[spannermonkey]

Got a mini sprite ( unmodified ), after going out to buy a sensible car for surfboards and dogs, currently in the process of buying a mini pickup which is in need of slight restoration.

I have a plain white mini sprite, pretty standard at the moment, only things i done to it are getting the word 'sprite' off the sides of the car, because i didnt like the way it looked, and i changed the front badge to an italian job badge, mainly because i got my old badge nicked and needed a new one, but i liked the look of the italian job badge more than the standard badge so i got it instead
Not really 'mods' as such, but i thought i'd mention them

This is my Mk III Mini from the UK. I live in Australia so it is quite rare over here.

Hope you like it.

Take a look at my website for more photos and mods as there is too many to list here.

I'm lovin' it

[marksmini]

surly the tidyest mini on the site!


i tale it you dont drive it daily?

[mutant mini]

I drive it anywhere I know I can park it fairly safely. Won't take it to the supermarket anymore however.

I am heavily involved in the Victorian Mini Club and when I go out on mini business I always take it. Of course we are at every event that we run. After all why do all this and never drive it. We go out in all types of weather, I went without it for 2 years while doing the mods so making the most of it now. Finished it last October.

hello and welcome to the mini forum

have you any pics of you car?

[Mini V]

:cool: well im a newbie to the forum guys... so please be gentle! lol. im 23 male from Leics. i got a 1000cc mini city e. Its red and its lovely! ive bought a k&n filter for it as well as clear lenses all round and a nice gear nob. ive even lowered the steering rack a bit (using that bolt n bracket thing!)

Im pondering wether i should keep its classic looks (i mean its perfect in every way as it is (as below - top left pic). no rust and v shiney!) or to "cooper it" or to go for the "zeemax" look (as below - main pic). maybe i should buy another cheap one and do that up. itd b a great shame to "ruin" the original looks of my "mini V"

:cool: hope to hear from some1 soon. lol.

hello and welcome to the mini forum :grin:

is that not your mini attached? or is it what you may plan to do next?

[Mini V]

cheers 4 the welcome minicooperman! :cool:

the mini in the top left corner (quite small) is almost exactly how mines is. altho mines does look a lot nicer due to a very nice paint job! The larger mini is what i am pondering over... i want to have a lean mean mini but at the same time itd be a big shame to restyle my city e, which is in its lovely original condition....
