And here are some photos! Follow me on Instagram for more updates @mantismini!

 

Nicely done ... very tasteful ... congrats!

 

If you deleted the rear seat, you have more flex in the body while cornering. Did you installed a brace?

 

Sir! Your Mini is awesome!

 

I'm part of that not-growing segment for sure. I purchased a Mini because it is small and quirky, and I purchased my Honda Pilot because it is big and reliable. Everyone has their reasons for what they would like to drive, and I can imagine a larger Mini being more comfortable and will likely change my mind some day as my kids legs get longer, though for me I like my Minis to be mini. (Whenever my kids see a 4 door Mini they call it a Biggie. No offense intended!)

 

Saw this on yt! With smoking tire! Shes a beauty!

 

Nice!
