To make a minibini???

A bini with a mini front??

A bini with an a series???

Please post pictures...I'm curious!

[leaky]

A bini with a 998 a series would be the slowest thing on the planet lol. I dare someone to do it though.

You could Minify a Bini cosmetically, would look a bit odd being a bigger car. Mounting an inline A Series to the Bini Gearbox may well be easier than a subframe style swap. There was a Honda knocking around with an A Series in place of its Vtec.

I remember seeing in one of the mini mags a guy that was selling Mini fibreglass fronts that attached onto Bini's with some sort of heavy-duty velcro stuff.
Dont think they would have been very popular though to be honest.

someone did BINI-fy a mini, and it was an absolute abortion - quality of work was admirable, but the concept was just all wrong.

dont get me wrong - I'm as Bini tolerant as they come - but this 'creation' was just awful.

I remember that mate.... username was something like scmax or something.. i can't remember his name fully, searching now...

[roofless]

I can remember everyone wanting to shoot it and burn it as the work of the devil when the pictures first surfaced - was in miniworld / minimag as well I think

[Retro_10s]

I thought it was fantastic, I didn't like the overall look of it, but the workmanship was incredible and the concept was good.

I think that ws the problem - very well built, and each individual idea was really very clever - but when it all came together - yoiks.

Finally remembered his name. SMACMAX

Here's the build thread with link to pictures.

I think she's asking about doing it the other way round.

Improving the MINI with classic Mini styling.

i remeber seeing a picture of an aseries in a honda civic. the guy had vtec'd his mini and and then thought, i might aswell put the aseries in the civic lol!

[trafficface09]

then both of these hybrids can have babies and create a liger!?! ha ha what a strange idea. why clasify a modern car?

[blackbelt1990]

There's a bini round by us with a Rover Mini Cooper bonnet and boot badge, and Cooper laurels on the rear quarters.... thats what I'd do

[ministar]

i hope cooperawk doesnt mind. he posted this in 'show off' in the digital section a while back.

i like it
