TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Tigger got his roll bars and headlight rings done in dark silver vinyl, looks really good. I also got his dings removed and an ECU Tune. On the highway coming home I really noticed the tune in how he was more responsive. I bought him some presents too and got myself some MINI swag I am sure there were other mods. I know Lola got some things done and so did Coqui Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poison Ivy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Lola got all her scratches removed and paint touched up. Also her bonnet stripes were removed because of heat crack and replaced with brand spanking new white with black pin stripe bonnet stripes (same as before). As soon as she's bathed from the drive home she'll look amazing. El Coqui got a pulley installed and another part replaced (IDK what) by WMW. He also got his mirror caps painted red. We picked up red belt line tape to cover the crome. Geno got the horns that we bought from ElPolloDiablo that were delivered to the Dragon by Cricket and Laura. Like wise we picked up some presents for ourselves and the MINIs. Big ticket item was we each picked up a spare tire donut from Detriot Tuned.

JAB 67 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I had Way install the ATI crank damper that I had recently purchased from him. And Richard Lin of Show Car Detailing in Anaheim treated me to a demonstration of Black Wow on my trim and Sonax on my very dirty wheels.

JAB 67 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Richard took pictures at every step of the way: before, after, 50/50, etc. Perhaps he will post them? JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 He will probably post to FB, he posts a lot there. Black Wow is good stuff, it works well. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carman63 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I am curious to see about this stuff. What are your thoughts? Any pics, before/after? I've got Black Wow and Sonax, if you'd like to try both/either. That way you can draw your own conclusions I personally don't like BW as much as I do my Adams VRT, mainly because it takes 2-3 times as long to apply BW and to me it doesn't seem to last any longer than VRT. I'm still getting a feel for Sonax. It does give you a visual indicator that it's doing something (turns from fluorescent green to blood red) but you may find you still have to use a brush to get the tough stuff - just like any other wheel cleaner. Maybe I didn't leave it on long enough? I'll be giving Sonax another test this week, weather permitting. -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcveay Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I am curious to see about this stuff. What are your thoughts? Any pics, before/after? Jono, I've got Black Wow in my detailing kit if you'd like to give it a try. I'm sure Ali will comment that she's on a "Black Wow" strike but that's because she's planning on having the black trim painted and the Black Wow needs to be totally removed so the paint will have a clean/proper adhesion surface. For the most part, it works exactly as advertised. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenCactus Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Cricket got a CAI from Detroit Tuned, the Craven Speed dipstick that looks like a slinky and a Craven Speed iPhone mount. She also got a nasty door ding/scrape fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I like the design of the Craven Speed dip stick. The stock one scared me, our almost broke in half inside the engine.

GreenCactus Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I don't know if this counts as a "Dragon Mod", but Cricket got a new valve cover today. That's what my check engine light was for last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carman63 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Bender, my wife's MINI, got a swath of Paul Smith stripes across the roofline, to match the scuttles. He also was the proud recipient of a MINI FINI system, to hold a full-size spare tire. In case he meets another pot hole. Jennifer won a wind blocker from MINI Skirts, apparently. I was hoping for the V1 personally, but hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzer Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I was talking to the MINI Fini guys about that Spare holder. Since I don't have a spare right now it's tempting. But it would cover up all my boot stickers! Steve "Wizzer" P. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]2009 MINI Clubman S R55 "BATTPODD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
