Rennline RS style door pulls

The owner of Rennline borrowed my '06 R53 for two solid months and I had to drive his '91 Porsche Carrera 4 as my rental.

My R53 was used for all the development work on these new parts and he installed these absolutely trick as ever Porsche RS inspired style door pulls. I have to say, that not only do they work really well, they are the same material as the German Schroth MINI Challenge tow hooks and just are the cats meow. Basically, you just insert your finger or grab the Chili Red RS door handle and pull. They are available in different color material and black bezels but why? Chili Red and silver are da kine. They should be available soon. Also is a skid plate, and full pedal gear.

I like. Any chance of a deal for the first buyers? I know you were just the development guinea pig, but it would be awesome to know more about a release date and price info.

Didn't know these existed for the R56. I always wanted to do something along these lines. Waiting to see price and availability on them.

Black bezels with a red straps or black bezels with black straps might look really nice...

Stopped by tonight and asked, they are in production for the R53, one-two weeks.

Mossmini should have the R56 versions, $94.95

NICE. I was eyeing these when I saw them for the R56 and was sad they didn't come for the R53. I wonder how they'd be to use. INTERESTED.

They ARE in production for the R53, which is good news and AMAZINGLY easy to open.

Tell the owner of rennline he can borrow my mini for prototypes any time. Those straps are definitely on my list to purchase. Any news on deals for the first buyers?

Thanks

Austin

Those are very cool, definitely interested in buying the door pulls, and the skid plates and pedal sets. First new R53 products I have seen in a long time that I'm excited about.

Yes, all good gear. I also forgot, he designed on my R53 track mats, scuff plate and fire extinguisher mounts too. The mats go behind the pedals.
