Has anyone heard of Prior Design? They make one of the most attractive MCS kits I've seen yet. If I had the money, I would jump on this. $2100 is pretty steep for a kit on ebay. I tried to save the pics, but the script wouldn't let me. So check it out here.

If you look at the seller's other items, it seems they only sell kits for high end Euros not to mention super high dollar items.

 

You better put your flame suit on.

 

IMO its a ricey version of the factory kit

 

that looks kinda nice. I wouldnt buy it but i wouldnt turn it down if it were gifted to me.

 

I've always liked the Prior kit.
It is really good looking.

 

SHOPPED!!!! (looks like 5 bolt wheels?)

lol its ok though, i agree. it does look really good.

 

I'm not a fan of body kits & wouldn't put that on my MINI, but if you like it go for it.

 

Front is better than the rear, IMHO. I think there are more attractive ones out there, but to each his/her own. That's what MINI is all about, right?

 

+1 Agreed
I was gonna say they are probably some cheap made in Taiwan kits that have a misaligned fit, but the T.U.V. certification baffled me. Keep in mind that regardless, of the USA in the name the fine print says all orders shipped from Germany, that should also drive up the costs. The front has cues from R56 JCW, sides R53 JCW and the rear like mishmash of designs like the faux pas underbody air diverter and the black grills, but imo its too busy and it does not flow with lines, maybe if it was 1 inch lower and 1 or maybe 2 black grill pieces, but 3 is to many, cluttering the rear bumper.

 

i owuls take it if its given to me.. if onyl it was cheaper

 

There are 5 lug conversions out there. Heck, someone even managed to fit Porsche brakes on a MINI. I think it is sold as a kit now.

 

i think the front is nice, and the sideskirts are alright...
it only looks good in certain colors tho, in dark silver its nice, but not in red. id match the front bumper with aero sides and an aero rear. it has a kinda m5/m3 look to it.

 

and i know/ work with a distributor for prior design here in L.A. although we deal mostly with e46/e90's, we can still get this kit. Company name is Euro-Spec.net and we are very reputable on the e46/e90 forums. So th the OP, if interested, PM me and ill see what i can get for you.

 

Having researched and looked at the many kits available, I like this and the Hamann the best. This is just looking at the front. Im not too crazy about the rear either.. a bit too busy. I would match the Prior front up with aero kit sides and figure something else out for the rear.

The most common of all kits would be the factory aero, I suppose the price plays a big factor. The entire aero kit costs roughly the same as most other company's front only. I've seen a few JDM kits, Hamann, ACS, Extreme Dimensions, and a handful of China/Taiwan kits on ebay. I have to say I really like the front on this Prior kit.

 

It looks a bit JDM to me. It's a good looking kit, but doesn't seem to match the MINI for me. I like more of the "Euro" look.

 

Euro? That looks more like an Evo 10 (JPN).

 

LOL

nice find. cept I think the body kit is older then the EVO X

 

Don't forget the GTR

 

Dont forget out friends with 4 rings!





I litterally laughed out loud at this. I mean I kinda like that look but it is WAY to round on the sides. The lights are just holes.

 

would've been nicer if the vents where the foglights are were sweeping upwards and NOT downwards IMO. the rear looks a little too busy for my tastes too

 

for whoever was interested in the prior design kit, i now have prices for all parts of the kit.

if interested, shoot me a pm and ill let you know the prices.
