Only thing I've seen for that kit is a rear valance for the stock bumper.

 

its one full piece...notice that the bumper part is completely smooth, no bump like the cooper and no grills like the cooper S

 

I don't think the Orcini is japanese flavor at all. I think it is a euroesk look on the aggressive side.

 

Thats because its Italian.

 

Whats it called???

 

All here is my '06 MCS with the Orciari Body kit. Take a look and let me know what you think........... I personally (kind of oblivious since i forked out the $$) really like distinctive way it looks.

it's the lumma tuning kit.... www.lummatuning.de

 

not really feelin it

 

I know its Italian but others here made that reference which i don't agree with.

 

The words euro-esque and aggresive make no sense together. The euro look is about being subtle, smooth, and very OEM looking. There is nothing subtle about a big huge bumper with aggresive front lip, and bright contrasting fog light areas similiar to that of subarus. Not to mention the rear with the weird diffuser look-a-likes and a exhaust surround.

I dont think its anywhere near euro at all even if it is made in italy. I could find hundreds of "import racers" cars that look a lot like the ociari, but i bet you cant find a euro-styled car that looks anything like it. Not to mention the fact that most Euro-style car owners refuse to even put bodykits on and simply modify the stock bumper with shaved parts and molding in OEM lip kits.

The Orciari looks a lot more like this (very aggresive, metal mesh grilles, big wide openings, same middle grill, not very OEM, fake splitter shaped lip,bulgy sideskirts as well,same rear diffuser look for that racecar style)



It looks much more like that than it looks like this (very smooth, oem-look due to shaving, simple aftermarket front grille that looks stock, no bright contrasting fog-lights or anything, doesnt really stand out as a modified bumper to most people)

 

Orciari is gag-a-licious, but the AC Schnitzer isn't terrible.. The aero kit is my pick, but it'd still be nice to get more options.

 

Rally, I totally agree with your examples. I think that the Orciari is a little bit more rounded than a lot of the Asian import/tuner/rice/whatever-you-want-to-call-it body kits, but the kit itself isnt very euro at all. I think that the only reason that some think that it looks euro is because its on a MINI, if that makes sense.

Euro, tuner, rice - they are all just labels that don't really matter anyways if you like how it looks you like how it looks, if you don't, you don't.

 

yah definitely makes sense...and thats cool. I just want to differentiate. Not that either category is better than the other....they just happen to be VERY different.

you have the aggresive Import/Rice or the subtle Euro/Kraut...pick or choose to your liking

 

It is amazing that there are so few body kit options for the Mini. I tend to prefer the facotry aero kit myself but the Orciari is well built. Some aftermarket body kits have serious fit flaws much less a bad look in general.

 

Have the Aero, like it a lot.
Think that the Aero front with the Oc rear would be hot though


And what about this?

 

tasty. a little slammed for me but ...tasty.

 

I have the Aero kit with the Orciari 3-pc spoiler and it looks hawt!

 

totally adjustable WHILE driving....gotta love airbags

 

Yep.. but, how is the ride? OEM-Like in terms of other cars that use airbags or more jarring/rough?

 

Orciari Definitely!!!

Back when I started moding cars in the mid 80's, when the "euro" look first started. It was all about dechroming or color matching everything with smooth lines throughout. Regardless of wheather you had a body kit or not. Not that there were many around!

I agree with MONITOR, labels are just that, Labels. If you like the look, go with it....I did.
