    Nice job!:drool Once I looked around a little I was thinking it was a custom job. The only thing I found was from Japan, which I would assume would be pretty pricey.

    I might have to give this a try unless you want to hook me up. :Thumbsup: I will be sending you an email here soon for some details.

    I have a MINI Paceman Cooper S all4 as a courtesy car this week. My wife opened the rather large and tall boot and couldn't reach it to close it after loading er up with groceries. :cryin:

    and she whined that the doors (and I agree) are too big.

    We took advantage of the cool weather to head to Home Depot and bought some herb and tomato plants while others are inside shivering.

    I took mine out today in the pouring rain and an aggressive alignment done for the Dragon.

    The only thing I have left to do is oil and trans fluid change this weekend before a wash and wax next week and head out to Fontana Sunday April 27th.

    I have an 03 S and I'm replacing the supercharger, installing JCW intake and a modified head along with some suspension upgrades.

    Nothing as ambitious as you, just a good old fashioned car wash. From a dirt ball to a shiny Blu MINI. :D

    Gang mod? Not sure what that is. I have the hash marks on my '96 Corvette GS clone and like the looks. Found a friend on the "other" forum that had made a set for his car and after talking with him, he graciously made a set for my car. I'm also going with black spoked wheels with a polished rim like the Vette. Appreciate the complements. I'm happy with the way it's coming along. I've been doing a few performance mods and am finally getting around to some cosmetic work.

    Notice the hashmarks and wheels. This was on The Dragon a few years back.

    People call the grand sport stripes "gang marks" on MINI's. Don't ask me why I have no idea.
