That's deadly my kinda sh!t!!! very creative yeah I made a kit for a mini from chopping a 95 escorts bumpers and restyling plastic drain pipes!! you dont have to spend big money on kits when theres stuff lying around chop shop style, I love a fat mini's bodykits look great! is that sub middle a free air sub or will it be enclosed? low and slow is the way to go :wink:

A simple sand blaster and some vinyl masks are all you need to frost perspex.
