Autocross & Plastidip :)

Took the Mini to the autocross for the first time this weekend. Had. A. Blast.

I had just finished up a dechrome project as well: used the outmotoring blackline kit, and plastidip on the scoop, bumper trim, headlight rings, scuttles, door handles, and gas cap. Interesting how much the blackline kit changes the look of the car. Pretty clean.

Again, it was crazy fun. Coming from a G35 the last few years - which felt frantic and heavy - the Mini was amazingly composed on the course.

Enjoy, and thanks to those NAM members for their autocross expertise.
