I personally wouldn't buy that, but I think it looks very cool. In the very least, I can appreciate the intricacy of the design and the time spent on it.

That reminds me of the time my brother painted his Toyota rock crawler red and put a decal on the windshield, in that exact font, that said 'Toyzilla'.

But in fairness to him, he was drunk and hated it afterwards.

Regarding the Mini.

I like the proportions, I even like the Checker front end. The interior, side vents and tail lights is where it all went wrong. A pity, all that work to be spoiled by the last cosmetic details. I'd like to see it as a V6 RWD conversion with that wide stance on the back end.

Don't see a huge problem with the kit. Sure there are a couple of non-functioning vents but it all looks like it's been well made and not just there to put extra curves and angles with no concern given to the final look. Looks like a touring car type kit.
