Crappy iPhone pic but I got my tint done today and I'm extremely pleased with the results. 3M CS-35 all around except on the windshield. Next step is to swap out the grill trim to the JCW trim I ordered from OutMotoring.

I know, Right?!?! But I'm extremely new at this (my first car that is not just a point A to Point B deal) and been doing a lot of reading on it. Still not entirely clear on the process.

hey Mutodo,

your aero kit looks like a JCW, yet the lower area in front seems to come out more than most? -maybe it's just the angle of the photo ...or do you have something special. (I am talking about the front lower portion of the aero dam, the front lip underneath).

The front lip was redesigned a few months ago. They also introduced brake ducts in the lower mesh. Both can be added to any existing JCW aero kit.

Everyone's Mini's look so awesome! I hope mine looks as good as some of these sooner or later. I'm getting some stripes for Arty next week.

I am lucky to work at a school and can be home most days before 5pm so parking is easy.

Missed your question

I think we paid $95.00 for the stripes and paid $200.00 to have the old ones taken off and the new installed. I thought it was reasonable.

The local Mini dealer would not do the work. The installer did a fabulous job.

I drove the car to the dealership the other day for an oil change and stopped to get gas. It was a nice day and some guys were gassing up there Harley hogs. I tried to hide but they understood when I explained. Never again!! (My wife worked the swing and was sleeping. Next appt in the early afternoon. She's driving her own car!)
