Disappointment

So I have been planing for awhile on what I wanted to get for my mini. I finally saved up enough money to buy the one spoiler I really wanted and have wanted for a long time, the m7 m-wing. I called M7 only to find out that they do not sell the M-wing anymore.... as a matter of fact no one sells it anyone more... I figured coming back to this site for advice would be a good idea in hopes someone will help me with my problem in finding a spoiler that is similar and currently being sold or if there is anyway to actually get a used m7 m-wing from somewhere?

Seeing that it is about 500 + or - You could lower your mini or get an intake system, wrap a few items in cf vinyl, the possibilities are pretty good to find a set of wheels for that price


Im guessing you have a first gen so the parts are cheaper as well pullies,exhausts etc.

You could light that puppy up.
1 cathode in each wiper vent
2 cathodes in scoop
1 9.5" flexible LED strip in each footwell
1 38" flex LED strip in the weather stripping by the hatch

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion. Clearly, I like the lights. Knight Rider has a scanning red grill Btw.

Anyways,
There are plenty of personalization ideas on this forum: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...n-show-em.html
ImagoX and Gumby Lara were my inspirations for the lighting.


Also I have yet to get underglow, but its on the list.
