Just put her in the garage!-p1010038.jpg

Just got my MCC and it has been a blast driving. The blind spot is rather big so I've purchased some Multivex mirrors. Next project will be to throw some stripes on the bonnet and boot - just need to figure out which ones. Decisions....Decisions.....

Lovely! And welcome to NAM and happy motoring!
Are those animal print seat covers in the back, or am I seeing things?

Congrats!!!

Welcome to NAM!!!

Wow, your baby gets a garage. We have a two car garage and the DH owns both halves. Well I do use some of it with a torch area for melting glass.

Love those mirrors! Brookstone also sells a nice one I've used for 12 years. Wouldn't have a car without it!

Ouch...I never park near other people, too many with a lack of concern for other people's property.

Find a good "paintless dent removal" guy in your area and make freinds. LOL. I have a guy come to my house once a year and go over all three of our vehicles. It stinks that the world is full of inconsiderate idiots, but these dent guys are pretty amazing.

Sorry bou the ding. I have two that came with my "used" 05 Hot Orange. Hope to get them out in short order.

Cheers!
Lee

DELROD--I couldn't help but notice your license plate frame on the front says NIELLO. I am currently waiting to take delivery of my Mini from Niello...1 week, according to the MA. How was your experience? Any tips or warnings in dealing with them? They've been sort of pseudo-helpful, but not overly so thus far, so I'm just curious...

Sorry about your door ding. Guess it's a matter of time.

Multivex mirrors

Just installed the Multivex mirrors and they do knock out the blind spot when driving with the top on. However, it takes some time before you get used to the orb like visuals.

Welcome !

Yes, I'l agree with rs'S about the windscreen. I don't recommend the $$ be spent on the OEM screen though. There's a very nice aftermarket windscreen available for $175. I just got it and it's great !

Stripes ? I think that MINI would look great with the white bonnet stripes with black pinstripes. They'd really pop. If you're not into the classic bonnet stripes, the viper stripes in the same colors, white with black pins would still look superb.
