Hi,
I was wondering if any of you guys had pictures of de-seamed minis or smoothed minis
The reason for asking this is I would like to do this to my next mini

a shell needs a vehicle identity to register on the V5, your modified shell won't have one

Smooth, yes, deseamed Ive never liked. Its what makes a Mini a Mini in my eyes! They need the bumpers too

yes you loose the original identity when you modify the shell so need a new one

Have you got this on permanent copy and paste?, no wonder your post count is so high, if everyone kept all their cars completely standard what a boring place the world would be. Now having said that I understand why we can just have everyone cutting their cars up and creating something that's unsafe for other road users, but surely the better advise would be to have the car modified by a professional body shop and consult VOSA before carrying out any work or buying a highly modified car, rather than just constantly posting about the IVA / BIVA tests, and just pin this advise to the top of the forum, job done and we don't have to go over the same ground all the time :)
