This regards the new Mini Mania extra wide body kit. I don't know, it looks kind of funky to me.



If you guys can see, they have some pretty wide tires under that thing. Opinions???

I think it might look better if it didn't have that white trim around it. I am not sure though. It isn't ugly, but it isn't gorgeous. Its...

ouch, that looks pretty ugly to me and I am sure that when you see the price it will look even uglier. What is up with the tail pipes?

Just doesnt look good. Bulky and those rear tires are really at an angle. The exhaust tips should have been kept to the stock look or viper look. The angled tips are weird. Dont like it.

Opinion's? Yeah - several and none good for the "wide body":
1. If you want that type of styling - get a saki slinger
2. The British have gotten along forever without mucking up a good design with "look at me, lets put some plastic geegaw's on my vehicle so I'm now like everybody else"
3. Why?
4. You could save a posterior load of cash for something that really makes your chosen vehicle better, bigger brakes, better exhaust etc, etc.

If you really gotta spend cash, send it to me.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGgly!

That is one of the ugliest body kits I have ever seen! They aren't REALLY planning to sell those things are they???

A lot of work and money just to cover wide wheels, add weight, and lose top end. Looks better; looker worse. That is up to you. But what do I know; thought I'm an old man.

Motor on.

It really is a bit much, don't you think? Pretty far off the mark.
