Helix | Wrapped the Helix MINI with Military Green Vinyl

Alex@Helix · 05-02-2011, 04:18 PM

So every year we go to the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina during the MINIs on the Dragon Event. This year was my first year and we did a car build. We transformed Erics' (helix's Owner) wifes car from a mom-mobile into a mean green mini. We called it the Wildebeest build because we used parts that we accumulated over the years in the shop to do all the modifications. We wanted to change the cars interior as well as its exterior so we bought Matte Green vinyl and I spent the week vinyling the car. It was the "wildebeest" build because the animal was said to be the last one created by God because it looks like it has all the left over parts of all the other animals. I know its a MINI but its something that I am very proud of and I figured you guys would enjoy it too.

Alex

(3) 17" wheels and one 16" wheel.

Stickers that Erics kids stuck to the window while being carted around.

Took these off:

Made this sign after getting sick of 1,000 people asking "Can I ask what you are doing" followed by "Why?"

Front G4 Lip Installed

New Racing Seats

That mini looks crazy in that green. I like it. And are those spoon reps?!?

McMuffin · 05-02-2011, 04:25 PM

Mini's are gay, but I'd drive that one!

Alex@Helix · 05-02-2011, 04:32 PM

mini's are only gay if you let your balls touch. but on a real note the s are pretty fun to drive. drove a buddies (his wife says he's gay for buying it) and thought it was pretty badass. nice wrap though.

2-3 years back me and my brother drove down to helix to get supercharger pulley on my bros Cooper s.

Their shop was awsome and did great work and that mini hauled ass and spit flames after that pulley!
