You'll get a quote for this work by calling up companies and asking them! Depends how much work needs doing to the car before hand too,... just call people, it's the only way to get a quote that'll be helpful. Did i mention you need to call companies up and ask for a quote? >_< :huh: do it.

The kit could be sprayed seperate from the car,.. Any Paint shop should be able to match the colour you want.

also, does anyone know where i can get a rollcage from? just the rear bit? just to look good really.


lots of places (huddersfield spares to name one) make 'fake, for show only' roll cages... however,.. these have often been proved to be potentially very dangerous in a crash and also pointless to install when you look at how much a proper working roll cage costs,.. and they're no less hassle to fix than a 'fake' cage. Do yourself a favour and get a real one,...

with regards to your first question. you need to know what body kit you gonna get as a few out there?
and also if your gonna get spray work done ? full car is better.
your looking at about say 800 to 1500 for the outside depending on who you get to do it and the finish you want.
try a coachworks. and also strip the car right down (saves a heck of money)

what i meant by stripping the car is if you take to spray shop, take everything off before you get there (ie) window wipers, mirrors,headlights, grill, bonnet chrome( even glass if your gonna change colour of mini) etc, anything that they would have to take off to spray outside of car.
except wheels lol.
get the car trailered to spray shop if poss? as removing all these things and driving it there may cause police to have a good look. ( i should know lol) had my biggles goggles on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
