hello all,

any one know of any tuner working a CARBON FIBER front lip that look like the Harmann piece (or the one on SMG's mcs)? i like the Harmann front bumper lip but i don't want to paint the piece. i really like CARBON FIBER products, and i like to use it where ever i can (except my hood scoop). it would be nice if someone made a CARBON FIBER piece like Harmann's.

thanks guys,

Hamann

 

right,

hamann

 

hello all,

i couldn't wait any longer, so i ordered the Hamann front lip for my mcs already.

i guess when someone makes a CARBON FIBER version, i switch it then.

-Have you seen the japanese,Carbon fiber,front lip spoiler??
It looks great!!
Does anyone know who actually makes it or know where to get it?
There used be a link to it from another thread...

 

What is the cost for the Hamann?? I have seen it and it looks great. Cost in US dollars??

 

MiniRyno,

that's what i was trying to find for a while but unfortunately, i couldn't find anything. anyone with any luck in the field? it's too late for me now; i ordered the Hamann piece already. this would be good for people who are in the market for exterior mods in the future.

hamann front lip is 299 euro
hamann rear diffuser is 399 euro

carbon front & rear will be cool...

i have only seen the photos of the hamann front lip in DS cooper S,
is there any pics of the front lip on other colour cars??
like Eb etc.
want to see how they look

 

I found the other thread about the Carbon fiber Lip Spoiler!

It's on page 8 of the performance mod section, titled "Japanese and Minis"

-The Japanese company is called NKB and their lip spoiler looks killer!!
-Does anyone know how to contact them or know of any domestic distributers?

 

The link is actually on page nin of the Performance Mods section.

 

MiniRyno

that looks pretty nice. how can you tell it's carbon fiber though?
i might just paint my Hamann front lip black when it comes in.

I don't know for sure if it's Carbon Fiber but it really looks like it is in the pictures.
I think you made a wise decision getting the Hamann cause I spoke to several Japanese aftermarket guys that haven't even heard of NKB Power. :smile:

 

MiniRyno,

i will post pics after i get it done. it should come in next monday or tuesday. i need help with the color though. i have an electric blue mcs (white top) with un-painted factor fender flares. now should i paint the harman front lip electric blue, or should i try to match the un-painted black portion of the front bumper? too bad there are no pics out there to help.

bbt4,
Do you plan on painting your fenders at some point?
If so, then it would look sleek if it was electric blue.
I like the look of the lip spoiler though,
so I would personally paint it matte black.
This way it will stand out regardless of the fender color!
also, you won't need to worry as much about touch up if it's
matte black.
cheers,

*just my opinion :smile: :smile:

 

black it will be.

bbt4

 

oooh.
i think you should do the electric blue!
have you seen SMG's?
his is painted DS...
i think body color looks sweet on it, too much black on the car already!

 

i also think electric blue for the spoiler looks better

 

I think that you should go for e/b too, and you could always get the arches done at a later date. SMG, do you plan to paint your arches?? Does any one know if this is an expensive thing to do?

 

i think i'll leave it black for now....coz black matches my roof.....hehe

 

if i do the OEM aero package, then i'll paint the arches. otherwise i don't think so.
it's definitely EB or black.
i'll deside when it comes in.

bbt4

 

if EB/W looks good when u get urs done, i think i am going to get mine done too

btw are u getting the diffuser as well, or just the front lip??
thanks..

 

pls. get both without the wing....hehe

 

i do plan to get the rear difuser later on, but for now i'm going to add the front spoiler and as much performance mods as i can.

bbt4

 

What's the Diffuser?
Does the Hamann work with the Aero kit 'front bumper'?

bbt4,
With EB side skirts the Hamann will look better if it is also painted EB!

If you don't get side skirts then the bottom most portion of the car is black all the way around and I'd say continue the theme...

either way the Hamann looks great on the mini and you can't go wrong.

just my opinion!
