clock kits

can you put body kits on them or do they look gay on a classic mini

i wont to get a classic mini and do it up and make it look go

and see if i could get it on max power (i would love to do that get my car on max power but that a dream i got dont know if it could appen but i could try)

put a good body kit on it if it look ok

do the engine up put some new things on it like air filler things like that

put a good grapics on it

put nice alloys wheels on there

nice back lights and front lights

a good sound system it in like sub amps speakers (do u think that all would fit in the boot of a classic mini)

put new seats good cd player a couple of speakers in the front new stearing wheels new clock dials

could u tell me if it a good idea 2 do or not

where i can get parts can u tell me where i get a part booklet

how much do u think it would cost

it would be done it diffrent stages because of money

do u think it could get on max power if it did do u think it would be good

DONT DO IT!! The max power phase will only be temporary there really isnt a need to fit a bodykit and go wild. A classic mini is not really a car to have aftermarket bodykits on and one is likely to devalue the car as there are not enough minis left.

Personally i suggest you go and buy yourself a copy of mini magazine and look at the variety of the cars in there from very original looking to ones with motobike engines and not a lot else!

A good modified car isnt just about slapping as many parts that werent meant for the car on it and calling it custom, some of the best modified cars i have seen have had no bodykits on them at all. Pay more attention to the standard of the parts you are putting on ie quality over quantity.

Sticking with minis a wide arch rally spec kit is available to make the car look like the old monte carlo rally editions as are numerous other arch kits, these are cool as the arches are wide enough to get some 8x13 alloys on. alloys on minis are best off small and wide for looks and handling.

i dont think there is much space to put more than 1 sub and a amp in the back of a mini but to be fair a pair of 6inch components in the front and rear and a 10inch sub will be spot on. . . especially if in a well made box.

Remember adding loads of stereo equipment will add weight to the car which is NOT a good thing when you only have a 998cc or 1.3 engine.

myself id rather go down the route of having a pretty much factory outside with just chrome bumpers and detailing with black plastic wide arches, have the car lowered plenty on small deep rims , interior would be 2 bucket seats, retrim the back seat area and mechanically id rather spend more money on a decent engine than unnecessary amounts of glass fibre bodykits. Ideally something like a 1.4 BVH engine or if i was feeling very creative i have seen all sorts of engines from Astra GSI 2.0 16v engines to honda civic type R to motobike engines all sorts can be done depending how good you are with the spanners.

At the end of the day its your car and you can do what you want with it if your idea of modified involves big bodykits then Zeemax do a variety..

look on

It'd cost you A LOT of money!!! Question is why do you want to make a classic mini look like something else? Other mods will make it look good but leave the body kit alone.

Also it's better to save up till you can afford to do at least half the work otherwise it'll end up like so many other peoples projects that never get finished.

this one cost 5k and it's just got a standard reconditioned 998cc engine
