..I tried using that on my front pieces, but it chipped easily, ..so went back to the durable plasti-dip up there.
..next on the list is to get a slight tint on the side arch reflectors & side scuttle lenses.
..another day.

Got him washed after the new windshield had set... Just in time for wet snow on the way home.
Oh well, at least he's a pound of grime lighter.

Ran the tank pretty low... Had those dashes for a good 7 or 8 miles.
Had my 8 year old w/me so she could have pushed.

Hit a major cut in the road earlier this week which threw the alignment out. Took her into the dealer to get the wheels true again. Big difference -- I can drive with no hands again, leaving hands free for texting, coffee, and radio surfing. Love this little car.

I'm prepping my OEM wheels to be powder coated black. Got 2 of them done. Heard horror stories about removing the TPMS sensors so brushed some liquid wrench on the threads - came out easily.
Have to still get a wheel wait off of one of them - the kind that are clipped onto the outer edge. Not sure exactly how to do that, but...

Yesterday, I dropped my MINI off at the shop to have my handbrake cable fixed.
/facepalm
once I get her back, guess I'll be more gentle with the handbrake.
