Yeah you get the bodykit then modifiy it so thats its unique and yours :grin:

[Oldskoolbaby]

Yeah but lets be honest. Youll only be able to cut it there, add a vent here and smooth it there. Theres just not enough bodywork on the mini to be radically different.

Not a fan of kits... reminds me too much of southend seafront on a saturday nite!

Take the Bumpers off and smooth it out... show the real curves of a mini off!!

My cars a Radcore Retaliator Conversion,

Definitely the best looker.

Definitely the most difficult to fit!

Have a look at my page on the forum and you'l see how i did mine.

Looks incredible when finished.

6 - 8 Week wait as they are made to order.

Also everyone has the Zeemax kit, and if the Majic is fitted nicely it looks exactly like the Zeemax.

MiniSpeed have produced a kit very similar called the Eliminator. (Funny how they produced this after having my car in the workshop for weeks on end...lol)

[Don't Panic]

I noticed you also have 13 x 7 wheels and lowered suspension, do these not rub on the arches?

I have 13 x 7's, a zeemax kit, and standard suspension and mine rub at full lock.

Also what ground clearance do you have at the front? i've about 3 inches without it being lowered :saywhat:

[minimadjonesy]

While I do like some kitted minis, most now look too similar for them to interest me in putting them on any of my cars!
My current car (in my avitar) is undergoing a retro refit, has got 10" wheels already, stainless bumpers, thinking about overriders and corner bars and I've just fitted mk2 rear lights! now looking for a lucas spotlamp for my reverse!

Hi everyone,

We're doing a special on our kit in January, it combines the looks of both kits you mention but with a slight mod to the sideskirts!

See the web site for details. Some of you may have seen us at Malvern a few Sundays back and we'll also be at Stafford as well at the end of January.

We're knocking 15% off the kit price - and all our advertised prices include postage & packaging - see our advert in Mini Magazine.

Regards,

Les

Yeah but after all the smoothing out the mini then I want too add big wheel arches

[bacardigeezer]

Don't Panic,

I have Hi-Lo's and Koni Shocks all round which enables me to adjust the ride height. The Koni's give a much firmer ride, stopping the wheels from rubbing under the arches at every bump.

As regards to the 13 x 7's rubbing the front valance, I have removed the offending fiberglass.

Trial and error i'm affraid, every time it rubbed i removed some more until it stopped.

I found that adding the camber, caster and tracking kit made a huge difference.
