I was wondering how long it would take for someone to come up with this sort of bonnet...considering the mini, of all cars, could benefit immensely from some heat dispersion...

dunno about making it look like a mitsu though....

AndrewH · May 24th, 2005, 05:55 AM

Pity the grills don't match

Todd! · May 24th, 2005, 05:57 AM

The orange looks phat... Not sure about the hood.

Nice shots though AC... you havent seen any Mini's buzzing around the 'Ring recently have you??

ScottyB · May 24th, 2005, 06:06 AM

ummmm..... nooooo....

Mildy partial to the BRG tho

Tit · May 24th, 2005, 06:09 AM

the bottom grille is most likely in the 'too hard' basket...as it's quite an effort to put the other grilles in...

Ann's cars are like that too...I have her a bit of a tease about it a while ago...

IIts possibe to do, but, if the kits been done by the dealer, the only way to remove he aero grill (without damaging the bumper), is to remove the front bumper.

Looks 'orrible to me, but each to their own!

Smurfn · May 24th, 2005, 12:03 PM

Not my style, but I have different tastes

Spotty Dog · May 24th, 2005, 12:49 PM

Obviously years ahead of it's time (as it looks like something the Mk1 Nova drivers would be crying out for today!!)

I can't take any credit for the pics of the hoods, but I do have hundreds (literally) of pics of Mini's on the Ring that I still need to post. I took tons of them at the German Mini Challenge race when I went to the Nürburgring 24h race a couple weekends ago. I just haven't had time to get to them and post them yet.
