I am going to get a body kit for my min, but all i found is JCW and the AC. Anyone knows any other company makes kit for the r56?

i saw a post a wile ago about this guy perform services for mini owners to custom vinyl their front headlight rings, handles. etc. I forgot his name and his website.

lylesvinylstyles.com for the vinyl. I'm not aware of any aero kits offered for the R56 apart from the JCW, Hamann and AC Schnitzer.

My favorite kits are from :

AC Schnitzer
Hamann
Duell (Japan)
Garbino (Japan)

Others don't seem to look right.

My personal opinion is mix and match! Some kits have better side skirts and it will make it truly unique

my mini is pepper white. I am still deciding what to do. I am getting pkg II which includes HL ring, TL rings, Belt, front grille and Gas cap. I am also getting the handles and repeater from him.

I am doing pepper white for my HL ring, but should i do pepper white for the repeaters and TLs too?

i think you should do pepper white hl rings, tl rings, gas cap, and belt line, and for the door handles - satin black, and side markers - pepper white with satin black inlays if thats possible. that would look pretty sick.

the beltline in white would be pretty crazy - i have a DS/B r56 with a red beltline and it looks pretty crazy, i expect the white could look as good? who knows. think about it!

what color is your roof?
