I would love to show you what it looks like, but mine was only on for 35 hours I was on the way to a show and hit a possoum. I totaly destroyed the splitter and cracked the front bumper badly If your mini is lowered the splitter will sit real close to the road. Good for show not for go!!!!

I figured that was the case since my front end sits low enough with just the Orciari kit, have to be real careful on some store/parking lot entrances. Sorry that it had to be proven the hard way.

Cheers!

I know theres a few orciari bumbers here, and a few slpitters, but haven't seen both yet.

Good luck!

Too low for me, the speed bumps would eat it.

Same here. I already hit the front bumper in some places around town, (parking lots, driveways, stray cats ) much less adding a front splitter to scrape off when the car is in motion.


Cheers!

too low even if you angled the car up the driveway?

Its a hassle in and out but its a must if your car's lowered with a kit.

Just to bring an old thread back to life... It is possible... Heck, the Japanese can do anything!



Take care,
Leo.

if it was lowered to the tires, the splitter would be sitting on the ground

Why you always bitin' my moment!? lol.

You're right, the car (lowered) with Orciari + splitter = no good. But apparently it is possible...
It can be done, but in my opinion 1. it doesn't look good, and 2. it'll be totally ripped off if you try to move the car for more than an inch at a time...

Again, thanks for the 'kawa hook-up, man. They do crazy work over there.
Leo.
