I was just sussin out some zeemax body kits for one of me roundies, and a thought occured to me. How come I never see body kits on clubbies?
Do people just not like them?
Do they look crap to every one?
Do they smell funny? :lol:
C'mon clubby owners, whats your reasoning?
Or are they just perfection on their own? :wink:

In the UK, clubbies are fairly rare, and its dificult to justify production for small numbers.
zeemax do make them however - and they look sweet 8)

personally I think they look a little fussy on Australian cars - i think the 1/4 windows and hinges mess with the clean lines....Just me

They do look sweet, that I cant deny jbeenz, but why is there such a lack of clubbys with kits on them out there?
Is it just a price issue maybe?

It is the same level as the floor and the middle section will screw into the floor, but yes big gap when looking from the front and back wheel arches.

This is why I want to paint the body before securing the kit.

Ive got this body kit thing on my mind now! :roll:
Who has the oldest body kit on ausmini?
eg. Did soeone here put a kit on their mini back in 1978, and its still on there?
Pictures would be awesome aswell!

The only thing the clubby needs is flares and a chin spoiler..

smaller flares would be preferred....

Anymore than that and you may aswell buy a 6r4 :)
