know what they cost and if they can do a group buy, I think they are located in framingham though but they are top notch.


Also I gloss blacked vinyled the chrome rings around the tail lamps tonight, looks good

Saw you parked in the small lot near the field this morning. Looks much beter in person than with photos. Nice job

$%&^ I tried to wrap my M7 hood scoop in flat black vinyl... TWICE and failed utterly. It's such a pain in the ***. I ended up just spraying it black which took 30 seconds.

ATTENTION ALL BOSTON MINI OWNERS!!!

Anyone wanna do a mini MINI meet tomorrow night? Meet and chill in the lot or grab some food maybe around 6-7pm?

I'm thinking North Shore for any of the following because they are all pretty good places for people to meet usually.

The New Buffalo Wild Wings (just checked it out today and I already need moar wings!)
Sonic
Fuddruckers
or Hooters

They are all located on Route 1 in Saugus just north of Boston.

Detailed about half of my car today... So. Many. Swirls. Still so many left to go. I only got the roof, Pillars and hood done.
But I clayed the whole car which is time consuming.
Spent from 12 to 9 working on it today
I am going to bed now!

I know not too many people drag their Mini's, but that is pretty impressive.

o0 I didn't think of that. But it may be my only time to go this week.

Me and a friend waited to be one of the first 100 in line when they opened two weeks ago and we got a coupon book good for one free serving a week of wings for the entire year. So I kinda have to go at least once a week to make the most of it lol.
Any who I'll probably be there tonight at some point, Anyone else is welcome to join naturally.

Okay so I just googled what Sonic was since I had no idea ... it is a drive through fast food place and my question is: are you supposed to eat in your car?!? I'm a slob and I just know that I will be finding french fries under my seats years later if I attempt this ....
