ssssshhh....it's gotten a whole lot more refined...wait till you see...

BTW...what you saw was just the black trim replacement which will be refined...I'm now going after the "END GAME" kit design which will cover complete redesign of the bonnet/vents, front air dam + splitter, rear facia + diffusers/ground effects, fender swells way beyond just lips, companion skirts and radical wings...by the time this is shown to the investors, the design will already be in 3D and ready for tooling...

rear looks like this....on either the cooper or Cooper S bumper, they both have center exit exhaust.

The cooper version has a less agressive front lip....and with filled holes, i think its the best kit avaible besides the OEM ones.

Really interesting car enhancement.

filled holes and flat black paint...... you're talking about an OEM-looking widebody kit.

Only thing holding me back is importing it, and the cost of switching to center exhaust.

That’s my silver MCS on the VIS website just to start off. I can tell you that the stuff from VIS fits rather good. My MCS was rear ended last year, and when I went to replace my Orciari rear bumper I found that I could not replace just the bumper I would have to order a complete kit. $1300 I was not going to spend, so I started looking around and found that VIS had a look a like kit. I ordered the rear bumper and the fit was just as good as the original… In fact I would say that it’s actual better than the orginal because it’s thicker and can take more of an impact without cracking. Lastly I would have to disagree with those who say that the Orciari kit is ugly or doesn’t look good on the car, but that’s just my .02

My muffler is non-symmetrical.....so i would feel the need to get a new muffler as well....and then have someone fab it up etc.

That's good to hear....sometimes knock-offs just dont fit well....but sometimes its just a great deal waiting to be found. Glad to hear about your positive experience
