That does look nice. I do like a big numberplate on a Mini too.

I do like the Mk1 conversion looks and 10" wheels. Considered doing the rear lights too?

You can lose the fog light if you connect it to the offside reverse light (in the cluster, not the big spot light) and put a red bulb in there wink

It looks superb. Personal preference would be to lose the overriders on the bumpers, but that's just being picky!

I can't believe you can still get 10" tyres!

Are they off a golf buggy?
