Well maybe not at your dealer, but I decided to create a beast of a mini in photoshop (bit of free time today) and I was so pleased with the results I thought I would share them with everyone, along with before and after animated gifs there is a download for desktop size versions. Enjoy.

very nice work.

i am sure people will come and say 20s on a mini are wrong and blah blah

i dont like 20s myself, but a +3 wheel sizing is not really extreme at all :smile:

Cool side flames - if you ever wanted those made up send me the eps file and we ccould do it. You are on your own for the 20's.

Interesting...
I like the flames!
I see I'm not the only one who's thought about this..
Here's one I did a few months back, "Cooper GT":

when I was working on it and started to chop the top and adding the monster rims I thought about the exact same thing. Does this mean I like SUV's? Well I do have to say the FX45 is interesting to look at, but it's safe to say that I won't be trading my mini in any time soon. -Calvin, glad you liked the flames, there's a good chance that matt over at cooper flags is going to do them for me along with the bonnet flames we had discussed in a previous thread, I'll be sure to let everyone know how they turn out.

I like the flames, but the giant wheels aren't for me, and IMO don't look good on any MINI.

MINI's shouldn't be trashed like that. That's what Hondas and Toyotas are for.
