hit 56 here
so i got to drive with the top down, and wash fiona! the only snag was the frozen water in my hose (it was in my garage!)...but we were not to be denied.
my o.z. ultraleggera's are sitting in the garage, waiting with the star specs for march. then i believe it will be time for a pic...as the only one on the site is from the day i picked her up! she sits about 2 inches lower now. my current winter project is designing a removable roll bar that will satisfy bmwcca and scca guidelines. see ya sidewalkers!

I was going to wash it at home but hubby turned off the water, for fear of freezing, so i went out to a car wash and did it there!
I have been slowly adding chrome to the interior and found a "cabriolet" badge for the boot, in chrome so will be adding that this weekend! small things but fun!!!

well if you don't mind how dirty she is right now...
I washed her last week before the last snow and didn't take her out until today and now she is dirty again. It is amazing, i can't go one day without her back end getting dirty..
where are you going to put the badge? I was going to get 2 and put them on either side under the "S" but decided on just 1 in the back.

good morning Xbass, sorry this took so long but we had beautiful weather so Nugget got a good wash down and shine on her - so finally after a long wait I have taken a photo of her Cabriolet badge for you.
I have placed in my gallery if posting it here doesn't work...

2 questions:
What does the button next to the lic. plate say?
Where did you get the stickers to cover the ugly warnings on the sun visors?
Thanks

the badge next to the license plate says "the power of Small"
the Warning Lable stickers came from http://www.aestheticreations.net/vin...icstickers.htm
I'm now looking for a cover for the warning lable on the inside roof for the cabrio.
Happy early birthday to yours!!!
