    At the 1 month mark it was time for the first significant mod.

    Magdalena was feeling a bit under dressed so I got her some stripes! After much agonizing over the color, and knowing I wanted something on the subtle side, I decided on Deep Burgundy Metallic.

    I think it looks quite sharp on her Reef Blue. But then again I'm biased. :biggrin5:

    Props to Steve at Specialized Signs & Graphics, Inc. who did a bang-up job and tolerated my flip-flopping with colors!

    Thanks for lookin',

    Thanks for all the kind words. I love how the color changes with the light...a bit more red in the direct sun (and the metallic really pops) and deeper burgundy in the shade/evening.

    eMINI: My wife has been traveling on business and hasn't seen them yet! :devil:

    So you are gonna go with the : " Honey these stripes have always been on the car...Thanks for not paying attention to me or my car" and then give her the sad face..:(....so that you can get some more stuff....It will work !

    Your thread title makes me wonder if it is a reference to this fine old song, here set to a Lego animation:

    [ame=http://youtu.be/mOA_SUKEZRE]The Lego Gasman Cometh - YouTube[/ame]

    So now we need a Lego animation of 'The stripe man cometh'....
