Hi,
I recommend you to use Bootstrap's LESS files you can download them from GitHub and use LESS for your own project, here's an older topic I replied not so long ago: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/twitter-bootstrap/EpNZEiefCwg, you can take some of my "ideas" from there. I'm using it that way in many different projects and everything goes faster and faster. For example I had to modify the grid width in a recent project which was translated from plain CSS to LESS, the project was started with a customized version of Bootstrap's CSS generated directly from their site with a grid with of 988px, a few days ago I've moved everything to LESS to make it much more maintainable. To make the grid 988px width I just had to re-declare the @gridColumnWidth to 64px in my own vars.less which is included after Bootstrap's vars.less so that variable overwrites the Bootstrap's one. As you'll see in the above topic, I use WinLess to compile all LESS files to CSS, you can use other LESS compilers if you want, but for me that worked and it still works like a charm. In time I became faster and I have a manageable UI frameworks with untouched Bootstrap files and access to all it's variables (for use or overwrites) at anytime. Hope it helps, Raul.
