color (though the finish might look good with a different paint scheme)
wheels
body kit is actually not bad at all, but that front bumper needs to draw back at least an inch - the overall shape is pretty good but it just sticks out too far and they need to ease the angle on the top of it a bit

Agreed... If the rounded out the edges a bit on the front bumper I think it wouldn't look half bad.

I noticed that too. I wonder how they got their hands on those GP bits. I would like to add a few GP bits to my wife's MCS but have had no success.

Maybe the front bumper is to meet new Euro Dog Safety standards.

Ours does. Astro Black MCSc w/ 17" OZ 35th anniversary wheels.

The wheels look a bit off on this color. I don't like the front bumper but do like all the rest.

The flat paint and the color I likey.

But not even an R53 would look good w/ that front bumper. And what's up with the protrusion at the rear bottom of the doors, just before the rear wheel well?

It's unique, so it rules. To me it's that simple.

Like the front. Love the rear (especially compared to the Jcw kit)... the side slats, well...

The color-matched wheel arches are becoming a "must-have" item in my book. Especially on some of the brighter bodied cars. Might be able to get away with it in the Dark Silver I was planning...

Not so bad on the Astro Black either, but if I go for a body kit I'll be colour coding anyway.

I don't like the front at all. I did notice the GP sideskirts and wing. I like the rear, but would deffinately change most of that MINI.

All show and no go for here, we have so many intersections, and dips, that snow plow would get wasted the first time across town.:impatient

Like the orange. Is the roof on the first photo brushed stainless steel?
