I have to say, I've seen this car in person and it's probably the best done body kit I've seen. The pictures don't do it justice. Those wheels are aren't too shabby either.

Great looking car.

Niiiiiiiiice Frank....

I like what you've done here! I really love how the Mini lends itself to all kinds of individual tastes and can go from mild to wild.

I'm still waiting to get mine out of the shop, next week he says (but they guy is been saying that for the last 2 months.... ). And it will be right up there with yours... Oh Yeah!
