The Mini should be set on natural protection,
its horrible what some guy do with this car !

I actually quite like the look of the panel van, is there any chance that you could do it with black front pillars?

Then try doing it with black as the panel colour???

minikid · Apr 5th, 2002, 05:39 AM

It could be done with any color I suppose...with the black it wouldnt be as strong of a contrast of course.

lightbody · Apr 5th, 2002, 05:39 AM

The pillars really don't work...its completely against the whole design of the new mini (roof "floating" on black windows). but the panel van idea works much better - like Monsta says - show us it without the front pillars!

Dom · Apr 5th, 2002, 05:46 AM

I think it looks a little odd from the back (this could be because the back window has a black border) but it works from the front. As monsta said, try a black panel, or perhaps you could make the black border at the back yellow. Not sure how this would look though.

Good luck!

Ok if you need an excuse to use a MINI for work (but only really becomes a van if side windows are replaced with panels and not just covered with a stickers) but otherwise my question is WHY?? I think doing such a thing to a MINI for looks seems a backward step as I think it makes it look worse. OK it looks different!! to offer some constructive criticism I would agree with others that the front pillars need to remain black and a possible border to cover the black border on the rear screen may help (also I would think the effect of the 'van look' would be greatly improved by having the car all one colour.)

It needs those dodgy seat covers

spanky2k · Apr 5th, 2002, 07:31 AM

That would look much better if the front pillars were black, the rear window were yellow, the rear seats were taken out and a flat floor was made. Then it would be pretty good I think, although aren't MINI bringing one of those out anyway!

Keep up the good innovative work minikid!
