there are a lot of minis posted indeed that do not qualify "stance" but in a lot of mini's has been put a lot of work and they still maintain the original look. Stance | Works is much more than just a heavy amount of negative camber and some airride, it's a movement which a lot of car enthusiasts appreciate and I'm convinced that a mini has earned his place between them, after all it's a classic !


You talk like StanceWorks is a style. It's not. It's a community built around the stance movement. I'm honestly beginning to question if you've ever even been on StanceWorks, I've yet to see you post.

The reason you aren't seeing Stanced Mini's is well, because there aren't any...well, not many. Most Mini's in this thread are lowered, yes, but have terrible arch gaps and poor fitment.

/Rant.

Ya, but you are the one that went against the stance rule... I still think that only photos of Mini's with nice "stance" should be posted in this thread. There probably isn't that many, and that is fine. Just having a ton of Mini pictures in here, doesn't work.

Stance rule? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

Don't get me wrong, there are some very well presented Mini's in this thread, but I personally would only regard a few as being stanced. But that's just my own opinion.

Well said. This thread started off ok, a few lowered minis with a sort of stance, now it has just been spammed to hell with any old mini that is low or has wide wheels.

If you want a real decent stanced classic mini, you need to build a space frame and plonk the shell on top.

Because it's a very well done Mini. The family had/have a whole load of various stanced VW's, which influenced the build of the Mini.

Lets stop arguing and questioning each others credibility on stance and so what if some minis aren't stanced at the end of the day i started this because i like the movement that stanceworks portrays and if a few minis that are posted in this thread aren't stanced thencheer up and just be happy someone posted it because i am always happy to see minis i haven't seen before and get some new ideas and things for my own and i do feel hellaflush is possible because when i did my hi-los with sportspack arches i did them wrong and it was sitting with wheel and arch touching but i reckon i could tuck the rear wheels with some simple mods i just haven't had a chance yet as i won't until its warmer and i have my mini tubbed but its def possible i just feel noones gone for it really before (i mean fully gone for it not just lowered)

I don't think it'll work, but if you can pull it off then fair play to you mate. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

This thread makes me question the fanboyism that is the world of stances cars......

I think most peoples problem with this thread is that its called mini stance. If you started a thread with the the title "black Minis" and asked for pictures of black minis, then the thread was spammed with red green blue pink etc etc coloured minis you'd be pretty annoyed.

Same with this, they wanted pictures of stanced minis and there are some, but most of the pictures are just minis, granted they are nice minis, but not what the the thread is about.

Also shows the difference between a 13 inch and a 10 inch wheel very well.
