I can't see the pics, but is this the one with the 20xe on TBs poking though the bonnet? If it is I saw it at VW Players, awesome car.

Carbon overload! Looks so cool though

Any pics of it with the bonnet closed? I'm interested to see how it fits around the cam cover.

With all that work that he's put into it surely it would have made sence to make it mid-engined?

Cool car though. Engine thru the bonnet looks wank though.

Guilty. However, I don't think it's perfect.

Great looking car, just looks unfinished to me

i think that looks stunning, personally love the bonnet, dont believe it will be a car driven in the rain or poor weather so looks funky.

Still no need for the bonnet though. Could have putter a smaller turbo'd lump in there that actually fits!

Just seems a bit daft to put an engine in there that dosent even fit under the bonnet.

i think you underestimate the fact its an xe, dougie works for vauxhall, and its a very easy way to 200bhp, not as easy with a f/1 a series

Why didn't he extend the front like 9/10 people do with XEs in minis? Or a clubman front end?
