MINI2

burns863 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 02:06 PM

Hello there mini2ers

Just here to post a couple of before and a couple of after pics from this weekend. Had my MINI detailed with scott at Obsessive Car Detailing and she looks amazing

I recommend anyone take their MINI

I would have done it myself but I dont have the time at the moment, and I am also short of a PC for removing the unwanted swirls! Iv got a couple more pics on my phone, which I will upload soon as I have downloaded from my phone! Credit to scott for his hardwork, and also these pictures he took during working on it

..::Before::..

..:: After ::..

Isnt she beautiful? lol

I can't see any of the images

burns863 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 02:15 PM

Iv just had the same problem, even though the URL's are correct. Rick click the little red cross thing and click "show picture" then it should work if you do it a couple of times.

Absolutely no idea why they arent working properly, all URL's are fine, when I get home from work if they still arent working then I will resize them to the limit for mini2.com and attrach them rather than linking

nothing showing...

I have this OCD when it comes to my car... as certain people know.. i took the wet and dry sand paper to it yesterday and buffed it up

Firefox users don't even see the "little red cross thing"

Unless the images are huge, 'Manage Attachments' will downsize them for you.

Thanks in advance for using clickable thumbnails

Nope nothing for me you've exceeded your transfer limit if you paste the URL directly into the browser.

Yeah looks like you sprayed the plastic spray on and forgot to wipe it off.

:: Jon :: · Oct 2nd, 2006, 04:55 PM

the question is how much???

mark-o · Oct 2nd, 2006, 05:04 PM

Exceeded your Xfer limit - the piccies are gone.

burns863 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:18 PM

£150, 11 hours work. The main priority was the swirls, and it is completely swirl free now

Was kind of hoping for some positive feed back from mini2ers

The engine bay isnt greasy at all, its just very clean. again:

ps sorry about my webspace. Free stuff I hardly ever use. Will move them soon as I get a chance to photobucket or something like that.

Is there anybody out there who likes my MINI?

MarkW19 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:27 PM

We can't see it mate! But I'll like it as my old Cooper was IB/B

burns863 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:46 PM

Pics Fixed. Used photobucket

Still very sad though. I was really happy with my shiny, swirl free MINI but iv been knocked off my happy hill now

MarkW19 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:49 PM

It looks great mate...I had loads of swirls/scratches on my IB/B....not good for that.

Bhozar · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:55 PM

Shows that I have a long way to go before my engine bay looks that clean. Great looking finish on the after pictures, looks like a new car sat in a showroom.

burns863 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:57 PM

cheers mate! Glad I have found someone who had the IB/B colour combination! You got a works now? (Guessing from your sig!). I am hoping to upgrade to an S in a few years, only 20 at the moment you see and cant afford insurance! I love my MC tho

I too was very please dwith the finish! Engine bay was kind of a side thing, bodywork was my priority! Kind of wished i had done it myself but i just dont want the hassle of importing a PC then buying all the pads etc. Gona do my best to keep her swirl free now!

MarkW19 · Oct 2nd, 2006, 07:59 PM

I loved my IB/B Cooper too...and like you couldn't afford the insurance (or at least wouldn't want to pay the stupid amounts!). I'm 23 now, and it ain't bad at all

supa-dupa-cooper · Oct 2nd, 2006, 08:06 PM

A clean MINI is a happy MINI

Looks lovely and clean and shiny, wish my engine bay looked that nice

I love mine whens its sparkling clean. Washed it tonight, that layer of road grime was annoying me

Import a PC?

I am going to take my intercooler off this weekend so I can polish up all the metal in the engine bay. Wish I had done it last weekend. People kept sticking their heads in my engine bay to take a look as it was cooling down from a mini track day thing. Was covered in cack.

My last mini was a cooper in velvet red. The previous owner ran some kinda franchise to do with detailing so all he did each weekend was turn up at shows and stick the car on a stand.
