Why does your car look so high in this pic?

Sorry I couldn't tell you, I bought the car with the bumper already installed, I'll try to remember to ask the previous owner when I talk to him again.

I'm pretty sure i know the previous owner and talked to them about it. It was a lot of bandsaw and dremel work...looks good

Now, you need some 19" I-Forged rims and KW's!
Like this one from Evolution Motorsports. Nice ride but they (EVOMS) are too expensive.

Cheers.
Aw but the naked lady helps the MINI look that much better, i also noticed it is no longer listed on there site.

Wish I had a better picture to show than this. But, I'm glad to see I'm not the only Cooper with a kit.



I also wish I had an installed picture of the awesome door sills (since aero kits don't have them) that Dragonflyer has made for my Mary (I got them Friday!), but my car's at the dealership and god only knows when I'll get her back to put them on. I hope they weren't a total PITA to make 'cuz my husband wants some for his MINI now!

Since a few people asked I went back to the The Planet Tuning folks and they have re-listed their parts here on eBay Germany:
http://cgi.ebay.de/Heckstossstange-S...QQcmdZViewItem

It is in German but you can also contact them directly at:
info@planet-tuning.de
They can reply in English and are happy to discuss US shipment. Naked lady not included.

Cheers

Yeah i was going to do just Smurf cause the car is all white and blue, but since i think all cars are female it has to be Smurfette, but that doesnt mean she cant look mean.

The prices are quite reasonable (at least without shipping). Here are the separate pieces:

Front bumper (279 Euros)


Rear bumper (279 Euros)


Side skirts (149 Euros)


If the side skirt price is for a pair, that is quite a bargain alternative to the factory OEM version.

I'm still a little worried that that front bumper just looks like a photoshop job. A good one, but still doesnt look real.

I love the rear though
