El Camino style Cooper needs to happen

This guy needs to make a kit for the Cooper. The clubman could even work better.

I know they made them as red bull promo r50s, but seems like this guy could make doing the conversion pretty simple.

I'd rather see somebody do a deal like they did on this Subaru Vivio racecar style,
just cut off the entire top box!

Seen a bunch on ebay in the red bull version and then they just take the old can off and put a cap on the back. Most are R50 and R56 Coopers in the USA. I seen some weird R52 models done like that.
