"Customize" 2006 MINI Cooper S ("Silverstone edition")

What I did:
To Base: 2006 MINI Cooper S, 5300 miles;
[]Porsche GT2 RS (http://www.thisweekinmotors.com/porsche-launches-online-configurator-for-the-911-gt2-rs/) paint scheme...
Painted flat black (7 coats, with 3 coats clear)=air intake, front upper/lower grill, rear lic. plate pocket trim, front lower air intakes;
[]"Pit race ready" wheels look: removed center caps for exposed bolts and painted red stripe to center axle opening;
[]Flat black 'Le Mans' has stripes added to each front fender/hood;
[]"1600 SC" (1600cc supercharged engine) brush script graphics to bottom lower doors (as per Porsche GT2 RS script and location);
[]retro 1960's Dunlop and Martini "sponsor" graphics to rear bottom sides of body.
[]retro 1960's "Team Gulf" (Steve McQueen racing) graphics to front and rear glass.
[]Jaguar XKR 'SuperCharged" emblem to left rear hatch.
[]retro 1960's "Silverstone GP" graphic to rear hatch below supercharged emplem.
[]retro 1960's "Gulf Silverstone" rero decal to passenger side rear window.
[]Created 'Christine' emblem (using movie title image- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085333/ ) and placed above glovebox; One of my fav. movies, and same red color, so I just had to lol (now the car only plays 1950's music!);

A Matched set! Rick just got a Chili Red 2006 MINI Cooper S (Supercharged), with only 5000 miles. Last year Lisa got a loaded 2003 'Red Velvet' special edition Cooper with 16000 miles. Both 'barn finds' now reside in our 'barn'; The garage now looks like the movie 'Italian Job'!!
