Well, if that styling was reduced by half... It would be easier on the eyes...

The Wide rear end is Neccessary for it being Rear Wheel Drive...

On Our Coopers, FWD, it is pointless. People will buy it to throw 9-11" wheels on it... but it will still be a fwd... with heavy *** wheels!

If the Current styling would incorporate the moulding flares as a one piece fender/bonnet .. I'd be interested. Until then, this is why people paint the flares... it just looks good and MINIUSA spends less $ on production. Squeezing out Plastic mouldings is a money saving feature and cheap to replace.

so if it's based on the qvick mini body kit, you could feasibly move the intercooler to the front and get a bigger intercooler if you have an S. it should also free up more space for a turbo... since the front end is longer. thats wicked ill. who makes it, and who sells it?

I dunno if it is longer... Qvick has a M3 engine in there.... so there was a lot of "carving" .
