Hi guys. I'm looking for some pics of a debumpered roundy to show the wife, so she has an idea of what mine will look like if I go that way.
Thanks
Andy

It's removing the bumpers and de-seaming that really gives it a different look, in my opinion.

I'm also thinking of de-seaming as well. Anyone got some advice on how to go about it and whats involved, pros and cons?

lots of cutting and lots of welding, i cant advise you on what to do as ive never done it, but i can say a con is that it looks crappy, in my opinion but each to their own, i think the seams give the mini something that you loose when removing the seams (other than rust under the covers, you werent thinking or removing the roof seam aswell were you? :(

Do a search on here as there have been a lot of good posts about it . It's not something to take lightly and will need engineering afterwards as you are seriously changing the structural integrity of the car .

Yeah, I agree that you lose something of the original, but your not restoring it when you do that, your customizing, but I think debumpering and deseaming together is a bit too much. It just depends on what you want. One or the other and it looks ok, but again it depends on what your looking for. And no I wont be touching the roof seam.
