Duell AG

Surely you've heard of this Japanese company, check out this blog. The English seems like its from an internet translator because its extremely broken and doesn't make much sense. These parts are sick though....

Duell MINIs may be a bit too aggressive for some, but they make my favorite kit, besides OEM

Front bumper will run you $1200 bucks, if you can find someone to import it.

I believe AC has those bmw/mini badges and there's a good chance Lyle & some of the other vinyl vendors can hook you up as well.
The Duell front bumper looks a lot better without those little lights they had in the early shots.

Yep.

For an R56, that car is pure sex.

Are there controls to leap through time in the interior LOL!

There is just something about painted arches that make these cars that much more sexy... wish they had done that (or at least offered it as an option) from the factory.

They definitely look good on a good amount of Minis. I'm sure a lot of people in the states would love a kit like this. I know I'm not willing to shell out over two grand for a JCW body kit that i'm not crazy about. Right now they are a bit ugly in my eyes.

Agree with rear bumper, the sharp curves feel out of place. Everything else is quite nice. Indeed.

Nobody seems to notice that the Duell front end is a direct copy from the venerable Porsche (997) 911 GT3 RS and the rear reminds me heavily of the new E92 M3 Coupe. Ingenious it is but not nice if you park it next to one of the originals

BTW, a company called Prodrive from Thailand (not the UK based engineering centre) is selling those bodykits if you're still after those...

Yeah but you did neither object nor complain about this fact!

We had an ad in one of our local online car auction sites. A Peugeot owner had spent his much valued time to put a MkI JCW Aero bodykit in FRP onto his car. It was horrible for us, R53 owners

Just my two cents...

Oh it's noticed alright - I have an image of a 997 GT3 RS as my screensaver at work
