A "Black Widow" Clubby...like you've never seen!

Veronica (my wife) wanted something to make a BOLD statement about her while driving her Clubby. She looked at cars at the Dragon, but nothing really gave her any ideas. So we started looking online and she came up with the Black Widow idea. (Don't ask what her reasoning was for picking that theme http://www.tarheelminis.org/images/smilies/secret.gif but I can assure you some beer was involved.)

I found the spider web graphics at Canstockphoto.com and downloaded it for a member of the Tarheel Club who cuts vinyl. The "V" in the center of the web sets it off too, telling everyone whose car it is.

She knew about the web on the roof but had no idea I downloaded a special font for the windshield text, or created the webs in the corners. Her bonnet was bare and she wasn't sure if she wanted stripes at all or not. She kept saying she wanted to leave it bare, but seeing it parked naked next to mine drove me nuts.

I asked her to let me run with an idea for stripes and if she didnt like it we could peel them off.

When she saw the Rally stripes with white pin and white accent webs she went wild!!http://www.tarheelminis.org/images/smilies/ms_yeah.gif

I'm sure she will turn some heads in this car...All thats missing is the "Its not cute its MEAN !" decal for the rear window that I'm having cut in 1" letters :wink:

In the Fall she will get the black web wheels on my car when I get my new rims and then it should really look sharp.

Time for Joey Mod.

Nice:thumbsup:

Tres cool! I like it. I do agree with Yetti about the lights though. I take it that you bought it off of the lot? I would recommend:

although it may just be my prejudice concerning chrome.

Next time we're in the same place, we'll have to tilt a "few" and discuss spider!! :grin:

The joey mod does look cool, but I am reluctant to take apart the lights. I fear that they will fog up and get moisture in them over time if I break the factory "seal."

Jerry are you guys going to the MINI even in Oct at Fontana? We will be there...
