Cant remember where I found this picture now! (click link at bottom!!!)
Wheels look pretty good on it I think, rat look clubman would look better than round nose. Check out rat-look.com forum.
I'm partly resposible for this Golf!:

In my opinion, rat really doesnt work on a mini.

Me and my friend both had minis that we were trying to get the rat look going on, but you cant do any of the rusty bodywork on minis because the metal is just too thin and turns into holes too quick, volkswagens get away with it alot more because the metal is alot thicker.

when you think about it the rat look on some vw's is just a retro scuffy look, why dont you just go retro on your mini with the odd "dirty" bits?

I've just watched a vid to get an idea of what the rat look actually is,

but why do they all have roof racks with bikes?

a proprly ratted car takes more work to look after than a shiny car. plus most show ratters are mint underneath chromed parts and polished paint.

i think an elf or hornet wolud suit a rat ride better plus they are that bit rarer. if not done right it will just look like you have a unloved car FAIL!

Well euroing is generally - small wide wheels with plenty of dish, smoothed body work and suspension slammed to the floor.


so would it be best to use 10" wheels on a mini????


Yeah, im swapping to 10's soon, go for 10 x 6, if your lucky or loaded go for 10 x 7, 10 x 7 wheels seem to cost a bomb though!

Im just one of those people that doesnt get the rat look :lol:

But I love that "halfrauds" sticker on the back of the car posted!! :w00t:

leaving the headlight out is a little extreme, but looks awsome

my mini is getting a bit ratty, but it will be nice again soon

the one above look epic tho, second on loving the halfrauds sticker
