Mini Roadster

Has anyone seen a company doing roadster conversion on the convert.?

i.e. chopped windshield glass, tonneau covers to give the appearance of a 2 seater? I guess this might be a more custom undertaking.

Thanks

Definitely a custom job. Another $3000+
Better to start with a Cabrio MINI than a hardtop though.
I thought I read that in the future MINI was going to come out with a two seater cabrio? Not sure how long we'd have to wait but might be something to look for rather than modify and existing one.

If you lowered the windshield then that would affect the soft top.

They did a MINI cooper-



I think I like the MINI cabrio better.

I was very interested in how the boston acoustic demo mini had a chopped windshield. I would love to see a concept that had no functioning top (Just a Sunday, No Rain Day Driver) and was a 2 seater,
