Fender Flares for R53

Does anyone know of some R53 Fender dlares that aren't apart of an obnoxious body kit. I saw a liberty walk body kit but it's 06 to 13. Is there a way to make that one fit my 03?

Nope! I've been bugging @keepitaesthetic on instagram to make his widebody fender kit for the R53's. Apparently it's in the process of being designed, but who knows!

Other than that, @battle_mini on IG did a "no-f***s-given" kind of riveted-on flares over our existing fenders, but we're sorta SOL at the moment.

You can't use/modify an R56 flare kit because of the difference surrounding the hood/front wheel arches.

Extrem dimensions

I was looking up up and picking the internet and saw that extreme dimensions makes a decent looking 6 piece kit but haven't had an luck finding any reviews or what not. I lost one of my guards due to some broken clips. I'm running a 16x8 et0 wheels and really would like to not throw dirt all over my car when ever I drive!

Here's the link to the kit

I had Texas Track Works in Fort Worth install these:






You'll need to contact TTW - I don't know where they got them. And they did require modification to fit the MINI.

Alan, those don't appear to be much if any wider then stock with the way it lines up with that back stock section.. I'm guessing it is some though.. I'm thinking the OP is looking for a nice wider flare option.. There have been quite a few threads started on this with some people claiming to be going to make them but then never hear from them again... The hard part is tying a wider flare back into the stock trim piece and or having to also make that piece as well... There is a guy in Australia who is making a kit and selling them thru RMW but you have to do quite a bit of other work to tie it all in with the bumpers etc..Made out of fiberglass... $1800 or so plus rear air diffuser, paint of course, etc etc...Gets pretty pricey...
