Check this out http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mini-Morris-1200 ... 3efe4db6c7 Looks alright from some angles but weird from others (side on).
I thought it was interesting as I have had the thought in the past of removing the front and rear gutters to help the aerodynamics, just interesting to see it partly done.
What do yous think?

That is mini blasphemy.
The shape of a mini is un-aerodynamic, shaving off a seam won't help.
No wonder they want to sell it :cry:

ugh that is horrible.. why is the bidding so high? Is that because Cooper S's are now worth $45,000? (or $60,000 for a Rover Cooper!!!)

remove verticle seams = ok
remove roof seams != ok
