Cool hood emblem. Is it one-piece or add-on to the OEM emblem?

Actually, it's a chrome-colored flame decal from Aesthetic Creations! I thought I could put it on the boot emblem, but it wouldn't fit. And I was worried that it would look funny bumping up over the scoop, but it's really not bad.

Most folks don't notice it until they look closely...just like the brake-light mask I have that says "Actual Size." Not very often do I see folks laughing & pointing at stop lights about the brake light mask. Kinda disturbs me...people are NOT very observant these days, are they...???

Took my stripes off...Cleaner?

I am getting used to coming outside and looking at my nakid MINI, I kind of miss the racy look but the color shows better like this...either way I like to think of strips as band aids.

new rear window design

my tinter called the local sign shop and had this decal printed on regular vinyl. the decal was put on the outside of the rear window, and trimmed the tint out from inside the window, then re-tinted the entire rear window with a 20% charcoal chrome tint (yeah i know i hate chrome but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up to get this done. what do you think?

^^Congrats!!

^^ Congrats!! You've got excellent taste in MINIs, speaking w/o bias of course. I've had mine several months and it still puts a smile on my face every drive. A DS/B R53S followed me to workn this morning. It's just a great car.

Just got mine last Monday. Washed her for the first time today and grabbed some iPhone pictures. This weekend I'm going to get some tints and a stubby antenna.

how do you post the photos

How do you guys and gals post the photos where they show up large in your post. So far when I attach photos you have to click on them to make them larger. Any help would be appreciated. I have photos of Blackjack that I would like to share. Just picked him up last night.

Well the easiest thing is to post them up on photobucket, then just copy the code that has the IMG code in it

You can also pick pics from other places with direct link and just put a IMG code in front and /IMG code at the end ( and IMG needs to be between [] and /IMG needs to between its own [] )
