Interesting. Regardless of what I may think personally about these one-off variants, I will hand it to this design firm. When they go for a design, they tend to carry it out all the way...exterior, interior, whatever. I do like that holistic, comprehensive approach. Of all the reinterpretations out there, these guys definitely get my attention (...although not necessarily my money:grin: ).

I kinda like the "Tender" MINI. :cool: Check out the de-badging and removal of bumper chrome strips on Cooper trim, both very do-able. The two-tone treatments are an interesting idea, too.

hmmm... I think we should take a Ferrari and put some fake wood on the side of it and add a tutone paint job and see how the Italians feel then.... " :lol: :lol:
