Not really into body mods and stuff like that, but i have to say, i really like yours
Its a bit different from the usual!

[Retro_10s]

Yeah nice. There's a few other people on here who have 'frenched' the rear lights in and deseamed down to the sills.

Bike mirrors (F1 mirrors) jus seem to get more and more popular!

a lot of cutting, welding and filling and alot of time,, mind i think frenched lights look real smart. as for the lights you could technically fit any type of rear light with enough work, whether it would look any good though is another question.

'S'not my cup of cha, but well done for the committment.

Looks really stylish, but from the number of people on this forum whose minis have been rear-ended lately I'd be looking for a nice big red stop lamp in the back window as well. Those low-down rear lamps will be out of sight of many drivers.

Just a suggestion. The workmanship looks great.

Bottom of the doors look brill

love the frogeye bonnet and frenched in lights, side needs strip between back and front arches,looks great though.

Hi teapot there is a stop light in the rear window cant see it at the moment hidden by the new plates but its there as i thought it was a good idea to put one there aswell no excuse for people running up the rear
