Im just watching season 1 of Pimp my Ride on DVD and was thinking how cool it would be to get a mini and PIMP IT ... maybe a group thing we could all do together then sell it ... what do people reckon?

If Brad (13Sec) got hold of it, it would be over before the rest of the committee could be formed. :lol:

hehe yeh dosnt take long to get a mini looking good, but to do it properlly like a did my personal car it takes months. If your not going bare metal and dont need a show car paint job it is pretty easy to rub back existing paint, fix any rust, dings etc and put a new coat on it.

Now where to find 15inch cromies to pimp a mini :D

not at this stage....it barely fits in the starlet...... :)

and it would have serious traction problems in a mini.....would be fun though....

waiting for someone to put one in a roundnose.....so i can see if it's feasible for when the 1310 gives up the ghost.

Easy you say? hmmm, maybe I should have a go, there are quite a few little blemished on my clubby that I'd like to be removed, hmmm...

As for pimping a Mini, there is a Clubby for sale near me with Harlequin paint (purple/green/gold) which suprisingly doesn't look absolutely shithouse... all it needs is the blingin rims and it'll scream "PIMP".
