Does anyone have some good pictures of the GP's underpanels?

Perfecto, thanks!
Do happen to know if they would work on a MCS (non aero), or are they designed exclusively for the GP side skirts?

 

16" discs for brakes! . Where on earth did they get that from, the GP doesn't have discs anywhere close to 16". I don't think an M3 has 16" disc's... .

 

Front rotors 11.5748031496188 x 0.8661417322844001 to be exact for the . MINI didn't state the rotor size in the UK GP equivalent publication.

Just below the description of the brakes in the US publication there is an asterisk and the statement "figures not confirmed at time of going to press"

 

Well i'm aware they weren't confirmed, but you'd think that car engineers would have some clue as to how big the brakes would be. I mean, a Porsche 911 Turbo has 14.9" discs (380 mm). Did they really think the GP was going to have disc's 1.1" larger? .

 

Why haven't any vendors decided to mass produce these underbody kits yet? They'd sell like hotcakes.

 

Why? Just find R56 Euro ones. Let me know if you can find the difference (but the price).

 

Hope this helps.

 

I know that IT people, with their/your inherent awkward social skills, have probably never had a conversation with people in marketing. They are not from this planet and the rules of logic do not apply. Talk to someone in engineering for the real deal.

 

My social skills are far from awkward . I happen to do quite a bit of work in marketing, you know, designing webpages for prospective businesses and all?

I'm also a photographer, which as you may or may not know involves some degree of social interaction.

Regardless of my career, what does that have to do with creating a flyer that indicates brake rotor size larger than the wheels on the base MINI? Off the top of my head I couldn't name a car with rotors 16 inches in diameter... a Buggati Veyron has 15.01 inch rotors (381 mm). Is there a car out there that needs more braking power than that?

Logic aside, the flyer is just plain retarded.

 

Do you have a source for them? I'm not sure the R56 panels would even fit without significant modification .
