That said, a question to Arrowface: do you want people to post photos of other people's Minis, or just their own? There are a handful of really famous Minis, including Msfitoy, Longboard's, OctaneGuy's, just to name a few. Are these to be posted?
And of course, the most modified Mini isn't necessarily the best looking--some cars are pure surface and no substance.

More or so just overall...your mini, my mini, etc =D Were all fans here right? I'm happy i found these forums to share some love for mini's!


These minis you guys are posting are amazing! I havnt seen nor thought there were enough parts that were developed to modify a mini! I'm digging the front lips on some of them..(for drifting downforce?)

One thing this thread has convinced me of... if my next MINI is an R56....

I MUST MUST MUST lower it.

So far, for me, here are the "best" lookers:

Dopamine
Msfitoy (even though Sid's being shy with the photos)
the Beast (always loved Monk's car and very unique)
Tuls (who couldn't envy such a beast?)
Coen's Cooper cabrio (very sweet indeed)
the black Lohen

The last 2 R50s just prove to me that the supercharger bonnet hump sucks aesthetically--why would they keep it on the R56 when it doesn't have to be there?

Msfitoy gets the prize for the most attention to detail Mini, and anyone who actually CUT into their cars (bonnet vents, brake ducts, rear diffusers, etc) gets maximum points, IMO.
Keep 'em coming.

Alpha, I didn't know you lowered your car on coilovers!! Is there a link that shows before and after pics of your car on springs and then on coilovers? That made a huge difference. Car looks incredible.

Well, I'm powered my Apple (it almost served a better purpose because I was going to incorporate my mac into the car, but those plans were dropped once I couldn't get a proper engine diagnostics program to work)
There are other stickers now, just haven't updated a shot (above the apple sticker is a whiteroofradio sticker I got at MTTS Miami and next the apple one is a MTTS one )

There are lots of great MINI's out there and it really depends on your taste. This thread is great cause it's giving me a one stop shopping place for the Alliance Magazine Featured MINI.

But I'm biased....

But which incarnation....









So many changes..so much fun..
