hey,
i keep toying in my head about debumping the rear of my mini to match the front...
im worried about loosing the retro look... if you get what i mean...
does anyone here have a debumpered yet retro looking mini?
i seem to remember there being a white debumpered one with white wellers that looked rarther good...

ive always been a fan of grinding the bumper lip down to about 4-5mm and tapping on the chrome or black sill trim,
basically like a tiny bumper, its a bit of a 60's-70's mod that popped up in a mag a little while ago and i loved it

My car is deseamed, but I made brackets to bolt the bumper on. It looked odd once I put the big wheels and guards on without the bumper.
I think the deseam look works for retro, but... I think bumpers with overriders and nudge bars are more retro.
