Had driving lights and sport strips added to my 4-door hardtop.

Tore back into the doors
Installed the updated outside door handles. I wonder how many people know that the door handles were updated on the first gen as a rolling change. The pivot points are different.
Installed a new coded lock cylinder
Installed the anti rattle clips on the door regulator. I wonder how many know that these existed and were only installed if you complained enough under warranty. I'm surpised they do work
Installed a new peice of factory glass in the door to replace the non oem glass.
I cleaned the door cavities and waxoyled the **** out of the bottoms.
I'll have to place another order with ECS tonight for some misc crap

haha, that is so funny. hmmm...my neighbor has a Fusion
Brought L'il Red home from the body shop for some cosmetic surgery. I was rear-ended and while that was getting cleaned up, I had my original ('02) white stripes taken off of the hood as they were looking very tired, had the hood resprayed and replaced the front aero kit bumper cover as it was very rock-chipped and the air dam had been missing since AMVIV8! Replaced all the black grill inserts in front with fresh plastic. I have bought magnetic stripes in a checkered pattern to match my mirror covers. I want to wait until the paint cures a little and have a 3M plastic protection added to the hood and aero bumper.
I'll try for a photo op this weekend to add pictures. It may be an '02 R53 but it looks soooooo sweet.

Yesterday, we threw a party for a whole bunch of friends at our house.
This load contained:
- two large coolers
- 160 lbs of ice
- 4 12-packs of soda, plus an extra 6-pack
- chips
- burgers (beef and veggie both!)
- buns
- paper goods
...and more!
No problem, any more than the dozen folding chairs were.
Of course, now I have to take the folding chairs back to the people I borrowed them from...

Yesterday I rebuilt my key using a "replacement" one from Amazon - sent from China - would NOT recommend - required some modification (dremel) to the base of the metal key part to make it fit in the new housing, and more super glue than I think should be necessary to keep things together, but at least I have a lock button again! Even the stick on MINI logo doesn't quite fit right in the unlock button. That said, for $6 I wasn't expecting perfection.

Looks like great party and a 914 in the background.

Got out the plast-dip this weekend and tested out painting the side piece. Opinions are always welcome. For now I am going to leave it, but will be checking into having vinyl put on for a more permanent solution. Also started taking plastic-dip off chrome pieces and sanding/painting black.
