R50/53 Project Miniac

That is a VIS bumper. Was the only one could find that would work with the light mod. It's been all guess work so far but i seems to all be falling into place.

VIS show off shots.. .
Warning to any1 who buys aftermarket hoods:
Originally I had purchased this VIS hood for the CF effect, lightness & cost factor. Now into this i'm finding out the Mini hoods are very complex. There are many curves & attachment points to be mated. It may be a less $500 bucks but the install will cost that in labor alone. There are return policies on most products & in this case only 10days. CF products MUST be carefully checked & installed after recieving. If you are a perfectionist I definately would not suggest this route.

Under the hood the glass work is very revealing. Most will just leave it alone but I will most likely make light weight panel/s up to hide it.

Will attach more shots later.

Need new front seats. Direction?? ?
Looking into set fronts seats with air bag & heat. Need them comfortable in long drives but with some extra support in cornering & adding the harness.
Really like looks of JCW Sport Alcantara's.

Ok how did you do the headlight??? I'm planning/researching how I want to do mine, but haven't figured out how to get them lighted like that.
That blue with orange will look awesome in real life... post more pics of that mod please!!!

... I like where they are and how they look. Are you going to finish covering them off?
