Well that's in the runner-up position to this monstrosity:

Which still stands astride the world of 'how to ruin the looks of a Golf2 at a stoke' like a towering colossus.

Note that it appears that someone was so offended at the sight of that they actually set light to it.

Ripspeed actually used to do some alright stuff till halfords got their mitts on it. The Ripspeed adjustable cones for classic minis were the ones used in motorsport IIRC.
