The car does not look good, the oil cooler + lines you put on look terrible (the lines are way too long and sloppy looking)...Get your self a honda or toyota and do stuff like this.

THUMBS DOWN

This car is currently my favorite non-traditionally modded Mini right now.
The oil cooler, bolt on flares, angled-up exhaust, and anime graphics are a nod to Shakotan style and Bosozoku style. This doesn't mean that it is a style exclusively for Japanese market cars. Many US and German cars receive the same treatment. The oil cooler lines are supposed to be draped like that.

I respect the amount of work put in to the car and think it turned out stellar. Not everyone builds their Mini to drive around cones in empty parking lots on a Saturday....

MINI's are supposed to be about personal expression... I can appreciate anything from Bozoku, to donk if done right and with a strong personal influence.

This car has got that going on, and I dig it!
Then again, I am also going WAY out of most peoples comfort zone with my build.
