again you need to work out what types they are, and what you have got. Anything is possible it's all down to how much effort your prepared to go to.

I don't think I would have a Kia, if you gave it too me I would rather have something worth owning. I think that's the point. Features where you want them, not where you don't. Power windows and Central locking are handy features However, all of this kits require modifications and skill. These are really simple modifications that could be done well, and provide a more modern driving experience. Me I don't mind "winding down for my AIR-CON" but other people like the mod con's. It's quite a simple DIY weekend for someone with a few tools, so well within reac of most miniers.

However, you have to work out if it's worth ayour time?

You'd be better off getting a rusted , cast off door from someone and experimenting with it rather than starting fresh onto your mini's doors , if it doesn't work and you stuff the door then it's only a scrap one , not your everyday drivers ....

I know Cush is a pain in the proverbial But ask a vaigue question don't expect a proper answer. I said get specific's do a little research maybe get out to brickworks to see other locking/winding mechanisms and see how theyve got around it. Maybe you could do a proper installation guide or at least look into the kit's on the market

Without fail someone asks this question every 6 months and then never does any follow up on it, just do a search on this site I am sure you will find something, but I am sure you will get a million posts that don't go into specific's about it.
