I think they they suit the car, afetr all it's not a car that shys away in the corner.

My personal preferance, I wouldn't fit them.

I guess if you're aking the question then you don't like them. If this is true, sell it to someone who does (plenty of them) and get one you like.

It suprising how many new little "tricks" keep appearing on a mini, when you think you've seen them all something new comes along! :)

Im going to be putting same vents onto mine, mines painted toyota supra red so it will need respraying anyway, how much are you looking for it? Need other parts respraying on my car too so ill work out which would be the cheapest option. What colour is the bottom? Any "spanner" dents in the seams along the sides at the bottom? Cheers
