You guys should have your own TV show.... Pimp My Mini

What a lucky sister you have!!

Great read, cant believe I have missed this until now.

Unfortunately I don't have anything to contribute, all my parts are the standard ones I have removed.

sav112 · Apr 28th, 2008, 01:05 PM

Must say agree it’s a load of work put in and just shows how a car can change….only thing and its my taste so don’t worry but I find the pirate things near the side indicators shocking looking after the car was looking so clean.

I was like – yeah great wee mod on the indicators, nice new roof, like the indicator grills than I thought Oh dear lord what have you done……

minicabrio · Apr 28th, 2008, 01:07 PM

Decals are a personal thing, won't be to everyones taste, but it's nice to be able to put your own creativity on the car

sav112 · Apr 28th, 2008, 01:14 PM

Totally agree I like some decals and others not to sure about. That wee Puzzle car Super’s got I really like.

It’s a bit like the interiors, seen a fantastic silver Mini D Black roof, Caps 18” wheels looked absolutely stunning best Mini I’ve seen to date and the shocking thing was the inside was done in red…..I thought it must have taken hours to get the look outside just right when it was ordered and about five minutes doing the inside. Red up the seats and on the Dash…..

I like this thread, it really shows what you can do with a bog standard cooper on a budget. I havent seen it in the thread, but are you keeping a running total? and will you disclose this

I would have gone with an aero kit personally, but i wouldnt have thought you would get S skirts and a JCW exhaust

Keep it up guys. good work.

When your on a budget and only have a week or so you have to get what you can

I would have loved to get an aero kit on her

Somthing to consider for next weeks project

I'm very lucky to have a brother who is obsessed with mini's - I was quite happy with the way Bessie looked before, she just needed a bit of TLC. But Lee and Jon convinced me that she could look better (on a small budget), so I have left her in their capable hands and so far she's looking good.
Now I just need to persuade them to let me have her back! I'm hoping that I can have her at the weekend - i haven't even had the pleasure of driving her yet

nylo · Apr 29th, 2008, 03:14 PM

Monkster, I think you've landed on your feet - keep the boys quiet AND a sorted MINI at the other end? Brilliant!

Just make sure you know where the keys are

Lovely looking MINI - hope you'll be on lots of runs (and that I get to see it in the flesh!) Enjoy! x

poppet · Apr 29th, 2008, 09:18 PM

Yeah she is lucky

Here's what Bessie got today....

supa-dupa-cooper · Apr 29th, 2008, 09:19 PM

mister.t · Apr 29th, 2008, 09:21 PM

A good looking head unit can make a dash look sooooo much better

supa-dupa-cooper · Apr 29th, 2008, 09:22 PM

Did you put the stripes on yet Lee?
