Add it to your gallery, then click on the thumbnail it creates, and then right click on the larger pic and click "Copy Link Location". Then, from the post window, click on the picture icon (Looks like a mountain) and paste in the link you copied. Hit preview post - you should see the picture.

you have to host it first, then you get the url and THEN you post it here.

Click the "paperclip" next to the smiley face... then choose the file from that window that opens. Once uploaded, you click the paperclip again, and you can select the photos you uploaded. This is one way. I think this will just put a small pic up that you then click on and it gets bigger.

Other than that, I think you have to have the pic posted on a website (flickr, photobucket, etc).

Good luck, hope that helps.

*edit... beat me to it*

doug, you're trying to link to a photo on your local computer... you need to upload it to a server. many of us use flickr.com to upload photos, but many others are available too.

p.s. looks like you got plenty of advice above ...

what's the plan? the whole car wrapped in white?

that's gotta be a pretty tough job... getting vinyl installed without air bubbles on just the trim pieces is tough.

Its not to bad, just takes some practice, and a few tricks of the trade. Ran a sign/graphics company for many years, and without graphics on it, and solid color like white, the vinyl can be stretched to conform. Apply some heat (blow dryer can work) and then let cool a bit, will stretch even more and can typically conform to almost any surface.

Perhaps it's just me but I am not a fan of the white vinyl.

To each their own though.

It could be because it's matte instead of glossy. That's why everyone seems to think I got in an accident and just haven't painted the panels yet, lol.

Once it's all said and done I think it will look pretty slick.

I think it looks very interesting, ...why are you wrapping your car in white though? -didn't like the red color? Planning on using it as a get-away car then tearing off the vinyl before the chase begins?

Really? There are very few Alpine White MINIs out there, and as far as I know there are zero matte white ones. And yeah, I'm extremely tired of red.

Plus vinyl wrapping is a very lucrative business It's a good skill to learn IMO.
