Wow, what a great day today was. Got the John Cooper Works wheel installed (albeit with tripping the air bag light), hung out at Detroit Tuned for the “clean up” party on a beautiful day, with old and new friends, then capped it off with the Red Wings 2-1 win over the Penguins to bring [...]
Finally tore apart the dash and painted all my chrome line interior trim rings

Also blacked out [...]

Here are some more decent pics from Minis on the Dragon 2008.
Special request for Paul.
Well, not being one to leave anything alone. I repainted my side markers (inner bits blue) and blacked out the “S” part, replacing the red sticker with a blue one I got at the dragon.
Some pics from Minis on the Dragon 6. I took a lot more, but really, how many pictures of Mini’s do you need to see?
