But surely that car isn't a mini. It's a Metro isn't it. Not quite the same are they?

If you've got a Clubbie, save weight, go retro- piss off all that padding, and underneath you'll find real Mini (roundnose style) dash rails- even has the chrome strip on the lower rail and the hole for the early ashtray.. 8) :lol: ...

Just put in some S gauges, and the cabin will lose that claustrophobic look/feel.. :wink:

i believe the dash is from an EK civic (1996-2000 model) to suit the VTEC engine in the mini, so all the gauges would read correctly....
