No disrespect to those that have one or like it but I just can't get into that look. Perhaps if I had an autocross car, I could deal with it but am I the only one that thinks it makes the mini look "ricey"?

LOL, I guess so.... I guess in my mind, I've always separated minis from honda civics and the like but those wings just remind me of ironing board, shopping kart wings on hondas.

Like I said, no offense to those that do, I just don't get it.

I think its one of those things that looks really cool...but...I would never put it on my car, but it is also true it looks like you could do some ironing on it!

I agree 100% that this look is only for a few but it is what we were asked to build. The design closly follows the Mini Challenge wing in all aspects.

I love the way it looks. It's not for everyone, if everyone loved it and had one, I probably wouldn't want it anymore. :0)
