I love the subtlety of the modifications, so understated, lol :D

Poor MINI :(
I shudder every time I see this, and Its not the first time Ive seen it either. I saw this Mini two years ago at a MaxPower show at north wield but back then it was silver. I never have liked the choice of bodykit, just doesnt look right. This person is very brave to change the interior around like that.

I wonder if it glows in the dark? :p

I'm now just waiting for someone to come and say 'now now leave him alone, if he likes it then thats all that matters'.

:indi:
No bids yet, I wonder why...... :rolleyes:

My exact sentiments spoony, it looks hideous....... :(

Kodak: "...Now now, leave him alone, if he likes it then thats all that matters..."


:D

Haha

Seriously, though, leave him alone, if he likes it then thats all that matters. Unfortunately, he is now selling it so it matters whether other people (or at least one other person with money) like it.

I really didn't get the reason why he would move half of the things needed to drive to the centre (wheel...etc) BUT leave the others (pedals, gearstick...etc) where they were. Result: Someone needs to complete the job, or change it back (will require money, so they will knock it off the asking price)

Also, hopefully all of you that think the central speedo is hard to see [no sat nav] or that the steering wheel hides the speedo [with nav] will have some sympathy for the prospective owner of this car....
Imagine looking into the passenger footwell to see your speed :p :p . What do you do if you see a speed camera ?

Oh well...

PS. One of the questions and answers put to the prospective seller:

"...
Questions from other buyers for this listing
Q: Is changing gear not awkward with the gearstick between your legs as you drive? Answered on 25-Jan-05
A: no, there is plenty of clearence, once you get used to it its great, being able to change gear with both hands is ace, the stick has being shortened to provide more clearence, i actually find it harder to drive a normal car these days, its some thing i will really miss about the car

I'm hoping this is a joke cause that is one god awful car.:(

Is it me or is the gearstick in between your legs? :confused:
Why would anyone do that to a Mini???
Closed this thread, as it's the 3rd or 4th on the same subject. Search for Orange MINI or Orange eBay and you should find the others if you want to discuss it.
