Wow. Not for me at all, but certainly different and each to their own.

I saw a few photos of this one during the build. The arches are nicely done and suit the car, Cobra like. The MINI headlamps don't look right IMO

I almost posted this when I saw it to see what people thought. And it seems I'm not the only one who thinks it's not looking great! I bet it drives well but many cars do, a chims original style is subtle with a slight muscle car look but this IMO has ruined the look. And the price?? It's a 94 with nearly 80,000 miles which is a lot (Not for age or engines capabilities) but when compared to what is on the market. £22500 would get you a really nice original 500 still these days even a mk3 450 with half the no. of miles (This example has 28,000 and is up for £22995 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2016... but is nice and original.
Something to remember if you are someone who likes to modify your car. That's your choice and each to their own, however you will not get that value back when you come to sell, if you put tasteful or even necessary upgraded parts on your car it will help you sell it, it'll help you enjoy it and maintain it etc, it again will not allow you to recoup the full costs of these upgrades.

If the chrome ring could be deleted and covering cowl fitted I'd quite like the Mini lights.
