Final ? I think so. But only time will tell.

If you've been following The Doctor's transformation, you know he started out looking like this:




You saw the white stripes come off. Some of you wanted him to be left nekkid. Sorry... He got new stripes with wide red pinstriped edges.



You also saw Dr Evil get Redline Goods perforated red leather boots...



UJ Cabrio Headrest Decals...



Matching Center Wheel Caps...



Matching Warning Label Covers...



And a nice, fresh detailing with Prima Swirl, Amigo, and Epic.

Now... the final (?) touches.

Doctor Evil's new driving lights and his new name tag:




And... custom designed, by yours truly, with some help from Mike at AC.... door sill plates:




Thanks for checking on on this final installment of "Dr Evil's Transformation".

By the way, Dr Evil also got a new toupee (ragtop), courtesy of MINI of Towson.

I think Roxanne is going to have to let me mod her PW MINI now because I've run out of aesthetic mods on two of our three MINIs.

 

whoo hoo!! thats awesome. i like the door sill plates. Dr Evil is cool!!

 

Tatefully done. good work.

 

Yup, done very nicely, now you will have to get your sig-pic updated.

 

Sweet. Love the sills. Blimey's custom sills are holding up well, and are one of my favorite pieces of you-ification.

 

Thanks, all.

Oh yeah, forgot about the sig needing updated. Gotta have those driving lights on there. And maybe Craig can get the "DR EEVL" tag to show up too. Thanks for the reminder, '81.

Yeah, Blimey, Mike makes a quality product there. With the doming material he uses, I suspect those door sill plates will last as long as the car. Especially since they only see about 10 seconds of daylight per day.

 

why did you need a new top already?

 

It's an '05 convertible... the first year they were made. MINI has a service bulletin out that the 05 ragtops show wear patterns due to improperly padded (ie, not padded) roof brackets. Mine was showing some of those wear marks. If you look at those top two pics, you can see some of those grayish spots I'm talking about.

 

The driving lights really pulled the stripes together nicely...i like the new transformation

 

Ooops - double post

 

Looks Great!

 

Dr. Evil looks fantastic. I also like that you know when to stop...

I was one of the many women who liked him nekked, but I have say, he certainly turns heads with his final look.

 

Thank you, Poke, son of the infamous Blimey !

And thanks also to you, wonder. Yes, as much fun as I have doing the aesthetic mods, I don't want to over-do things and turn a good thing into a negative thing. And it's good to hear you like him even after he put some clothes on !

 

Still one of my favorite MINIs. The JB is such a great color and the Epic makes it look liquid. Nice work and great mods.

 

Thanks, Chuck. High praise, given the source, that's for sure.

Maybe some day Dr Evil will win a trophy or two like yours has.

 

Looks good, but I liked the boot stripes. Although they might be too much with the graphics on the rear of the seats... Nice work!

 

Boot stripes are still there, Matt. That pic above is one I took in the middle of my mod frenzy.

Here's how it looks from behind today. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them though because they might be too much, as you say.

 

OK next question when are you going to start moding to make it faster and handel better?

 

No plans for performance mods. That beast already has enough horses and outstanding handling. After driving the Autobahns for seven years, I already have enough problems keeping the speedometer out of triple digits. I certainly don't need any more temptation than Dr Evil dishes out now.

 

Well I guess I can see where your coming from. Car looks great BTW.

 

Thanks... appreciate it.

 

That is a sweet ride!

 

Thanks, Triple 9s.

I took your sig's advice and checked your gallery. I'm liking your ride, too. And those are two very cute young ladies you have also.

 

what you might want to look at now are these.

 

Looooooove it
