so ya... sick.
I thought you might like to see the results of our most recent project. This car is the first of our M7 Carrozzeria line of Mini Coopers in which we work together with a customer and turn his ideas into a complete vehicle. This particular car was taken from a local dealer as a brand new black S and turned into what was seen at the dragon in just under 3 weeks . Do to the upcoming Dragon event and the owner's desire to be there it was a VERY tight schedule and we were happy to be able to pull it off. The car was then transported to Atlanta where the new owner , Don Cooper flew in to see his car for the first time and then attend the Dragon event. The car had under 400 miles on it when it reached the dragon and so far all is well. The next group of mods will be Sams side panels , our new CF/ leather wrapped wheel and assorted other items. these pictures do not do the car justice as in the direct sunlight it positively glowed. This is a color Mini should have had all along.

And why the hell hasn't this car had an AWD/RWD conversion done to it yet? Seriously, if the Mini was RWD, there would be one sitting in my garage as we speak.

RWD mini = :drool:

Regardless, that is one hot Mini...

well given its a new one and only had 400 miles on i think it has the lsd.... unless i missed the part where it said it didnt... but havig a rwd mini would be against all of what is mini... dont forget that the mini is the pioneer of transverse mounted motors/trannys.

Sweet car (except for the wing). Unless the owner really wanted a towel rack. Which I do see it being used as. I guess it is somewhat functional then...

The LSD is a $500 option on new Minis. I assume they opt. for it though.
