here s something different .Im thinking of getting LSD lambo doors for my mini. What do you guys think? Its a little pricey its around 2k for the LSD kit (best kit around) and a lot of labor$$$$$.. But it will sure look good..

 

i wonder if i should cut out my earlier reply on ur for sale thread and post it here

 

go for it joker

it must be my PC cuz its never happened on the MAC

 

on the set ur lookin' at !!
install will be jus about the same$$

 

Sell at least 8 of your cars, and buy a real Lambo!
In my humble opinion.

 

...please no

 

Do it! Don't worry 'bout the naysayers. A few will say it's 'rice'. So what? If you like it go for it. I'd love to have the guts to do it to my convert. I think'd be fun.

I did see one kit that allows you to open the door normally OR swing up. So you can just use them normally most of the time and swing em up when ya want.

Also note some kits open only 45 -50 degrees, and others over 90...

 

but whatever floats your boat! After all, it's your car.

I looked into this. The amount of modification needed to do this right on a MINI is extensive. Also its not reversable (if that matters to you). So if you're up for it then its a sick look

 

these are much needed features
btw, the set/kit hamann is l00kin' at has these k00l features

 

oooooo post pics when you do it!!!

 

Just curious, when's the appropriate time to "swing em up"? When you've been having a great day and won't mind all the pointing and laughing?

Do what you want, but you're telling me that of ALL the things in the world you could buy for a couple thousand dollars, this is the one that will bring you the most happiness? Really?... That's extremely hard to imagine.

 

Really? funny but i dont need to sell any to buy one nor it would cost 8 of my cars

 

I agree...


hey joker, the "O"on a keyboard is right between the "P" and the "I"... not between the "9" and the "-"... just so you know...

 

Do it! And post pictures afterwards. I think swing up doors are really cool

 

When you feel like it, for fun. Keep in mind that things YOU like or value are likely a point of ridicule for someone else too. Chill man, variety is what makes the world go round. 60's muscle, lowriders, hot rods, rat rods, 'rice', vintage sports, steam, old trucks, whatever. Look around and appreciate the diversity. If no one did something to their car for fear of another disliking it we'd all be driving around in Blue Chevy Caviliers... or whatever...

Did anyone say that? I've spent a few K on after market and doors haven't been it. Wheels, tires, CAI, pulley, Wet Okoles, Sportlink... So no, it's not the one thing that will bring me the most happiness, but I support anyone who wants to do their own thing. Life with a row of stock MINI's is boring. Life with a row of MINI's with only mods YOU, or I approve of would be equally so. I'd rather see a row of modded cars where I dislike 1/3 of them than a row of identical cars. But I promise I don't have a attitude where I'd laugh and point.

I might point out that some folks might ask why you'd spend 20-30 K on that 'little dinky' car, when you coulda gotten a kia or whatever for 1/3 the price. They might even point and laugh at you.

Heck, I 've spent a couple thousand on a BICYCLE. More than once. I know people who are shocked at that idea. They might even point and laugh when I'm not looking. And I know cyclists who love it and want to ride em, or have a similar collection.
==============================

Some George Harrison lyrics to ponder...

Someone's driving a 450
And his friends are so wild
They're still in their stick shifties
But they feel they have much more style
But I've found...

It's all up to what you value
Down to where you are
It all swings on the pain you've gone through
Getting where you are

It's all up to what you value
In your motor car
It all rests on what it's cost you
Getting where you are
It's what you value

Someone's driving a 6-wheeler <--ref to the Tyrell 6 wheeled F1 car
Seems the world is all blurred
Knows he's in a show stealer
With a sound that's uncompared
And I've found

It's all up to what you value
Down to where you are
It all swings on the pain you're gone through
Getting where you are

It's all up to what you value
In your motor car
It all rests on what it cost's you
Getting where you are
It's what you value.

Now maybe a fun thread would be "Of ALL the things in the world you could buy for a couple thousand dollars, what is the one that will bring you the most happiness?"

 

...please yes! It doesn't sound like money is a concern, so go for it. But be careful, different is bad here on NAM.

 

You know im sick and tired of people talking sh*t and hating on you because you have a bunch of nice cars, and im sick of them talling you are rice because you have 19's. Man dont listen or worry about what people say, if you like it, go for it. Her are some pics of a cooper with 19's and lambo doors... I think it looks nice, and so would your car

That's what owning a MINI is all about, individual expression.
