Looking for some realy nice body parts for my "S" any one can give me direction, it would help....not the dealer installed stuff, Something that i can buy, paint install,

 

i love the looks of the hamann front spoiler and rear diffuser. check out http://www.wheelpower.com they are the us hamann disty.

 

Thanks for the tip

 

What kind of parts are you looking for? There's not really a whole lot out there right now. Still kinda relatively new car. There's a couple svery similar copies of the aero kit out there as well as the subtle kit by Hamann. MINI Mania has one out, but I think it's for the regular Cooper.
Another iea is,..........................If you have the dough, approach a reputable fiberglass shop to make you something custom. Then you can make some money off it as well. They make the mold of the part, you pay for the materials and the labour to make the mold, and then the design is yours. After that, you'll only have to pay them for materials and labout to produce more copies of it, and charge whatever you want. Ka ching $$$$.
Cheers, and happy hunting out there,

 

Would have to agree with MINI-MadMan. I have painted the factory one the same color as the car at the moment and it looks very nice for the time being offcourse...

Motor on!

Ghaffry,

How did your wheel arch moldings turn out? I have inquired at several body shops about getting the wheel arch moldings and side skirts painted to match the car and they have all said the finish would not be as smooth as the rest of the car. They do not want to sand the trim pieces because they are so thin and are afraid of damaging them.

Here is mferguson's sweet EB S with the aerokit side moldings painted. It looks great up close. The paint matches very well in color and texture to the factory paint.

 

I saw a Cooper in the showroom at my dealer with an aero kit, rims, etc. They had the arches apinted as well. Looked very proffesionally done. But the textured grain of the plastic arches still came through the paint. Am guessing that a lot of putty and sanding would need to be used in order to hide the texture and give it that shine.
Cheers,
