This could be good. Looks like those japanese are getting into the MINI. There's the japanese exhaust thread, and theres this: (Anyone read japanese?) Sorry Randy, if it turns out they don't do anything but styling. I cant tell, and I'm more interested in this forum anyways

Dunno if NKB makes the second two as well, but those wheels might be a nice alternative to Hamanns, except the site says they only come in 16"s...

I have started to like the look of the "flat face" wheels actually. For some reason the deep dish wheels remind me of the early eighties 930 Fuchs and such with 11" rears that looked wild at the time, but now remind me of darker days in the world of automobiles. That said, those first wheels do look neat - I wonder if they rub when you drive the car?

In case no one noticed, the bottom two are pictures of a colour coded xenon bodykit, which is found on the famous "woody" MINI. I personally think it looks much better without the wood.

Yeah...I am going to have sort of "disagree" with you there (Office Space). It is not the Xenon kit. The Xenon kit has different sideskirts, it might be the front bumper though, not to sure.

Ya, i noticed the side skirts too, but chalked that up to a blurry photo, or possibly a prototype kit. Whatever it is , it looks pretty good.
