Yeps its a gemini on the left.. Alot!! of work went into that Gemini, should be at the next summernats...
With the side indicators im filling them in... On the car and on the kit
And some kits do look bodge but if its done right then they look sweet as... There is a bit involved in fitting them though, in my opinion i would only fit a kit if i was going with a full respray, cos a bit of cutting and fidling is required.. I cut the front wheel arches larger so that the car matched the kit (also did it to fit the 13 x 7's without scrubbing) and cut the rear arches to match the kit as well, but then needed like a mini tub

i enjoy the look of a good body kit, i have one on my lancer, but i am not soo sure if they are practicle on a mini, IMO mini's hang fairly low anyway and look HOT standard, for a racing mini i would highly agree, but for a normal driving mini considerations such as gutter rash and steep decents, road shock might damadge it a bit too much...

would suspension on mini's be stiff enough to stop the kit from scrubbing out when the car hits a pot hole?

i must admit it looks alrite when nicly painted and done up

The kit does sit very low... The pic of the front shot of my van would look awsome at that height but its less than an inch off the ground so it would never make it anywhere.. So obviously its gotta be jacked up a bit
