OK looks like a winner- let us know how much for the parts and shipping.
Any US distributor?

I like the bonnet stripes. I wonder how they would look on a regular S without the stripes extending to the grill as the picture depicts.

Agreed, I do not like the stripes going through the wheels.

Does anyone have any info on those wheels?
I love them - similar to the 18 inchers that come on an M3
.
Would love a set!

Wow, that's a gorgeous looking MINI. Love the aero kit and stripes...not down to the grill though.

That front spoiler is smart!

I agree, it will look different without the stripes runnin' through the grille & I'd also like to see it without.

The rear is still "trying hard," but sugar,- nonetheless.

A fine evolution from the first offerings of aero-kits...

Besides having it as a full aerokit, selling parts like just the front or the back would add flexibility to how we might mold the look of our MINIs. Then we can borrow, mix and match to create the look we like best.

It's hard to see all of the detail when the pictures are changing. Look at the matching design of the front and rear bumpers-it goes lower than stock and has a curve in the middle bottom! Also note the rear has a lowered valance and middle oval slit for the tailpipes! What about custom openings?

It seem like the openning for the tailpipe is unique to certain exhausts. I wonder what they can do for the Magnaflow trumphet pipes?

I am excited about the more aggresive stance, and the fact that there is finally a different aero kit out there. I have been waiting for something a little different.
But I have my doubts that we will be able to get it here in the US.
I have not received an email back from them yet.
I am dying to know!

I don't know about size of the body kit, but i brought a set of rear light from them and still waiting for it. the shipping is gonna take 10-12 day to arrive LA according to them. so i assume shipping is not a issue!

Too bad this kit is only for the S. For those frustrated with the photos changing here:





I wonder if they would just sell the front of the kit so I could put this on my Cooper. I don't like the kit they have for the standard Cooper, here's the pics for the Cooper version of the above kit:




This kit (the Cooper version) just looks like painted calipers and side skirts to me.

Based on previous posts from CTD, they do ship to the US. Hopefully this aero kit won't be any different. It looks super schweet!
