That is an odd iteration - but because of the color. It appears to be Electric Blue, but it's a Cooper. Hmmm...

It could be silver but look blue due to reflection or bad light???????
Have they chopped the back bumper away because it looks like we can see more of the rear right hand wheel than we should be able to?? Why has someone done this?

I guess most of these people don't watch the show Monster Garage. It's hosted by Jesse James (famed Harley guy, owner of West Coast Choppers, I think???) they basically have 6 days to make a monster car out of a normal car. Last nights episode for example saw a Yellow school bus become a pontoon boat (BADASS!). Other episodes have included a new Bug being turned into a swamp racer. a Chevy Impala into a Zamboni....you get the Idea...anyways, they normally also customize the cars by putting wheels and a slick paint job on it...
