Every other car I've seen that supercharger scoop on, I disliked it.

...Still do. It's like a nose, or something.

Interesting wheels, but a bit over the top for me. The mirrors look hard to see through, but that's a different look - did you modify a set of classic mirrors for this application?

Nicely done. It is not my own taste, but that is what makes owning a Mini so great! As long as you get to enjoy your work that is all that matters. Have fun with it and be safe.
Great job!

Hey, I'm a nose guy... I like noses

did you modify a set of classic mirrors for this application?
These are custom made to fit the MINI... no modifications needed. They come with wide view, light sensitive, mirrors. The visual is the same to me, I just got to get rid of those bulky things to the sides

Great job!
Not allot of people like the FBT wing too, but I like it . It's a thing that you have to go through to reach the ultimate setup... believe me, I know... and that's what makes each car different

The scoop looks like you stuffed a sock down your bonnet or sumtin.

I personally love the scoop and think that it looks amazing combined with the Orciari scoops.

Ca$per, Nice set of pictures (great aspect and capture). Love the fast looking MINI, not sure of the bulge unless it is functional for go fast parts.

How did you hang the driving lights, look interesting down low and centered.

Those pictures look amazing ! Some things I love, some things not so much but that's whats cool about customizing, We each get to do our own thing. One thing that doesn't seem fitting for such a beautiful car is your licence plate. I guess the driving lights make it imposible to mount from the tow hook. Maybe go side ways with the tow hook mount. That might look very cool. Anyway, great looking car !

I don't feel like relocating it.. the cops are pretty stiff about that... I would rather just scrap the whole thing it will look ugly weather it's left, middle or right.
