Hi all..... I'm deseaming the mini but came up with an idea but I need some good or bad comments

What if the bumpers where cut so you only have the corners fitted ?

Your thoughts please

Cheers James

Like an old lotus cortina? Could work... you'd need to fab up an extra mount to hold it in place.

Yes mate similar .... As I've deseamed I could put brackets anywhere really to suit.... I just can't picture it in my head lol

like the idea of deseaming all smooth and silky ............then add nasty sticky out bumpers..............WHY?

[jpw1275]

Was just an idea that's all

There was a German 3-wheeler Mini featured in Mini Magazine back in 2014 that had the center cut out of the front bumper, leaving corner bumpers. I thought it looked pretty good.

 

 

It was built be these guys: http://www.mini-meng...abrio_maron.php

WHY NOT? ... He wouldn't be fitting the entire bumper so deseaming would still be necessary for the desired look anyway.

I think it looks wicked .... May have to keep the stainless bumpers now lol ... And there's me thinking i had thought of something no one had done before ....

Thanks for posting

I wonder what the rear would look like ....... But would it look weird without moving the number plates ? Or would it look better with the plates in between the bumpers both front and rear

Cheers james
