what interesting body mods have you seem on a mini (pics welcome and preffered)

for instance different door handles and locking gear
different doot locks
different boot hinges.. ect ?

lambo doors would be SICK, also going deseamed is pretty cool.

yeah i forgot about lambo doors... i happen to have a pic too...

The front bar on that body kit looks terrible! It sticks out way too far.

yeah i just threw up in my mouth a little.

i dont mind it actually but only because they changed the grill panel too.. its the 1 reason i dont like the zeemax body kit.. its too big...at the front IMO anyway

I prefer the solid boot lid as against the floppy zeemack one in the photo.

De-seamed, but not de-guttered is good. Your Mini already has internal door hinges, although I've seen in the UK, many people like to go retro and MK1 up a Rover, and put exteral hinges etc.

But I'd say that's not what you want to do.

Those Lambo doors look interesting, but a little over the top really.

IMO for your car. De-bumper (is that illegal?), de-seamed (twin fuel tanks or at least twin fillers as it looks symmetrical), all panel joins up front to be smoothed over - but leaving the guttering on. Basically going for a smooth look with ultra gloss and smooth back paint. As for archs, probably big and wide, sportspack, although maybe a little predictable, but still good.

The doors on my van have been converted to internal hinges and I have a flush fuel filler to smooth the whole thing out

Debumpering can look cool and is very easy and internal hinges on the boot lid. Have you thought about a rear window wiper, using mini parts it's easy done.
Because someone is going to say it "a deseamed mini will be VERY HARD to get legally registered" Also bonding the flairs in looks good.
Theirs hundreds of body mods that can be done it all depends on how far and what you want to do. If you have a collection of 'mini world' mags go through that for some interesting features.
I have one mod in mind but that's a secret

I'm pretty sure de-bumpering is legeal so long as you remove the lip that the bumpers attach to. (chect with your states transport depo) as a matter of fact check with them befour you do any body mods

im liking that flush petrol filler .. these arnt necessarily something for my car.. but just things to keep an open mind on.. i dont intend to debumper my car.. or put on a zemax kit..

as for the rear window wiper.. some later models i beleive had it done... but at a closer look.. the wiper motor gets in the way abit.. and i wouldnt find it useful enough i dont think... but hingless boot is something id be looking into personally...

My Mini was de-bumpered when I bought it, so I rebumpered it. As it wasn't deseamed so I thought it would a bit weird. But getting the bumper to sit level again was hard in it's own right....

Moral - Don't buy a Mini before you know what you are buying as you might (and probably will) buy something dodgy.
