CrutchfieldAdvisor: So, last time we talked with you guys you were in the middle of the process of re-doing the car. How did the installation end up for you?

Steve Brown: Well, I gotta tell you, it came out better than I expected. We have high expectations, but this exceeded it in every way. It really, really happened with this car.

Alpine's Mini Cooper consistently drew a large crowd at CES.

CA: It looks like you made some changes — I guess that's always what happens once you get into the middle of it. Some things that you wanted didn't work out, other things came up?

SB: Right. Well sure, I mean you come into a car with a basic concept. You have to work it as it goes, because certain things work out and certain things don't. You might have a great idea, but it may not work out in the space that you have or the car that you have or the design that you're trying to achieve. It may make it worse to try to do too much, and do the wrong thing. We really try to do just the right amount of style and just the right amount of product to make the car look like we want, without going overboard.


CA: What are some things that came up that were ideas you had in the middle of the installation process that you implemented that you didn't realize you were going to do when you started out?

Mike Vu: The chrome accents. That came later in the install.

Chrome accents such as these grilles really stand out against the blue paint.
