i quite like that mate good work

[philster]

yeah agreed i don't really like it all that much (sorry) but you've gotta appreciate the amount of work and skill thats gone into it.

Would be interested to see the finished article, maybe you could have a sticker in the rear window saying

"56% bmw free" lol

i like the spare wheel idea but i can't help thinking its too low? it seems to hang lower than the exhaust in the pix......could just be the camera angle.

lovin the work thats gone into this mate keep it up

Where/how did you get/make the frame for the tail lights? I have been trying to fit my bini taillights for weeks now with out a lot of success. Also, for the left hand tail light, how did you get it to clear the fuel tank? mine interferes with the corner that curls over the wheel arch.

[smacmax]

Welded up the hole where the tank came through the body gonna have to move the tank ,,prob put it in at an angle, the cut new hole for filler,,havnt just figered it yet but will let u know and put some pics up.

Must say, I'm not that big of a fan of the new mini, but that is pretty damn awesome.

[Bounce]

Wasnt too sure when this first poked its head up in the forum, but now I love it! Those rear lights look awesome!

Got an estimate of when it'll be finnished by?


Wont be long until its in a mag as soon as its on the road i bet!

[Snowfruit]

How did you get that section for the tail lights? Did you make it up or cut it out of a BMW Mini?

[Metahawk]

When the arches were fitted the bodyline looking from the front wasnt right, so spend quite a while adding metal arches on the wings b 4 I could fit the plastic arches and then side skirts, then resprayed the front again. pics here.
