Hi again Digital Mini area!,

 

I'vr been in abit of a mid way position on wheather I like the Metro front, i've come to the conclusion that if I don't like the car as a whole i'l sell up and buy something else, i've recently been trying my hand at Editing photos of the front to try and improve it but can't seem to get a feal for it.

 

I'm using Microsoft Paint because that's the only thing i have on my 10 year old Laptop and think for what time and affort I spent it's not too bad, but far from seeing how it'd be in reality.

 

Thats why i'm here finaly to ask if somebody could lower my Metro quite low, keeping the whels inbound but allowing the hubcap, which sticks out furthest to just be poking out like in my Edit of the silver metro below.

 

Also i've cleared out the lenses because I think it looks much cleaner.

 

The other thing, if possible to do is taper the front valence in, it peaks out at the botom and was wondering what it might look like if it was like say...a Mk1 Fiesta front panel lower section ?

 

Any help and comments on styling is much appreciated, if you want to go freestyle and edit random bits in i'd be happy to see that too :)  I need all the help I can get as I really don't want to sell Cuey.

 

Cheers,

Cliff

 

 

I think thats a good selection of pictures ? Any more or better ones please just ask, anything to make it better.

Oh and heres a picture with the bumper on, I think it looks abit bettter with it off but some custom bumper might suit it perhaps ?

Also worth mentioning, fabrication wise i'm not too woried on complex designs, more of a project then seeing as there's barely any rust on Cuey :)

Tiz a shame you're getting rid, better than getting rid of the Mini though I guess.

[creakyjaws5533]

Yeah haha I'm still tempted to keep it but I need money haha maybe lots of lottery tickets

Hmmm, thats got a very stealthy look to it, definatly looks good I'l say!.

 

That should give me something to think about, like how to Cap the wheels like that and about other things that need altering to acheive a lowered car without being just for show, I have been looking into air suspension.

 

Thanks

Whats peoples thoughts on going down to 10" wheels on a Metro ?  Or is bigger the better look to fill the arches up ?
