Your car is hot, but I'll be willing to give up one of my "puppies" to have a garage like yours

SWINGMCS03,

Try sizing your pictures smaller. Then use the little mountainscape button
(visible when you reply) and insert the URL of your picture on the pop-up
when posting your message. Then the picture will show on the thread.

Hope that helps.

Good job shopping for them either way

One of the guys in the Sin City MINI Club had them on his PS/B JC Works car. He mentioned a while ago that he was getting different wheels, so I told him I wanted them when he took them off. He showed up at our Hoover Dam drive yesterday with black S-lites on. Hit him up for the wheels and he said $300. My immediate response - "Done."
I get them tomorrow night. And my wife is out of town tomorrow. Might have to see what the handling difference is.

I would like to dechrome my S too. By what process are you doing it i.e. type of paint, application, primer, etc. Is it relatively easy or is it worth paying someone to do? Thanks.

I am using SEM brand paint in a can, trim black for the side grilles and emblems and a gloss black for the filler cap. It is pretty easy it just takes time for all the prep work. I sanded down most of the parts with 180 grit and sometimes used 220. headlights, window trim and door handles are the only thing left!!!!!!!!!!!
