The coolest one I've seen so far was a classic Mini Moke, but I guess I'm in the wrong forum for that comment!

I saw one that was crunched up and mangled. That was very ugly.

Haven't seen an ugly one yet... dirty MINI's, but that can happen. I can imagine what an ugly one would look like. It could have bad mods or, (these really bug me), tasteless stickers like a young boy urinating on something!!!!
Not funny, not clever.

Dogspeed.

Dirty does not bother me since that just says I'm driven more than cleaned.

I teach my young boy not to urinate on things. Those stickers are really in poor taste. Unless your from Brussles.

There was a thread on here a while back about some aftermarket purple MINI that was really ugly. Then there was the concept car that got completely altered so it was a 1 seater with LCDs and gadgets everywhere. If I remember correctly, the driver's seat came sliding out of the back of the car or something. I'll have to see if I can find it again.

I think that one is the concept car I was talking about. But I saw anotehr picture with the driver's seat extended out. You could see the rails it rides on and everything.

just look in Go Mini.

full of ugly ricy mini's. I really like hoy in that mag they show close up pict of rims and the rums are full of curb scrubs. and the engines are dirty. I though magazine quality was show quality. man they have some ugly mini's in there. those after market ground effects look like crap.

I can't honestly say I've seen a MINI that was truly ugly....even the above mentioned examples would be okay....say if they were repainted. Well, at least the core of a good idea is there, right?...............(silence).................:lo l: Okay, at least they are thematically consistent .

That said, the only MINI I've seen that I felt was "troubling" was a Hot Orange convertible at the dealer with a blue top!!! Seems off to me, I dunno...

Oh i want one... would make a good company truck! Get like a 4ft ladder and strap it to the roof... i'd make the world's smallest plumbing truck... And the MINI would be a legit write off ...

Yellow MINI ambulance?

The alpine MINI is a bit overdone but for reasons that are obvious-
Shock value
You won't easily forget you saw it and you'd remember "Alpine" was responsible.

The yellow MINI van is a cross between a taxi and an ambulance-
They would make good delivery trucks, mail trucks, or even a paddy wagon for cities on a small car budget like in europe.

Ugly MINI? Besides the dirty ones , the MINI isn't easily made ugly out of the box. You have to alter it to make it weird and even at that it might still look pretty good still.

And don't read this repulsive article-
