    So...whatcha get done?

    Me, I had GS type stripes added to my car by Todd of Todds Mods. If it ever stops raining here I'll take a picture and show them off.

    Not a mod but more a maintainance item I had new rear rotors and pads installed when I ran out of rear brake. Rotors were from Way, pads and detailed labor from Chad. Thanks guys!

    I had bonnet stripes, boot stripes, a Black Jack Roof graphic, a CF boot handle and CF scuttles installed by Aesthetic Creations and a tow system by MINI Fini. Way worked on the coding, but mine is an '11 and the software isn't finished yet. We have been trying to get the coding done for a few weeks, so this was just another attempt. We did get the windows and sunroof to work with the key fob, so 1 down.
    I had some other mods that I wanted but have decided to have Way do them next week and leave his time open at MoTD for people who don't live close enough to have him work on their car regularly.

    Way did TSW springs, rear lower control arms, 19mm sway bar and a Craven Speed short shifter. G4 did the wing extension and splitter. Mike (AC) did a awesome Dragon roof graphic and Craven Speed installed a cool E-brake handle. I have a brand new car now. :Thumbsup:

    I had Way put in a DDM Street Intake. Oh, man I love the whooshing sounds the engine makes now! Totally worth it!

    Oh, they also installed a scoop heat shield, but my scoop is already warped, so a little too late for my Clubbie... :(

    MINI Fini installed a chrome scoop insert.

    Hopefully all of these mods help my Clubbie breath a little easier!

    Installed a new alternator on mine from 1AM-330AM between Saturday and Sunday... HUGE kudos to Hendrick Mini for going above and beyond the call to get an alternator to me Saturday night!

    Also installed Hawn HPS brake pads, they're rather nice...

    The only mods for my R55 JCW were decals, a Dragon license plate frame, and some coding for windows/sunroof open/close, unlock when key is removed, etc.

    My wife's orange R57 got it's first visual mod, in the form of some new scuttles:

    I had a new GP intercooler installed at Waylen's, as well as a larger DDM air diverter to take the place of the now-too-small ALTA air diverter that once was on top of the now-obselete OEM intercooler. Waylen also changed my brake fluid and supercharger belt so I can now do this year's HPDEs and twisties safely. Thanks, Way and Matt! :Thumbsup:

    My driver's door and bonnet dents were quickly and cheaply removed by the paintless dent removal guy from Georgia...thank you, thank you, thank you!

    My roomie and I installed the 3rd light brake pulsar that I bought during the MA group buy. It works really well...thanks again, SNEEZY! :Thumbsup:

    Tigger got a DDM Cold Air intake from Way, love the louder super charger sounds. Way also installed the chip so that the top will operate with one or two taps, I love watching it go "Look no hands!"

    Then there was the usual array of Dragon stickers, a new license plate holder, some Prima detailing products.

    One of my favorite MINIs at MOTD!:Thumbsup: (But I'm not partial to orange MINIs or anything.) It was nice meeting you both.

    Gromit's only mod was a 19mm rear sway bar from Way Motor Works. Unfortunately my wife was supposed to get several mods on her Clubman, but mother nature got involved and she couldn't take time off from work.:(

    Way installed DDM Works intake and sent me home with a Forge intercooler. Since all it does is rain here I guess I will just have to stay in the garage :cornut:
