Can we start a new classification 'tasteful modification of the week' ?

Reminds me of Leslie Ash after her collagen lip job.
Real head turner potential that one ...Last edited on Friday January 25th, 2008 08:01 am by android |

Nice one Droid. 
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the body kit 
Of course, standard 3.5" steel wheels are a must for this front end

"this has never been done before."
There is a very good reason for that

Just re-read the auction and noted
'i dont have any pics of the front end on a mini as i didnt finish building the shell.'
Pity, I'd have liked to have seen the 'finished' article. Would have been as nice as the green pick up that was on eBay a few months ago

| Very possibly - it could have been inspired by the same architect.

It may well do but it wouldn't fit through my garage doors, so I won't be bidding against you on this one!!

Just checked them out - more rare Mini items
That Vectra body kit could be just right for Norton's 'never been done before' project

And then sort out the V5C! DVLA still think it's a Grey 998.
Wonder if its former owner would recognise it?

mmm so he hasn't informed the DVLA
but I bet he has informed FOX TV beause they own the copyright

or maybe not

As Homer would say.... 'Doh'
Richard...further to our banter in the MCR event section, after less than one day I have found the perfect substitute for your S for the Tour, if it takes place

Thought it sensible to post it in this thread rather than the other one.

Oh dear. The white one looked the most promising of the three Andrew but I think my picnic would've fallen out of the boot by lunch-break time !
