Right I'm new on here, so heres my ride, this is how I bought her 20months ago for £1600, in near mint condition, except the spot of rust on the wing and under the headlamp,   then over the last 20months she has been through many diffrent stages, honda vfr800 motorbike cans,  sportspack arches and motorbike mirrors in baby blue and custom bonnet and 6x12 superlights,  then changed back to original bonnet and painted the arches black. then this is what she looked like at the end of last year,     she is goin through a full interior rebuild at the moment, and a few exterior changes. hope you all like her, I havent really done any modifying of the engine as I don't see any point yet, as I'm still young-ish, lol. But when the time comes I will have a 1.6 vtec engine going in. |

Fab. Digging the 'flames  Personally, I'd like to see all 'sportspack' arches go up in flames as I think their are gash. Not keen on those mirrors either... some chrome bullets would look much better against that super chrome trim. Oh and turn those headlamp covers through 90 degrees  But all that aside, good effort. Gets the stamp of approval. 10/10 (welcome btw!!) |

welcome, sweet mini!
as said above, if it were mine id bin the clear rear lenses, mirrors and tribal tat. Some headlight grills would work well, and bullet mirrors as already said.
ive not got a problem with those arches, i think they have their place

an unusual combination of quality retro mods (I like sportspack arches!), alongside some textbook barrying to even up the score, my favourite being the bonnet secured to the grille slat, but you have wisely done away with that.

well after the winter, the sh*t road conditiond had taken its toll on my car, I had a few bubling patches on the wing and rear valance, and a few scratches here and there, so took her for a full respray, it only cost me £260 including the airbrushing,    the surfboard is my friends, but I reckon it looks awesome on the roof, lol!!!!!!!! |

colour coded arches with the flames continued on to them, torpedo mirrors, alfa romeo pearl on the flames and over the black roof, colour coded alloys, new headlight covers, and I'm currently working on a fiberglass install with 3 12" inphase subs, goin in place of the back seats.

Don`t like Posepack arches and you`ll get strung up on some forums for modding a 35, also as Mr B says a few Barry touches but overall not bad for a young un and at least it`s another Mini still on the road |

its pretty cool mate, same point with the modding a 35, youve probably lost money on it but so what uve done what u wanna do thats fine with me.
I'm not a sportspack arch fan, they're too common and they're are loads of nicer arches out there. like group 2 extra wdies for example

It's been said before, not a huge fan of pose pack arches.
Paint looks sweet, and a frigging bargain for £260

Sorry to say but hating the lights. It looks like stewie doing his evil stare:  The mirrors are borderline as well. Apart from that it's pretty cool. Liking the airbrushing a lot. |

Nice one! got to say the light covers don't offend me at all.
Not sure about the extremely large ironing board shaped roof spoiler though ;D
