Out of curiosity is that car still on the stock suspension? It appears to be riding high.

In Germany we would not be able to drive either (wing/diffusor) because of the strict rules of the technical inspection authority (TÜV).

Very nice fotos/cars though!

I like the Nürburgring Nordschleife sticker especially - have you ever driver there?

Yes both Maxmini and I was in Germany last May for business, and part of the
trip was the "Ring" for some testing and fun....

Sweet. Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I do - my signature picture shows me and my MINI on the Nordschleife.

Guy’s guys...

Why worry about what could be, we already got the diffuser in pre-production, and this is a proper diffuser with the right inclination
and length.

The few (hundreds) that saw the M7 Diffuser was more than impressed with the build quality and overall structural integrity..And that was the prototype.

And to make it even sweeter we will have a version for both the R53 and the R56... To be fair the R53 version necessitates a
battery tray delete and a new straight through exhaust. On the R56 all you need is the Aero rear bumper or the ***** to cut in to the standard bumper skin.

We have also started the pre-production phase of a challenge wing and we will offer it in yummy CF or Aluminum if lightness is secondary to stellar looks.

The diffusers will go on sale in 2 weeks complete with hardware and fasteners. We will offer it in black fiberglass and a carbon fiber version.

I will have pricing shortly and I think most of you will be pleasantly
surprised.

Here are some images for your perusal.


Side view (plenty of road clearance and my car is super low)


Under car image (note how long the diffuser is)

We know you(m7) make a diffuser, but I(we) want an update on THIS wing...I do not really want either diffuser personally...I am going to make my diffuser on my own...There are just too many things I would do differently than both of you guys...

Hey let's not 'shoo' Peter out of this thread, you never know it could be basically the same wing but at a considerably lower price. Peter when can we expect to see some pics of your wing?

I'm very busy during the days giving me little to no time following any
specific forum thread..

As I said, before I got shoooo out of here..

Everything is in either mold making stage or pre-production stages.
I can promisse that the wait will be worth it, both on the tunnels and wing.
(and the price will be right).

I hope you are joking...I meant no offense with my statement, just curious to see what is going on with dirhong...it seems he disappeared

I know we have had our arguments in the past...but I am interested in your product...I have never been against you...just had a sour tasted for a bit...hopefully there is no bad blood left though

I have talked to Randy a lot in the past you can ask him if you would like...
I think m7 and any vendor on here other than PU is truely trying to do their best and bring great products to the Mini Community...It all depends on what you want
