Can I put a vote in for installing just the Aero grill and the Aero side skirts?

hamann kit

To me Hamann has the best kit. If you only want to choose between Orc's and the Aero go with the Aero kit as most everyone else is going to advise you. Perhaps you can do something different with in terms of paint or grills or even different inserts.

Anyone have pics of the Hamann front bumper with factory aero sideskirts and aero rear bumper. I was thinking about going that route.

That is a very tidy kit.

Similar lines to the Aero, but with that horizontal bumper detail of the Cooper.

I like that and hadn't seen it. Any pics of the rest of it?

Where has the Hamann kit been hiding? I can't believe it looks so good and hardly anybody knows about it. The front bumper is almost screaming for a huge FMIC. I am searching for some more pics of the entire MINI...

hamann kit

Sure the Hamann kit is expensive. It is made out of OEM materials (PP plastic) and is in limited numbers. You want to be unique put one of these bad boys on. Majority of Mini enthusiasts have the Aero kit; how many have you seen runing the Hamann. At the end of the day is a question of how bad you want it. As far as more photos go checkout www.hamann-motorsports.de for more photos. Places like www.coopersport.ca or www.minimania.com carry this product.

Im 16, and like both, the Orachari is cooler in my opinion. I cant wait to sell my MC, and get a MCS, they are soooo fun. Ill get an orachari once Im in college.

Oh, and I thought Orachari was Italian?? Prolly wrong but I thought so......

PS, I dont like the Hamann. Not that you care.

Halfmoonauto carries the Orciari kit for around 1,300 I think. Just check the vender directory for them.

One kit that no one mentions (probably because most people hate it) is the AC Schnitzer kit. It's rediculously expensive, but anything from ACS is. It has the huge Audi style grill, but i think it looks cool in certain photos. I've yet to see one in person though.
