This Month on "Pimp My MINI"....(lots of scrolling)
A Stoopid Girl enters and says, “no one looks at my Mini,
I hang out with all these really kewl minis
and everyone flocks to them. It’s BRG/B and I just want it to be out standing…..”
It went on from there. She had some really neat graphics and that was the key.
“… if it was like the graphics that would be fine too…”
Personally my favorite part was making the door sills…she didn’t know about that…
and it was something that I just had to do…
this was definetly one of the hardest but most fun projects to date...
I completely disassembled and then put this MINI back together...
I now know more about the mini than I ever thought possible...
Thanks to Coop, Skinny, and Don @ Elwood Body works for helping
the pictures do the paint no justice what so ever...it is a candy metalic that has a prismatic flake...so it moves its really neat...
Well, she got what she asked for…
after one month of taking the car apart and
sanding in 102 degree heat here we have…the Stoopid Girl Mini!!
here's a gimmer of what was
and now!!!

AHHHH NOOOOOOO
everyone i know keeps teasing me to paint my mini pink. I can't blame them, i have SOMETHING pink on at all times (and so i was dubbed the name "pinky")... but i decided to resist since i'm paying for the mini, it's under warranty, in good condition, and i like the color.
But you're breaking me down now :/ that's a VERY NICE paint job!!

YAy I'm so glad all you guys are liking it! I'm soooo happy with her. I know she's not everyone's cup of tea but she's most deffinately mine :D
Short Bus, if you ever paint your mini pink just make sure it's a different pink or people will pick on us for being twins. The company that made this color had some others that were awesome! :D

yellow isn't my favorite color... but i sport yellow fingernail polish that ALMOST matches my car. 
yellow is my mini's favorite color, so that's all that matters.
I'd be torn between what shade of pink to go with. I like rocker fuchsia... but i also like a lighter girlier pink too. I made a hot pink mini on miniusa a couple years back. fell in love until i realized it isn't all that cheap to get a full on paint job :/ I like the white roof on the mini... so lighter pink may go better.
Maybe one day...
