RUN!!! LOL, my old Integra had this bodykit when I bought it. I ended up replacing it with the Bomex kit... I can't believe they would put that on a MINI...

It was a standard GS...Sunroof, Bomex front, Invader sideskirts and rear bumper, Thermal Exhaust, Sparco seats/harnesses, custom paint with painted graphics, fully built B18b, stroked to a 2.1 liter, nothing left stock motor wise, T3/T4 turbo, FMIC, etc...... I loved the car to death, but I couldn't ever get it to run right and stable... Due to college finances, I sold it, and bought a souped up Jetta The guy who ended up buying my car turned it into a drag/show queen put on nitrous and supposedly ran an 11.7 in the 1/4. I wish I could have been there I'll post my Fast and Furious car later

Hahaha, sounds really nice. Seriously, it really does sound nice.
There is a bright orange cooper here in town with, like, bronze rims.

Built internals and twin charged.

IMO ugly orange but everyone is terrified of it, haha, if you know what I mean.

Being different and unique is one thing.....I think a jdm-styled Cooper would be awesome.....but the lines of this kit just don't even line up or flow at all with the car. The front bumper doesnt look like it really belongs IMO I think there are better ways to let your JDM influences work on the MINI.

It might be unique and different....but it doesnt mean it's not ugly too

found some real life pics though...looks like garbage

^ That looks horrible -- far too big for the MINI (looks like a snowplow)

Yah...those aren't the normal sideskirts and wide arches.....those come from the other bodykit whose name escapes me... The company is Car____ It's the bumper with the big square scoops in the bumper that onasled used for his race car.

Someone needs to make a blistered widebody for the MCS...until then Aerokit ftw! But I like the one in Tuls and MEGAMINI's signatures.

Real names when they are made by the original companies:

Invader = Vader Bodykit

Max= Carzone (the one I was talking about in my last post)

Oracle= Orciari

Road Racer = MS Designs MCS-version

I was gonna say, the kit Tuls and MegaMini have in their sig (although it's not real) is kick *** I'll be one of the first in line

Doesn't do anything for me, but it's not terrible... Seems to make the front end a bit... THICK... for lack of a better description. The analogy to a snow plow isn't totally off IMHO, but I suspect that it would look better in person (assuming that it was professionally installed with very tight tolerances and a pro-level finish).

Yeah it probably would look better in person. The kits are either too crazy or to plain. Why dont they make something clean and simple...ahhh...

the carzone one is nice though
