I really like this Sorry for the huge pic. Longboard Sorry for the huge pic.

 

Could you zoom out a little bit?

 

I like it too. But $295.00!!??
Jim

 

I agree, considering the similar M-Technic for the M3 is $124.95

Or $189 in Carbon Fiber!!!!

 

I love their sales pitch; "This lip is the missing element discarded by the german engineers for cost containment." The $295 asking price is the proof?

 

$300...? for a piece of plastic? Yeah right........................

 

I agree but if you like it, what other choice do you have?

Longboard

 

I like it as well, but agree that they are a little too proud of it.

 

I dont like that company.

They seem to try and pass off alot of stuff as something real special.

A shift **** and a badge for almosy $100 bucks? you have gotta be kidding me.


Give it time, they will go under with stupid prices like they have listed.

 

very nice but $295 is what i paid for my CF CSL trunk add-on.....

 

Looks good especially on Pepper White

 

I am not trying to defend PaloUber but in all honesty if this piece is made out of ABS or PP plastic the tooling would be in the 10,000 dollar range so how many pieces do you have to sell in order to break even and then make profit. Just throwing it this out for consideration.

 

In that case you are talking about $10,000 / $295 = 33.89 units.

I hope that answers your question.

 

Just for a little add on here, one of the many fireballed team cars has a lip on his spoiler exactly like this one. I saw it at the Monterey Historics. So I think someone else will be selling them soon. But who knows. Also, Palo Uber has a NAM price of $275, but that is still steep.

 

I just like it since, something so small will add soo much to the look !

 

well considering these have been on ebay for YEARS, i think someone else makes them and im tempted to go get an ebay one and one of the just to see if they are ripping people new *** holes and selling the same thing that you can get on ebay for $25...

 

That would be very interesting if they are. Please post what you find.
When somebody comes up with one that keeps the rear window clean I'll buy it.
That would be a rear diffuser in conjunction with a better-designed wing to break up the vacuum behind our MINI’s.

 

You are exactly right!! I have paid $10,000 for tooling on things much smaller.

It cost's money to make things. And if no own makes another one you own the market and can set the price. I agree that the price is high. But I go go back to my statement that if no one else has one what choice do you have if you like it?

Longboard

 

Please show us the link for the item that fits the mini wing for $25.00?

Longbaord

 

awaiting link please..

 

Palo Uber's art is overpriced crap and consequently so are most of his MINI pieces.
IMHO.

TJM

 

Not trying to challenge anyone here, but they don't really need to buy the machine and make it themselves right? Can't they just pass their design to some manufacturers for production?

 

i wonder how the other brands' aftermarket parts are so cheap then..?
I thought it costs more than $10,000.....?

 

If I were to go the "bling wing" route, I think I would do this one first. "Only" $275.



But I will probably go with the only functional wing I know of...

 

Wow thats big. Not my taste but cool.

I love the GP wing but you can't get it.

Longboard
