There is a lot to that. Are you looking for form over function?

Devin, totally agree with the above question. What are you planning on doing with your MINI? Track, street, autoX, looks......etc. MINIs can be many things, one of the very cool things about our cars!

Im looking to have a quick street car, grippy, and holds close to the road, maybe a bit of track and autoX but nothing built specifficlly for those, definitely a car that looks great and is really fun to drive!

Two ways I have tried...

The more subtle look of the AC Snitzer unit.



Or the more aggressive/functional Sneed4Speed unit. Prices are comparable and the S4S unit has a lifetime warranty.

Here is the RDX one installed. Looks.... disappointing. Those side fang things don't seem to fit well at all. And the color looks really off- you'd want to get the thing painted, I'd think.

I went with the All Fit Mid Lip.....love the look and it made of heavy duty rubber, so it is somewhat flexible.

I agree, those side wing things dont work with the shape of the bumper.

Sneed for speeds looks really agressive I like that a lot.

I have the Sneed4Speed splitter, which is a bit of a chore to install, but can be secured to structural components that gives it some extra strength. However, over 125-130 mph, it will definitely need stanchions. Ask me how I know!

One could always use garage door bottom lip, by Home Depot

AC Schnitzer splitter with APR splitter rods. If you plan on driving fast you'll want support rods. My first splitter flew off my car at speed and took all the plastic screw mounts with it. With the rods on it doesn't move at all.
