People always forget three words on this forum.


In my opinion.

We even abbreviate to imo for all those who are lazy. If you don't like it fair enough, but somebody obviously does because they built it.


Imo, its a darn site better than alot of modified stuff around

I agree. If it had reasonable size wheels I'm sure most would like what they see

What bugs me is a roof chopped sprint is acceptable and oh so very cool, but larger wheels is an atrocity...

I know this thread was started for the large wheels but if people looked closer at it there are some trick things on it, rear lights and its glass smooth

Roof chop on it's own = not a Sprint, and (here we go) in my opinion they look out of proportion

Roof chop + full body chop = Minisprint (if made by Trickett / GT Equipment / S&A) and in my opinion, Minisprint replica if done by anyone else (with all due respect to those that have done them) these cars when done properly make you look twice to see what's been done and are in proportion

And to get back to the original post having seen the orange car in FL in the metal the standard of workmanship looked good, the car was in no way what I would want to do to a Mini, and neither is the white 'Italian job' car, but at the end of the day people can do what ever they like to their own property, then once they have done it must be prepared for the fact that not everyone will like what they have done, and be happy that they built something that they wanted :-)

Maybe if it had proper rear lights, no body kit and 10" wheels. It would look awesome! I love the paint job though! :D

I thought that was a given that it's our opinion.

To me, everything about it is just wrong. The wheels look stupid, the body kit is too big, the artwork is just hideous.

*the white one I mean.
