i was at the mall and came across this cooper s in the parking lot. it had this body kit on it that looks really good. it was still in primer but still looks great.i had no choice but to take pictures of it with my camera phone. if anyone knows what this kit is called and where i can get it let me know.

 

Own creation I guess . . .

 

to each his own i guess.....

but imho i would have to say ewww..wtf is that?

 

I don't like it either, but this one is . . . I don't have words for it . . .

They call it the Animal kit . . .

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H!!!
My eyes! My eyes!

Where's that sharp stick?

 

Obviously, these were graduates in the lower third of their class.

That car is just plain obnoxious.

 

Hey, I didn't know they made a xB MINI?

Scary !!

 

Maybe it's finalphaze's kit. Either way I don't like it, to each their own.

 

tina02miniS,

Aloha and welcome to NAM. Thanks for your spy photos.

The kit looks home made. The side skirts are not better than what we already have from other kits. Looks more flat with two rear slots.
The rear bumper is really just an Stock MC part with a huge rectangle cut out of the center and expanding sideways- looks ugly and not in sync with the rest of the kit. Where does the backup light (not legal to get rid of it) go on that rear bumper? The only half good part is the front bumper with an aggressive center lower area. The wheel arches are stock so it more or less is similar to the MINI aero kit but not as well designed or integrated front to back.

The animal kit is just awful. A "slammed" animal.

 

Hey, who said you could take pix of my car!?!??! LOL

 

Don't think either of those look too good, actually I think they are horrible.

 

One thing that you could have done was, if you had some paper and a pen, wrote down your question and how to contact you and left it on the owners' windshield. And maybe invited him/her to join NAM too.
Cheerio,

 

the kit is still in developement... thanks for the honesty... no hard feelings... the truth helps a lot... but like i said.. the kit is still in developement.... if it works then it works but if it dont then i guess i got myself a one off kit.... maybe when the car is done completely then it may change the eyes perspective but as for right now it still in the works...

 

its just too bad that im like the only one that likes this kit as is, maybe hes targeting the younger of the cooper owners like myself. maybe its the import look hes going for. i like it though......

 

I wouldn't say it's all that bad. But not the best I've seen though. The front has a bit of a subtle attitude. Not too agressive and ugly like other abominations I've seen. The sides are subtle as well. But I think the back could use a little something more. The middle is left too open. Needs to be brought down or have something added, IMO. Everyone has their own tastes though.
Cheers,

 

the rear is suppose to give you that touring feeling... like a defuser and also to show off the exhaust... but at the same time with a touch of chrome... like a mean luxury car....

 

use your imagination while the car is being completed. paint dual square tip exhaust on both sides, tinted windows, 20in rims on 30 series tires and a bunch of chrome..... imagin it to get the full feel of the kit in luxury

 

Can't wait to see the final results! Best of luck....

 

im with everyone that it is not the best looking kit out there... but it aint the worst... just eclipsed by some of the better designed ones

the rear end piece could defenitely use some work... the front end's squares also i don't think goes too well with the round headlights...

i think the side skirts look ok, if those vents are for brake cooling then i think there will be people who will buy it!

 

- Agreed.

I have some ideas/suggestions that could make your (FinalPhaze) kit look better overall (using your basic design). But it's your design, if you want any ideas/suggestions post here or PM me...No expert but i know when a car doesn't have a body kit that flows with the curves of the car...:smile:

 

why doesnt anyone like the kit.... importy? rice rocket....

 

:smile: Hi, Tina! Welcome to NAM! Yes...I think a lot of us will see this kit as ricey. But we await his final design, before making an absolute comment! LOL!

the kit just does not flow with the coopers lines. its like a after thought. you can just step back and know it it not correct for the car. to look really good, you need to have people ask you if the car comes that way. and we all can see that the car doesn't. also runing around in primer is a sure tip off to a guy that has a car full of carp and no money to finish it.
