New toy on the way

[DETLMAN]

A while back I ordered a new car to play with and also to show at the local shows. It showed up at the dealer this week and I just thought I would post a couple pix of it in pre prep form.

I have a long list of cosmetic enhancements to do once it actually gets to california ( its in ohio ) Hopefully it will be mostly done before the scmm clinic in january.

here are the pix...you know I had to get black

I'm looking forward to seeing it at the upcoming Mini Cooper Clinc.

One question, will you clay it b/4 you wetsand it?

No its going on a truck, I would definatly stop by if I were driving back. I chose not to because the weather isnt great road trip weather right now and I would rather have it make its way here in a covered truck without any rock chips

You can stop by classic and inspect it for me if you want Should be going on a truck friday or saturday.

I will have to check it out real good when it gets here and then decide what it will take to make it as close to perfect as possible. I would like to avoid sanding it if possible since I actually plan to keep this one for a long time.

I am going to have all the peble trim smoothed and painted so it all matches.

BLACK....what was I thinking ?

To buy black you have to be beyond car crazy. You have to be legally Nuts!
Awsome Mini by the way, does it have the JCW kit?

[Superior Shine]

Mini Cooper Clinc?!?!?!? You better make it so Mike can show you how to detail!! They have this new stuff out called NXT.

[DETLMAN]

No jcw, too pricy for what you get. $6500 extra, for that I can mod the car further and make more power and handle better. There is ther warantee on the jcw but its not worth it to me.

Joe I will ask about that NXT stuff...
