Thanks. I am hoping to make it to Mickey and MINI in September. I missed MOTD in May since the car was not ready. Now, everything should be finished by mid-July. The President of DuelL AG is going to be in the U.S. next month and the goal is to have everything before he arrives. DuelL AG North America is doing a build of their own. They also have a 2009 MCS (Chili Red w/ white roof). They are using a different front bumper (v2.12) on theirs. They expect to have their body kit installed on Friday. Vince said that they are having the build fully documented. I am excited to be getting my MINI back today.

That would be a sight to behold. As far as I know, he is just going to San Carlos, CA (just south of San Francisco) to the DuelL AG North America facility. He was hoping I was close to them, but Vince had to let him know that I am on the other side of the country (Florida). He did not realize how far California was from Florida. It would be nice to meet him. I know he wants to see the car when he comes. Maybe he can make a side trip to Florida for a day. Who knows? Afterall, Tackleberry is the first DuelL AG accessorized MINI in the United States.

Pics just don't do this car justice..this MINI is so badass in person it should come with a warning label. The intakes look like they can swallow small animals and children and the LED running lamps make the sun look dull in comparison.
Well done sir..all hail the carbon fiber king!!

I just got the car out of the body shop this afternoon. I damaged the bumper a couple weeks ago while a photographer and I were scouting sites for a shoot for MC2 Magazine. The car is close to being ready for the shoot. The rest of the graphics are going on tomorrow and I am hoping to get the gauges and DuelL AG gauge pod installed this weekend. Here are a few pics I took this afternoon before it got too dark. You will notice that the carbon fiber front lip in now painted to match the stripes (Anthracite Grey Metallic). The 17x7.5" NM Engineering RSe05 wheels have been replaced with 17x7" O.Z. Ultraleggera wheels.
