Hey! I think I bought that belt they're using to hold down the bonnet...

Sorry. Never been a fan of using items of clothing on cars.

I go right past their shop on the train on my way to and from work and have been seeing the Lambo paint through the door and windows periodically for a good few months now. Wouldn't mind being taken for a spin it!

Some bits ar really good...

...always liked the idea of doing carbon exterior bits and they've done quite a few...

...always "dreamed" of a Dark Silver S with carbon bonnet painted to leave carbon stripes, carbon roof, carbon boot (painted) Carbon spoiler, carbon wing mirrors and carbon panels behind the front wheels. Now added carbon doors painted in same style as that

Well if i win the lottery...

Not my cup of tea........sounds good but looks horrible.

"The BMW Cooper S GP....... I mean really, what's the point ?"

The point is I'd rather buy a Mini built by Germans finest than by three blokes in a shed.

I like it.

Three blokes in a shed? If you look at automotive history some of the finest cars in the world have been built by 3 blokes or even fewer in a 'shed'.

I doubt the guy that assembles the GP at position 29 on the production line screwing the filler cap (I have no Idea if thats position 29 on the production line!) on gives a S*** about the end product!! I bet the guys at Play MINI have spent hours and hours and hours thinking about that and taking time in the production of it. I know for one how much thought has gone into our project car and its a serious amount of effort.

It should be about initiative - yes for me the styling is a little lairy - well the kit is not bad, the paint is OTT - but its about the tweeks - the bits they've changed for a reason that make it stand out.

Good job Play MINI.

I think it looks horrible, but I couldn't (from my quick look) see "the vital statistics" (performance figures) on the site. But then site was all wonky on my browser so they could just be not showing or off screen somewhere?
