cutting up a perfectly good shell and putting a non a-series engine in it, the a series is the minis heart and soul so why change that.


ugly lights and things are just personal touches that can be changed with ease from one owner to the next.
cutting up a mini and removing the best bit often cant be reversed all that easily, if you want a different engine build a spaceframe and put a fibreglass mini shell over the top instead

Hate the clear rear lights (even though I have them) not my choice came with them, much prefer the originals,
Dislike the headlamp peaks, or these 'lashes' people put on
Not a fan of OTT bodykits, or rediculous colours i.e PINK
Don't like the bullet mirrors either
And basically anything else that doesn't look right with the car imo depending on the style

Not a fan of this mod at all! I would never fit. :lol:

I also "dislike" :
10's under sports pack
tacky chrome arches and seam strips.
Black bumpers + grille
Center exit exhaust
Stupid head light stickers.... :ph34r:
Pink paint jobs? Heaven forbid
Body kits
Starmags

I have huge bucket seats with harnesses, angel eyes, suede steering wheel, clear rear lenses and a start button! Bite me :P

you say that and I am 6ft 1" and I still had some head room


Maybe that's been made for a Mini Me :lol: ....................................................i'll get me coat :X

To me it just looks out of proportion...

Can it ever be put back to normal? I mean that's a serious body modification right?

That's why a Minisprint looks right, you have to look twice to see whats been done, and a roof chop looks like...........a roof chop

That's why a Minisprint looks right, you have to look twice to see whats been done, and a roof chop looks like...........a roof chop


On the standard mini sprint that's fair enough, still not my cuppa tea but everyone's taste is different. But some just dont look right at all (overkill)

Nope it's real. Or should I say was. It was destroyed by a fire. Luckily the guy and his family got out in time.

Proves my point, it's not a Minisprint, no body sectioning, just a roof chop, not my thing at all
