It's official, I am obsessed
 
ok ok i am sure i need help:razz: i have becum an obsessive modder. today i added aluminum peds, a new leather shifter boot, MSD ignition ( just for the cool colour). That is after i have custom painted the engine, blacked out the brake claipers, added a black and silver union jack to the roof, custom enamel union jack and checker flag side badges and a chrome interior. have to go to burlington for buisness tomorrow so nothing then but later this week i am adding the rear seat pulls, changing the rest of the lights over to match the xenon, carbon fiber mirror caps, a new boot net, a shorty antenna, and either new bonnet stripes or the matching blackjack door handles ( and maybe a #37 on the doors) also have the vinyl to black out the grill "fins".all this awaiting a $200 shipment of prima products:impatient: .
- i may not have the most mods....but i am gaining!-
OH YA...also have a home made HAI

It's a slippery slope. Throw out the crampons, you'll have more fun that way.

welcome to the club.

next thing you know you'll be living the garage while the mini takes your bed. saw it happen to this guy once... :no:

andrewholmes Jul 15, 2008 05:22 AM

living in the garage eh.....not a bad idea:sly:

Winchm60 Jul 15, 2008 05:30 AM

Don't worry, it happened to me as well. I'd spent more than a few thousand dollars after two months of ownership; and i still don't have everything installed.

Obsessed, yes, it happens to all of us. These forums accelerate the process. As the alien in the Sci-fi movie says ... Don't fight it - it's easier that way. See my dilated pupils in the pic of me below? I used to be human once ... now I am in the "mini" doghouse.

craigfsl Jul 18, 2008 08:02 AM

I've had mine for 3months now and have put a few grand into it. Nothing like my old talon though that got 20k+ put into it. just to hard to not mod this lil car.
