    That's why we have new MINI's... to mod. Classics should be left alone. I see it once in awhile with the Triumphs, they were primitive cars by today's standards let's leave then that way and enjoy them for what they are! ...... Just sayin

    I'm not sure what's stranger; the custom cigarette lighter mounting, or the PS1. Both fall into the "why bother" category for me.

    At least the listing mentions that you can take the wing off. For what that's worth. Still a shame though.

    Atleast most of it "could" be put back to original at some point...

    With that big A$$ rear spoiler it probably does power wheelies at speed!!!

    The PS1 makes me think it was a late 90's project when smoking was still cool and 3doors down was a hot new band! OR they couldnt fit an xbox and decided what the hell...why not...

    Why on Earth install a gaming system when THAT'S WHAT DRIVING THE CAR IS FOR!?!? That is a poor, abused, little guy. Too bad it's so bloody expensive otherwise I'd bring it home and fix it the right way.

    It does have a filter. It will keep small birds & large rocks out. Pea gravel is going to meet Mr Impeller though. :eek6:
