It actually makes your MCS look large.

Both cars are great- maybe decorate the classic Mini to look similar to the newer Big MINI.
Stripes and checkerboard roof, carbon fiber hood scoop!

Nice contrast of old and new.

The MCS does look huge. It's really an optical illusion- the classic is really small- but fun.

By the time everything was said and done it cost me $ 4500.00. I am going to have the roof checkered and stripes put on. I am also going to have the windows tinted a little. That thing is like an oven in the sun. It is so funny to see the peoples faces when they see me driving on the right side.lol

Very cool. I've been looking at maybe picking up a classic Mini also. How much trouble was it to get into the US and registered?

They look great together! Can't wait to see the pix after you stripe and checker her up! And $4500 seems like a very reasonable price! Congrats!!!

SUPRCHRGDMINI,

You have some of the sickest wheels on your MINI, I just thought I loved the Tantrums and then I got to your pics with the Imagine, and I was like falling in the floor. This is one of the best looking MINI's I've seen on this board. Aero Kit, Wheels, Checkered Roof, Tint, OMG, it is SICK! This would be my exact choice If I got a MINI of my very own!

A++

Cabbage

***Disclaimer*** Not to say I haven't seen some other VERY NICE MINI's on this board, this just happens to be one of my favorites. Personal opinion I guess.
