I do not like the tail lights, it totally kills the Euro image of the Mini and transforms it to a Japanese (too many sensitive people) car, however nowadays, I am seriously considering the wing options.

So did we decide where the wing comes from?


The wing looks great...you can keep the tail lights, though.

tail lamps

d' spoiler i would say looks ricey...but tail lights dont fit into a japanese category, but thats only my opinion.
as far as d' slur ('***') i would have 2 agree w/kenchan.......not a good way 2 express yourself.

So those taillights make it a Japanese-like car yet the big ol' ugly as all heck wing doesn't?

I'd beg to differ.

Saw a post here somwhere... I think the company is out of Japan...Costs an arm and a leg to buy it from them. Someone else made a home-made version that looked pretty good as well.....

For the record, j a p was just added to the filter. Japan, Japaneses, jpn will all still display correctly.

We've been down this road before a few times on this forum. The term does carry with it offensive connotations whether or not that was the intent of the person using it. As such, it is an issue of showing respect and consideration for other forum members, and thus the reason it has been included in the filter.
