Interior/Exterior My MGP CALIPER COVERS
Geesh guys lay off the man. 
I think they add some style to the car, but I'd be a bit disappointed if I saw these driving by and then later found out they weren't a Brembo BBK.
Do they make them in black though? I might look into them just to make my ugly silver calipers disappear more.
Seems like that's all he was trying to do too. Unless I misread something.

In any case, my point is same. The MINI is full of form over function compromises and people who drive them shouldn't be such pursuits when it comes to modifications "for looks."

Actually the brake ducts on the JCW aero kit do function & the whole aero kit was designed by MINI to be aero efficient at speed.

Most production cars have compromises to functional design, especially at anything close to this price point. You are living in a fantasy world if you think different.
You are a boatload of fail today.

Yah...the 16" r90's were one piece. Doesn't mean the 17's weren't :P
As for your caliper covers, I think they look alright and that's clearly all they are for.

Nope. I think people in glass houses shouldn't, well, you know...
