MINI standard Aero Kit CF parts - check it out

Found this CF replacement for the stock aero kit (I already have the JCW aero kit, otherwise I may be all over this).

No news. They have the kit on display at a big car show, but no word of a release.

sorry to sound like an idiot, ..what's "MU"?

Whats a link to the web site?
umm, it's a Japanese site that is dedicated to MINI's that I found some time ago. It's a sweet site w/ lot's of cool (and sometimes weird) products. Yet I don't know the link to who sells that?? ...maybe the "MU" that Rally@StanceDesign suggested knows more about this?

Motoring|Underground. It's another MINI forum with a focus on modifying and styling. I was just teasing sketch and Vic.

3-D designs produces that lip kit.

oh of course, "motoring underground" ...yep, been there.

I am on a quest to get some CF JCW side scuttles. I found them on a UK site (cant' remember the name offhand) ...yet there are pricey at around $280 w/ ridiculous 14% tax and high overseas shipping charges. ...maybe if my stocks start doing better i can justify it?

Hey Rally, just checked out your site ...nice stuff man. Love the "I -hate- Chrome" sticker + the new Blue Mini on black T design. ...ever think about getting some kids shirts? I've been looking for a couple mini shirts for my 2 sons. I think a cute mini car w/ the word "MINI" would be cute for 'lil ones. -I have a 1 year old that it would look great on! anyway, i am sure you get all kinds of people giving you ideas. Nice stuff though.

But we don't pay their tax do we? I don't think I did when I ordered euro arches.

I have put some thought into it. It hasn't been ruled out, but I'm worried about overall demand. Kids stuff would be really fun to design.

Thanks for the compliments

Hey Rally,
any chance of offering that blue mini at night t-shirt in other car colors? ...i'd love to order it w/ a dark silver mini and maybe blue lights/streaks in the background for some contrast...guess that would be a medium gray color for the car. ...anyway, if you do let me know i'll place an order.

Problem is the stock Aero Kit for the 56 is diff bumpers and the grille trim has a different radius at the bottoms (yeah you could try trimming)...not even sure if the mounting points match a regular one (including the JCW)

see here:

thanks!

this is what you want?
it's a JCW style black grill surround and grill insert for the stock / factory Aero kit.

negative. thanks for checkin though. You can see the bottom piece is more squared off.... They are definately refering to the JCW Aero Kit (because they mention it comes black stock)

so i am confused this piece they sell is for the JCW aero kit? why would you want to replace your stock JCW aero kit grill surround w/ this after market grill surround that looks near identical?

sorry, ...this seems a little mis-represented on their site?

You have to find a company willing to import them through japan. As mentioned, it's made by 3D designs in Japan.
