Got GBMINI back from Sublime Restorations today 🙂
I now have a glowing MINI colored Union Jack flag on the roof – and they cleaned & polished it too; it looked great (at least till I drove it out of the shop and into yet another New England winter storm):
No MINI today!
I took it to Sublime Restoration in Rowley this morning … Julian there will hopefully have a Union Jack flag painted on by the end of the week (maybe for my birthday – Friday).
Sad to report a rather stressful afternoon … hard as WheelDynamix tried (and they tried EXTREMELY hard) they were unable to win the war with the full roof cooperflags Union Jack.
The problems were cutting exactly along the edge of the roof (the flag is supplied much bigger than the roof), and eliminating the multiple creases in the front corners where the curves of the side of the roof meet the curves of the front.
Here is an early picture of the work (here you see Jeff of WheelDynamix still smiling – this was not how he (or I) looked later):
I will not post any final pictures because currently the roof is NOT finalized; the flag may yet come off and be scrapped 😦
