Picked her up on Thursday and getting it foiled..

Finally got my Cooper S last Thursday. And I must say, she is a lot of fun. It is impossible not to drive her hard through corners and round-abouts. Already did a couple of slides and I'm worried I'm gonna have to change the tires soon (if I continue driving the way I do).

Getting the car wrapped Matte White / Glossy Red and should have her sometime later this week.

This is the progress so far.

^found it.. looking good Axion! Did you install HIDs for your fogs?! I think you should look into getting the Mini LED DRLs. Those would look badass on your car. That is if you can justify spending 400+$ on fogs alone.

Thanks. Yes I have a set of 3k bulbs and 10k.

Why didn't you do the wrap yourself?

I would've if I had my own garage or any kind of work place. I live in an apartment and its really difficult to do it in a parking lot.

And plus, these guys work with the Mini dealership here in the UAE. So I gotta sweet deal + a 5 year warranty on the wrap.

It kinda sucks that I don't have a garage of my own. I used to tear apart my GTI in the parking lot to work on it and people passing by would just stop and look. Got kinda annoying. And for a big job like wrapping the car, phew.
