The duck tail spoiler on the white one is unusual. Not seen that on a Mini before.
Lots of K series swaps there too.

I quite like that the Mini scene still has plenty of people willing to do traditional wild and ugly builds. They're not my bag at all, but at least they've kept some unique-ness compared to the Ford scene.

I'm happy they are doing what they are doing, but equally that I am not. |

Given the amount of K-swapped minis out there I'm assuming there are a few "Lotus" powered ones?

The one with the red bonnet - that plate placement above the bumper at the bottom of the grille takes me back to when I was a kid in the late eighties and all the 17 year-olds did that to theirs. I thought it was 'a thing' but I've hardly seen it since. I like it for nostalgia's sake if nothing else!

There’s 2 quite recognisable ones in the scene at the moment but ironically I’m struggling to find photos of! I think one even went up the hill at RRG a couple of years ago. These are better though 😆   |

Probably because they already overheat like a b1tch with the side rad that you need as much air flow as possible without blocking it off |

Number plate on the grill is usually to try and stop the dizzy getting wet and it’s easily snapped off on low minis in the normal position. Annoyingly in that example it’s on an engine swapped car though haha. |

Finally found a photo of an engine swapped car that’s currently on the scene! Looks like a totally standard mk1 from the outside as well.  |
