New pics of Scarlet. . .WITH STRIPES!!!


Yep, as I type this very message, Ms. Scarlet is getting her black offset bonnet stripes! <<doing the HAPPY dance!!>>

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!

Next "mod" - a diy install of my satellite radio. Even thinking about tackling the job myself.

 

Scarlet is now officially striped!

 

WOOT! Now isn't Ms. Scarlett going to be the sass of the trace next Saturday!!! Looks good...congrats on the latest youification...

 

Thank you, thank you! You S folks might have a little trouble keeping up with my Justa now that we have our go faster stripes. Hope you all are up to it!

 

I see Scarlett isn't going to be the only sassy one on the drive next weekend...

 

They forgot to do the other side ........ looks great

 

That stripe really makes it stand out!! I like it

 

We were going for an old school look. . .something you don't see very often. They guy who did them said he's never seen another MINI with stripes like mine. I said "that's the whole point".

 

I think I'll order my next MINI with no stripes and then order something unique. I've been thinking about removing mine and ordering something but I'm scared of the ghost stripes...

 

Mine are painted on. . .no removing them now without doing a whole repaint of the hood. Hubby actually had the nerve to suggest painting the whole car a custom color. . .he just doesn't understand how much MINI people associate with their chosen color I guess.

 

You are brave...but they look really good. Can't wait to see it in person next weekend. Hope we have good weahter....

 

anybody have an idea of someone in the area that could do a paint job for a Mini and how much it might cost?

 

They guy who did my stripes is a very good friend of hubby's. I could get his info for you and you could give him a call. He's been doing paint and body work for 20+ yrs so he definitely knows what he is doing. Not sure about the cost though. . .as long as you don't want anything too crazy he's probably pretty reasonable. I'll get his # from hubby later tonight and PM you with it.

 

Yeah. . .well Scarlet will be mine for a loooong time to come. No way in h-e-double l will the hubs let me get another car until this one literally falls apart.

 

I had a friend in high school that didn't like the hand-me-down car his parents gave him....and they always said, "You'll drive it until the wheels fall off". So, being the smart a$$ that he was, he took all the lugnuts off all four wheels and drove it down a dirt road. I think they gave in and bought him a newer used car.

 

I like 'em!

 

I'll have to write that one down in my trick book for later reference.

 

If I remember correctly his parents gave him a big ole tank of a car. It was like a 1976 Lincoln Towncar...silver with plush (pimp) red crushed velvet interior. Come to think of it maybe he was kind of justified...but my parents would have KILLED me!
