Those look really good. Looks like OEM MINI Sport stripes across the hood "bonnet" and custom across the door , like the JCW side sport stripe, but reverse theme.






Nice !

Graphix, rims, carbon fiber spoiler! I did the carbon fiber to get rid of the glare from the sun when the spoiler is up. The new rims I liked better than the stock.

Rod,

Your 'Black Widow' certainly makes a bold statement whenever you hit the pavement. It's apparent you take very good care of her. Excellent!

I have to tell you, RodSpindler, you have taken your Roadster and given it true personal style. It looks FANTASTIC! I love every last detail of your mods. Absolute perfection. Congrats!

If anyone is in Salt Lake City, Motoring Skins is the place to go. Matt is a perfectionist and he is a marvelous person to deal with.

Here are a few pictures of Scarlett at the coast after we picked her up. I need to schedule the day to have her Clear Bra installed. So far, an absolute joy to drive. On the way back home, we have already clocked 735 miles on her. We went through a few "bugvilles" on the way back, so she needs a wash.

Here's a couple of recent shots of Lil Raggi with his new license plates, finally. Only took three months.

Do you mean the modified platypus? It looks great.

Hemisedan, I'll be honest, at first I could never get into pepper white, but between what you did, and I saw one with green stripes, these cars really look amazing.

I see you're in Iowa, are you going to do Mini's on the MACK?

Probably not, burned too much vacation time already.
Steven, thanks for the compliments. Still need to get the exhaust done, but will have to wait until Ole Nelly is finished. Keeps getting closer.
