Great color. Very nice, with the Aero kit. How come your front grill is body-colored? Never seen one like this.

Nice pictures! Looking at pictures in your gallery, it looks like you bought your car from Mini of Concord. I also got my MCCS Pepper White/Black recently from them. Nice folks there. Did you deal with Jason? He's a nice guy.

so... the washer fluid leaked out of one of the nozzles and has COMPLETELY ruined the clear coat about 1/2" x 2 1/4" on the hood. and there is a birdcr*p mark on the bumper the size of a silver dollar that has ruined the finish down there too.. and it's not fresh. i can't believe i didn't see it when i picked it up.
I'm so angry and sad.

Ohhhhh Nooooooo Sorry to hear that! We have a few issues with "Clubbie" our Horizon Blue one that were from the dealership. It was on the lot for about 6 weeks or so we think, and there are a zillion little water spots on her. One of the trim pieces below the passenger window has pitting/rust on it. The final issue was that the "S" was not on originally so they placed one on...the problem is that it is too close to the edge. On our next appt (MA is aware) we will have them address the issues.

As far as the spots....Detailing has begun this weekend! An issue that I am sure some folks have had is the friggin "Cosmoline" spray over under the bonnet. I believe that is what they use to prevent rust. It has found it's way down onto the plastic trim around the wheels and on the rear bumper. I have been cleaning it off and after a few hours of work it looks good.

I hope that "Oxley" will get fixed by your MA! Your pictures in the evening light are AWESOME! Very pretty!
