Whatever. . . I'd be impressed if there were LCD's mounted in the LCD's.

I call BS. You can't even shut the hood.....not to mention you couldn't drive it because the heat from the engine would probably ruin the LCD's.

My guess is that those are all removable panels that are put on temporarily with the bonnet already opened.

But somewhere out there someone is really happy with their MINI, so good for them.

From the grille badge, this might be the new JCW craptastic audio upgrade.

the fluffy clouds are a nice touch.

That is dedication, though. . .

I think Yucca's got it right, big removable (hideous) panels. But, to each
there own, just cuz I don't like it doesn't mean someone else can't...

Can you imagine the rattles that second one has?! The panels will
probably eventually rattle themselves right off the car! (Just kidding)

Um... cute... or something...

Not my type of mods, but it's their $$ and if it makes them happy, what the heck.

Can't help but think of what those same $$ could have done if they had been invested in mods that improved driving performance.

These falls under the....

I kinda like the custom draped seats on the yellow car. Looks like the car is wearing a designer gown.

Gowns.

Whatever.

I've actually seen the EB MINI @ a show. But it didn't have that much done to it under the bonnet at the time. And the back of the MINI is pretty nice.

I must be an old fart, because stuff like that just baffles me.

At the end of the day, what's the point?
