New Owner in Atlanta-looking for ideas on repairs

Just bought a 2006 Mini S Convert Jcw--wonder if any other Atlanta folks could give me references on where i could go to get rock chips repaired, perhaps the 3m or equal protective film install, and also need a road rash rim repair done. Also thinking about a security system for it-any ideas of who does a great job? Just nuts in the first 3 days over this car. now just want to get some minor cosmetic stuff as good as i can get it. any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks robert

thanks!

I did get in touch with Way late this afternoon--and seems like a great guy and was ready to do work today-which kind of blew me away. if anyone has any other people to do anything, mods etc in atlanta-love to know who you use for all purposes. looks like as you said-may be lucky to have a great mechanic in town. robert

followup on Way

Met Way yesterday and was truly impressed. not only is he a true expert, but a very honest and open guy--very refreshing. Some things i guessed about the my first mini-only 2 weeks old--were totally wrong and he corrected me. H saved me money right away making suggestions on the car. Atlanta has lots of service guys in many areas that are only after the buck--this guy has true passion for what he does--and i cant recommend him enough just on one visit. he put in a M7 strut bar yesterday, and planning a couple other suspension upgrades. based on what he said--he has tons of ideas to take my mini anywhere i want it to go--all based on what i want to invest in it. i am always impressed with brutal honesty and integrity. feel very lucky to find this guy. he is located in Chamblee. robert
