I like the shape but the colours are terrible. Did they pick them at random or was that what was laying around?

Hmmm. There's a few details I don't like (chop is too low, wheels) but some I do (rear arch covers, grills).
If I did a custom Minor then I'd chop it by less, and have the entire thing black. To quote a famous two-headed guy: "When you press the black button labelled in black on a black background, a little light lights up black to tell you you've done it."

I was having a discussion with some mates about rear arch covers just the other day!
I dont think the 4 door shape really suits itself to this kind of modding though...
What would Macgyver do..?

Lol i guess you have to acquire a taste for American hot rodding. In my opinion the moon discs look awesome and the chop isnt enough!

Still think there could have been more chop
but I don't like the paint and hate the arch covers - not keen on the grilles either, Still, each to their own...

The paint is horrible-flat black with flames would have been more suiting. Furthermore if your going to take the time to chop the top then you have to drop it in the weeds. It looks like the proportions of a monster truck
