Who makes this wing!

I've been looking all over the net to find out who makes this wing for the MINI. Heres a like from the PIAA site that shows a piece of the wing

BTW, I got these wheels And they are really sweet!
Thanks!

Looks to be photoshopped. Maybe nothing more than a digital dream......

Pooch1 check your signature settings......I am only getting the red box, no images.

It DOES look like it is a photoshop addition. To my eyes, it does not look like the wing is tall enough on the passenger side. ..

That's what I think. Makes me think of a semi truck deflector.

Patience my friend...I'm in the mist of building a killer home work station

IMO, all the after-market body kits made for the MINI today are underwhelming, contrived, out of proportion and lack the finess befitting of the MINI (factory Aero kit excluded). The problem is that everyone who has money to produce body kits think they're designers or hire someone with little design experience or poor design skills...

No kidding! Good taste is a rare commodity. Shock and awe is what counts.

Garbino and MS Design are two nice addon kits.

Hamann looks great.



Maybe it is this? I don't know who makes it but it looks good from the rear at least.

Design is very subjective...I guess "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

I was surfing the net and found this kit is made by a japanese company named Vieque.
Not sure if they still exist since their webpage does not work anymore.

I think that kit looks pretty good.

Well, all except for the clip-on ABS plastic pieces that are attached to the window glass blackout areas. Those look clumsy.

Thanks for the pics.

I like the wing, that's about it. For some reason I like truck looking parts bolted on a Mini. Rawr.
