I finished clearing the carbon parts. I may not put the mirror caps bask on. They look good black I think.
Today was a Chicago MINI Motoring Club casual meet and greet at a new motorcycle themed coffee house. The owners were thrilled to have us come and hang out even though we mostly filled their parking lot There were 15 or so MINIs and one classic Mini stopped by. Here is a link to a couple more pics from the morning https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjC9rx9
"The MINI with the decal on the 1/4 window is what gave me the idea for my car." That was originally a sunroof graphic that I believe was mis-printed with the logo not centered well.. I got it as a gift from someone, and was trying to figure out what to do with it, and I noticed it would fit well in the back window so I tried it on a whim. Turned out I loved the look and have kept it.. I cant remember when I originally did it, but I do have pics with it on from 2006 so it was prior to that.
Mine are also sunroof decals. They are perforated so from the inside it look like a tinted window. The guy that installed them did a great job. it was not easy to get them on straight with all the angles and the curve in the back.
Went to a car show yesterday. It was a little different it was a low rider show, but I went anyway. There was no charge so why not . It surprised we how many real liked my car. I'll try to post some pic later.
It's time to start getting ready for the show next Sunday. My detailer loves this time of the year, all I do is pay. That's what happens when you get old.
Today was front brakes for the 2012 Clubman. What should have been a few hours turned into an entire day due to a rusted on set screw and a self-inflicted rounded off caliper bolt. I chiseled and ground out the set screw and bought a bolt extractor socket for the other one... worked a treat. Waiting on new bolts which will arrive tomorrow to finish everything up
