I love the rear of the car...

GREAT WORK

P.S. Very hot interior! Hope you don't mind the continual cleaning obligation :-)

+1 -- great job on that rear bumper -- and the front (cleaning out the middle grill looks very nice).

Also very impressed by that engine bay -- what are all the engine mods on this car? Only seem to need an engine dampener.

That's a grand looking MINI with all the leather trim etc. Looks to me that you're from the UK?

All I can say is DDDDAAAAAMMMMMMM^^^^^^^
THAT LOOKS AMAZING.
I love the subtle exterior mods. The carbon fiber fenders look great, and I love the little smoothing of the bumper.
Now, for the interior...man that cost you a pretty penny, but hey it is just WoW...I mean I was speechless when I first saw it. Very Nice. Has to be one of my favorite interiors. The other being a complete m7 car...I'll have to look up the owner's screen name. It has a quilted pattern like yours.

Category? How about "awesome"?
The more you show off, the more impressed I am with the attention to detail on this car.

As I noted above, I love this car.

It's hard to suggest anything additional . . . but to me this car seems to call for a black roof and mirror caps -- just a thought.

I did really think about that along time ago but apprently in the uk the hardest spec to buy is the grey with white roof around my area there are 4 5 minis grey with black roof.

If i do decide to go black roof then the shell is going pure white so who knows but if that goes white i don't think the contrast on the interior will be as striking so i'll be back to square one again ha ha.

additional mods will be new steering wheels a few more tuning parts were lookingino big porsche rear brake conversion mainly for looks and iv'e just bought all spare engine mounts supercharger inlets to have them powder chromed fingers crossed.

Just stick it in 'General Discussion' although it may be a bit 'wild' for the conservative Mini2 lot

Wicked. Great. Can I ask what suspension you are running with the wide wheels?

I love the mini but I think I'm just as interested in the Spec B(?) Focus Rally car in the back there! Looks awesome. You're obviously a nut!

How did you achieve that appearance of the rear bumper? What did you fill the grilles in with, and the back-up light?
