    Thanks all. I am very happy with the way everything came out and it really does seem like a completely different car.

    Sorry about the posting problem, I did not realize the album was marked private. I'm old, so you will have to cut me some slack. :lol:

    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:

    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.:(

    I replaced my right rear brake line in a parking lot in Oliver Springs, TN when mine failed. Luckily Dan Z was on the run with me and had a spare in his car, and I had tools. Super Duper Lucky.

    And Jan got me a new tune that gave me a ton of additional go, and fixed a throttle control issue I've had for a long time.

    And I finally figured out the right tire pressures for my Conti DW's in the twisties and mastered European turns on the switchbacks.

    And I added Dragon #10 to my A-panels.

    Awesome weekend.

    Way Motor Works got me hooked up with a DDM Intake, a 19mm H-sport rear sway bar and a NM torque arm bushing. My first mods that weren't purely cosmetic and I'm loving 'em! :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!

    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.

    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:

    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.
