See you at THE DRAGON

 

I loved the ones I bought last year even though I didn't make it to the event. I was in Kent on a family matter. I hope I can make it this year, I have it on my schedule. That new License plate looks cute too. Will get to ordering soon, I need to deside if I want 1 or 2.
Bye for now,
Ladydi

 

Lady Di, If you think the license plate is cute, be sure to check out our specially priced combo package of a placard & plate.
Looking forward to your order.

 

+50% for shipping apparently.

Will pickup be available @ motd for us cheap bastards?

 

Let us know and we will put one aside for you............last year we sold out.

 

I got one and its paint is coming off?

 

Just tried to PM you, but you have locked PMs out. Is it off the plate or placard, either way, I will send you another one. Drop me a line at info@americanminimates.com and we will take care of it. We haven't had this problem in the three years we have been making placards for various events.
As always we stand behind all our products.

 

I have had my 2006 MOTD Placard on my BRG S since last year and it still looks great. I do take it off when I go thru a car wash.
I just ordered a placard and license plate to updat to 2007.
Bye Bye,
Lady Di

 

Lady Di, thanks for you order and support. Your 2007 MOTD rallye placard and the soon to be famous JPS MOTD license plate were mailed out yesterday. You should have them by mid week. We hope to see you at The Dragon.

 

I will be checking my mail box everyday and will put it on my car as soon as it is in.
As you know I love all your other items too, I have almost one of everything.
Bye Bye,
Lady Di

 

The combo pack was in my mail slot today..............they look great. I have already placed the placard on my car. I hung the license plate on a picture nail for now.
Thank you for such fast service.
Bye Bye,
Lady Di

NOTE: If you plan to put the placard on the paint for any length of time, do yourself a favor and:

1. Clean the area well with detailing spray or wash the car - grit trapped under the maget can mar/scratch the clear coat

2. Wax the area well - apply 1-2 coats of a good wax (Detailers Paradise's Epic is a good choice as is Meguiars NTX or Gold Class). Also wax the back surface of the magnet. This is because:

3. Lift the magnet periodically to check for moisture/rain/water trapped beneath the magnet. If you find any, wipe it away with a microfiber cloth. I found out the hard way that untreated (unwaxed) paint will dull if left exposed to water in this manner - MINI paint seems especially "soft" in this respect.

4. Remove the magnet if you plan to do any long-term spirited driving - the bonnet can get quite hot and the magnets ARE just plastic. I've never seen any problems with melting/softening, but better safe than sorry.

Luckily, if you follow the simple procedures above, I can practically guarantee that you should be able to leave the magnet on the car for days or even for the entire trip without damaging your paint. I use small magnetic accents on my doors in the summer, and ever since waxing the surface and the back of the magnet, I've not noticed any paint dulling or marring, even if I leave the magnets on for up to a week.

 

The pictures look great. Will have to get my order in before they sell out. Thanks

 

I always have at least 3 coats of zaino on my car. Thanks for the info, I do all of the above and haven't had any problems. I change the postion every so often so that I do not get any "shadows". All your info is nice to follow.
Bye Bye,
Lady Di

 

I've found having a placard on my MINI increases HP 5% Cheap easy mod

Mark

 

My HP jumped 7% on my S.
Motoring down life's ever changing road, with a Dragon on my bonnet,
Cheers,

 

Whatever the HP increase, no problem with warrenty issues

Mark

 

HP Increase Disclaimer: Our tests have shown that there is no real HP increase form installing a MOTD Rallye Placard, but it may feel like it.

 

You keep forgeting to turn off the DSC

Mark

 

Handling also greatly improves with a placard

Mark

 

If you say so, that is OK with us. We thought we noticed a difference today when we were out on a test run. Sure did grab peoples attention when we were out and about.

 

Got my combo package already... I missed out on regestering for the Welcome Dinner and my local chapter is sponsoring it! ACK!!!! At least I'm showing love this way...

 

Thanks for the combo package order, sorry you will miss the opening dinner, but hope our paths cross during the rest of THE DRAGON.
