	Nice, but why do people have to go and ruin their cars with m3 mirrors!? Bet it shifts though.

	i'm sure it goes well but IMHO it looks W@NK ! hate body kits, flip fronts, deseaming, etc on minis.

	No such beast as a sweet mini I've had it with mine. Bulkhead is rotting out from the inside and there are rust holes in the frigging roof. I'm scrapping the bloody thing

	Lose the mirrors, bodykit and put the seams and the bonnet back and it`s not too bad - although why spend all that money on tat and put standard Metro wheels on ?

	That would look so much better if it was but in a std looking Clubman rather than having all that other 'tat' on it - I'm sure the performance figures would improve as well. Yep, time for something better/bigger. That's exactly what I though this time last year!

	Cowards !! I found the perfect remedy to stop my Min breaking down - I`ve only done 800 miles since the last MoT Fingers crossed for this Saturday - replaced 2 ball joints and back brake shoes just in case !

Not a coward - I just didn't fancy doing 500 miles a week in my 1380. I shudder to think the amount of fuel it would have consumed; not only that, but the amount of brusies I would have recieved from having almost no suspension at all! Good luck for Saturday Gra..

	Did 25,000 miles a year in mine for 4 years, including a few months of London - Plymouth - London every weekend ..... then I started tinkering with it .. I think it`s earned it`s retirement now

	TBH, I could have driven mine 24/7 when it was a std Checkmate, but after I did the mods I made it a bit unusable for daily use - but then again I did build it for tyrack days!

	imo, put the standard bumpers and grille on, and mirrors and you got a nice looking car there, don't mind the arches or skirts, and don't mind the deseaming either

	Coward!!!!!!!!! pah! I'm a realist. When you find holes in the roof and the bulkhead is rotting out from the inside, it's time to quit

	Deseaming leads to all sorts of leakage problems!
