I appreciate the workmanship that has gone into it, but I can't help thinking a Traveller or Countryman looks nicer. :oops:

Yes, I saw the site before I commented.

I do love the enine, the colour scheme and the interior! I simply don't think the double-doors on the back suit a Mini sedan. It makes the ass look fat or something. I dunno, it just bugs me! I prefer the look of more traditional Radford-style hatchback conversions.

At the end of the day it's just my opinion. :)

I agree Brett, it looks sort of odd around the rear windows, maybe they should have rounded the inner corners off or something. They've done a tremendous job on the interior though, grafting in the Traveller rear seat etc. With a prettier hatchback it would be the way the factory should have made them, I reckon.

I think it looks GREAT, that is alot of work. Looks like alot of strength has been taken out. Wouldnt want to take a t-bone hit to the back.....

That's a wonderful job. The doors have been sculpted perfectly. No visible hinges, perfect continuation of the window line. VERY NICE!

Oh... and a great shop/business they have going there. Wish there was something like this in Oz.
