can anyone tell me where to start and what to do for roof-chopping a mini (lower it by 2 inch or so) you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

If you do a roof chop, don't extend the roof, it looks totally shite. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Rammie, There has been a chopped mini body for sale on Marktplaats (Dutch ebay variant). Looked like a proper job and was not expensive either. Can't find it now, but would save a mini and save you a lot of work. If I see it popping up I will let you know. Han you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

I saw a photo of a mini a while ago that had a body chop, but not a roof chop. Looked pretty smart. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:
