Duraflex body kit.
I was looking at this Extreme Dimensions duraflex Body Kit and was wondering if any of you have experience with this kit.
I've seen one other mini with this kit loved the look and its definitely affordable (at just around 700 with shipping) compared to the other body kits.

I would not be doing the side skirts (those looked super riced out) just the the tail. The front does look a little over kill as well.
Edit: There is another site where you can buy single parts from the body kit, and the rear and front bumper are 200 each.

I don't really like the kit itself but I do like the vented look and how it makes the front look wider.
I have seen similar kits (on mini coopers, without that ricey look) that are way less cheesy and riced out but I cannot find them anywhere.
Any of you guys know the kits im talking about? One has a chrome mesh grill and the other bring the bumper out wider and about an inch closer to the ground.

I don't really like the ociari at all.
something about it... I don't know.
I AM a fan, of the factory aero kit though, I would really like to get that front bumper.

and

are two other kits that i think look better (less cheap) but still, factory aero above all.

I am considering doing something similar with my front bumper, but flat black.
I really might to it, that looks nice and aggressive.
I hope you don't try to find and kill me. ^-^

Lessons learned:
Plasti-dip would have been MUCH easier on the grill surrounds (usually chrome) than vinyl was. Also, because of the grooves the vinyl is cracking and I'll have to redo it. Which leads me to say that I'll be redoing mine in a flat black that will match the plastic trim and hood scoop (which has been plasti-dipped since my latest gallery pics, which are old).

[QUOTE=JohnnyVillan;3017769]If you wanna be closer to the ground, then lower the car, dont but lower bumpers and leave all the wheelgap.
Anyways, the only kits I'd rock are the Orciari and factory Aero kit (I'm currently running the Aero kit)

since then I did it all in plasti dip, and its great.
I am going to get my wheels powdercoated, so I will take off the front bumper and go to work on that.
and I will let you know how the plasti goes on my front bumper =]

In many cases, inexpensive aftermarket body kits require the expertise of a body shop to fit properly. "Tweaking", shaving, body filler, sometimes all required fitting to the existing body panels. Not a simple paint and bolt up like the stock Aero Kit. So keep that in mind with regards to what you pay for a kit. Added expenses can accumulate.
From what I have read so far, and from a few bits I have purchased, the Oricari kit is not in this catagory and is very well made.
In the end, it is personal preference and what makes each of us happy about our MINI's. Inpart, that which makes our cars unique by having the ability to taylor fit their appearance to our whims, needs and desires. That is the MINI Cooper heritage.
And having no two MINI exactly alike for me, is what makes these cars so interesting.
So if the kit you posted is what appeals to you, Motor On.

Just to clarify, you should not try to plasti-dip the actual bumper piece. Having those edges will cause the plasti-dip to peel easily. You will have to use vinyl to get flat parts of the bumper and around the lower grill. I can't wait to see how it looks on yours.
