classic mini front end. bini xenon headlight conversion.

i recon it will be more aerodynamic and slightly mad looking.

the cogs inside are in motion!!!!!!!!

balls to the blower!!!

i think it would look funny.

Minis are so box like the the agle of the bini headlight wouldny look right. There are other conversions that would look good.

Something that would involve cuttin the bonnet pehaps, maybe focus or 106/306 etc etc

have a play around on photoshop.

up to you at the end of the day, its your car, make sure you could live with it before you do it though....
its your car, do with it as you please.

im blatently frowned upon by the retro retro mini owners (or concours) for my grille, tints, sound system, seats, etc etc. but end of the day its not their car, its mine, as long as i keep it road legal other people shouldnt have a go :)

Fab's right of course.

Maybe you should take your styling ideas off the French instead!

nah Elfs are species not a sex male and female elfs are the same, but you can normally tell the diff between a male elf and female even before you see them.. you just got to listen for the bells on the shoes or lack of them...... bells mean "beware am a bloke" no bells equals fair game.............................right im off to the center of life to buy one.............
