Just wondering if anyone has fitted one of thses to a mini, do you think it'd look stupid... or awesome! Seen some on ebay for around $250 they seem to go for a lot of moola!

If it did I'd buy two!

Its basically an old air conditioning system thats big on the hot rod and VW scene!

There like a compartment for some water or something and a sort of blanket thats also wet with water. Then u have a switch on the inside where it sits on the window and it opens a vent for air to go through the front air tunnel and because the blanket is wet or water... cool air breezes in... OLD SKOOL!

and that's worth £125 is it? =]

I think PC Plod could have something to say about restricted vision if you stuck one of those on your door.

Ah yeah... Or maybe on a rear window and up higher? On top of a old skool roof rack!?

You're right they are quite popular in the vw scene, never understood it myself. You could try and do a cal look mini and add one, although I think a mini would look too small with one!

If that was left on the side of a vehicle during a hot day, surely the water would heat up and the effect would be lost?

I retract my earlier comment. That looks PHAT.

Insert sarcasm here.
