My Car So Far

So I got my all black '08 MINI back in late July, and I still love it to death. His name is Paxton. I have a long list of things I'm going to do to it, but so far I have only been able to:

•Debadge
•New Grille
•Window Tints (20% on back 3 windows and 35% on front 2)
•Pasti-Dipped the Tail light rings

I think that's all I've done so far... When the weather breaks in like 8 months (I live in Buffalo, NY) I'm going to get new rims as well as black out the headlight rings (the tail lights were hard to do in the cold).

Original:

New Grille:

Tints:

Debadged (he needs a good wash):

Hey drewster, welcome from another WNYer! Nice looking MINI (once it's washed, but don't worry, I'm in the same boat). Be sure to check out MINI Club of WNY (http://miniclubofwny.activeboard.com...mID=71633&p=1). Lots of good folks, and plenty of events to keep us busy!

Teswoods... I have been looking all over the internet for things like that around here! The website isn't really working for me though... would you be able to tell me where and when the next few events are??

Thanks!!

I put film on my tail lights when it was 50 degrees out.
Just used a heat gun. Turned out great.

Plus I am sure you know someone with a heated garage.

Look good though!
