i dont think this universal application will work too well with our MINIs since our mounting point is contoured while the universal mounting plate appears to need to be flat... plus you'll have to buy more cf so the price goes up a little more...

To be perfectly honest, I don't really like the look of that mounting plate. At all. Just my opinion.

Ok.....a found these on a guys 350Z. He said that he got them from a place down here in Gilbert. I found the website. I will call them Monday to see if they can get a Mini specific app. Price is $200 and comes in either silver or black CF........ Better than $600+ !!! And they look awfully familiar!

I might take the ones he has on right now....for an extra set and something different. It's up in the air. They looked hot as hell on my car when we were test fitting the rims to the BBK. Anyways....back to the orig. post. I'll find out and let you all know. Cause if we can get the same app for the same price..I'm buying a few to sell! or a GB is in orderrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

I talked to the guys who sell em and they said they do not make an application for the Mini. They said they could fab one from the Craftsquare pic but they charge by the hour... I still might go ahead and attempt this. I don't know. P.S. - I thought I posted the website but I guess not. Here it is if you jokers get any ideas... http://www.intensepower.com/aucafiaemi35.html you can also get the APR mirrors (same style) under the Supra. But they are about $50 more.
