Just looking at some old pics taken at the silverstone mini 30 show in 1989... Plenty of minis with White wellers & minis fitted with those awful rear nudge bars

how about double blade wipers.

Nice, where did you get them from? Could you get them in chrome?

Ah fair, my chances of finding chrome ones will be very slim then! They look cool though. I hope the wiper motor can take the extra resistance of two more wiper blades

My wiper motor had a hard time pulling one blade let alone four! lol

Definitely white weller 8 spokes!

A pair of rear fog lights wired up in the back window as high level brake lights.

Nudge bars.

Huge Cibie Oscars - two up two down (not with nudge bars though - very uncool!).

Peco back box!!

It's all coming back to me now!!

The '80's was all colour coded body kits and BBS alloy wheels. Think ERA Turbo in white with a full white leather interior.

1983 KAT mini



This body kit was avaliable in the 1980's and was designed by the same people who did the Tickford Metros and Tickford Capris.

Wasn't there a company called Richard Grant or similar?

Used to make a hideous looking (IMO) spoiler for the front of the mini (and other cars) if I remember correctly

^ Richard Grant are still going under the name RGM (Richard Grant Mouldings) and make all sorts of stuff like spoilers and eye brow kits.

isnt there a reason why we dont do what people did to there cars in the 80s
mainly because they made their cars tacky and godugly
