yeah - I don't honestly understand the globs of weld on the ends. The weld you can see wasn't even attached to the car - but there were five spot-welds aswell... Very strange.

First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

i hope you have considered how removing these plates will weaken the whole structure of the mini's moncoque bodyshell.

if i were you id also give some thought as to whether removing any weight from the car will actually make any noticable difference at all to the performance figures.

And of course removing such a structual component from a critical place is just down right stupid, very dangerous to other innocent road users, and puts your life at risk if you ever get rammed up the rear by a big american man in his SUV.

This modification really makes me question your intelligence
