    Can I make some suggestions for some serious and slightly funny upgrades to add on at a later date (If you have time)?

    ERA kit and turbo swap, or MG Metro turbo swap.
    Twin Cam head swap from BMW K series.
    If you are doing a later facelift you could mix it up with some inspiration from the prototype DX OHC engine from the 9X prototype and the 1275cc Inline 6 engine that they built and tested.
    Covet engine options (like an IRL B, D, H or K series swap).
    Z car motorbike engines.
    We need a Twini obviously.
    The Twini needs a rear subframe so it makes sense to do Z car mid mounted motorbike engine swaps too.
    Rear engine V8, FWD touring car. Yes, it's real, look up the BRT Cooper-Buick Mini. This would probably need it's own monocoque though, so not an easy job to model.

    I'm not suggesting you do all of them, and obviously you have no obligation to do any of them, but the Mini has a rich history for you to pluck some fun ideas from.

    I could do the later facelift one, but the only problem is that I would have to redo the entire front (excluding the bumper) but I will reconsider that, maybe as an addon, maybe Mark II?.
    I could do the Twini and the BRT Cooper-Buick Mini, but probably wont add the monocoques and instead add a rollcage since I have no hecking idea how to make a monocoque,
    and obviously i'll do the Mr. Bean config, the Monte Carlo config, and the Italian Job config, only problem is that what should we name these things.

    Sorry, by monocoque I meant body. I meant that you might have to make a modified body to fit the rear engine and rear subframes.

    For the Italian Job config, how about 'The Turin Task' or something similar?

    maybe add like prototype version's like one using the mirimar engine and use it as lore that Ibishu stole the scrapped designs for the 4 cylinder to use in the mirimar.
