Hence why he’s called Damier. Below is a pretty cool picture. It was almost pitch black when it was taken, thanks to slow shutter speed the lights look great! I’m finally waving bye bye to the 15″ alloys to replace them with my next mod.

I think it’s every true mini owners project to get there car just how they want it as soon as they catch the modding bug. Then I hear once your car is complete you sell it… apparently! But we’ll see ;)   Obviously not everyone who owns one loves it as much as others. I’m on about someone who loves there mini to bits and doesn’t just use it as a run about, spends hours washing it and is part of a car club. For example the people in the picture below, which was taken earlier this year on the Notts Mini Club Peek run (I sadly wasn’t there).

Read on if you’d like to see the changes made so far…

Here’s how he looked when I bought him =]

This picture was after I fitted checkered mirror caps and had my windows tinted to 15% by Car-Stuff.


Then I added shark grill side scuttles

Then a bit of promo was added.

Took him shoe shopping. These were okay but not what I was really looking for. They were 18″ though!

Also recently fitted a powerflow exhaust for a better sound. Other things which are on my list of mods after new alloys are: shark chrome pollen vents, checkered A Panels (wing panel), roof checks right to the edges of the roof, strut braces. That’s it for now. Petrol head in the making >=]

That must have been over a year ago, but a couple of weeks ago I saw this article on Abduzeedo.com and thanks to Christopher Hibbert explaining the process I finally had a go last night. Waiting for it to get dark was a trial! The pics below are done by me and my mate, they’re not brilliant but not too bad for the first attempt. Next time we’re going to try using different colors and see how that turns out.

That’s me!

That’s my mate!

A big mess w/ a scary face :)

A bigger mess

Coming up with something that can actually be drawn in the short space of time – without seeing where you’ve just drawn – can be quite hard. Was quite fun to try out so if you have a DSLR and torch go and try it out too. It’s not as hard as I thought, in fact a massive ‘WHAAAY’ could be heard when we reviewed our first try which actually worked!

Today I went to a heritage event down in Wolstanton with the Notts Mini Club which I had prepared for with a 3 hour car cleaning session on the saturday… but then it rained during the night… typical! Thought I’d share some pictures, they’re not brilliant pictures – wasn’t in much of a picture taking mood shockingly enough… Must have been the super early start which was a shock to my system lol :P

If you own a MINI and generally like it a lot, and have maybe caught the modding bug join us here. It may be named the nottinghamshire mini club but it’s spread out to the surrounding areas, especially staffordshire.

I’m not a photographer. I just like to take pictures every so often and learn some new stuff whilst doing so. Here she is again, my cat Domino, the one eyed beaut! Here’s some recent pictures I’ve taken of her, shes such a poser!

The snow unfortunately melted and we were left with sludge but we carried on. I don’t think of myself as a photographer, but last year I rarely got chance to use my camera so one of my resolutions was to go out and use my SLR more and learn photography and maybe reach the photographer status one day.

I warn you, shes unbelievably cute and has one eye :)
