:: Jon :: · Mar 2nd, 2007, 11:02 PM

it reminds me of another Dark Silver S around these parts

Restyle · Mar 2nd, 2007, 11:16 PM

Its not that bad & I`ve seen a lot worse examples.
Remove all the stickers (& perhaps some of the red bits) & you`ve got a pretty well sorted car maintained by an ex BMW technician.

what in the world was the guy who built that thing thinking?

*EDIT* ok maybe its not THAT bad, ill second the fact that when the stickers are removed...the tacky red bumpers etc etc, you would have a pretty good looking Mini

Hartge210 · Mar 2nd, 2007, 11:24 PM

7 bids with highest bid of £1.24

Wasn't there a BRIGHT orange Mini on there a while back, fully 'pimped' with a central driving position, complete with gearstick in between the drivers legs

I'll have to search around, it was

David King · Mar 2nd, 2007, 11:30 PM

Those mudflaps are exactly what you need when driving around.................Cardiff!! UUhhhhuummm

Not a bad price for an S though, even when it looks like that!!

jamski · Mar 2nd, 2007, 11:37 PM

remove the mud flaps, put the exhaust right, and change the bling wheels and it's an ok car. don't mind the 'rally' look tbh.

MJS · Mar 3rd, 2007, 12:03 AM

speaks volumes about the sponsor

Paul · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:48 AM

Surely this being a "demo"/display car it's supposed to be a big garish. Most of it is just stuck on stuff though, not like it's been repainted or anthing. Seen much, much worse.

MINI Animal Kit <--- That's one of the all time "greats".

bugiz · Mar 3rd, 2007, 08:31 AM

Yuck!!

That's just wrong!

Smurfn · Mar 3rd, 2007, 10:10 AM

There have definitely been more that have been a lot tackier

South Shore Lad · Mar 3rd, 2007, 10:52 AM

Not really to my taste, but I don't think it's that bad at all. Pretty good for a demo car in fact!
It's not as if it's like those cars you see on barryboys.co.uk with ridiculously over sized, ill-fitting body kits and sewage pipe exhausts!

Looks like it's been well sorted by a proper tech. Reckon I could live with it once de-stickered etc.

I think Tony is secretly looking to buy another MINI and trying to put off fellow bidders!!!

Josh27 · Mar 3rd, 2007, 11:32 AM

That looks shocking!

Trainman · Mar 3rd, 2007, 12:38 PM

Its not hyper blue underneath is it?

TallAndy · Mar 3rd, 2007, 12:45 PM

Another autofashion special... How to ruin a mini!

The Peanut · Mar 3rd, 2007, 01:24 PM

Now that is bad

The first one was a bit of a GP wannabee but like others have said ,I've seen much worse.

yuck, and the music on the website as well is just so tacky

Trotti · Mar 3rd, 2007, 01:57 PM

I'm suprised I hav'nt seen it around Cardiff as it sticks out like a sore thumb. An hour or so with a hair drier and those stickers would soon be off.
