hmm, it dosent tickle my fancy. It looks like something you would put on your mini if you wanted to aid in the transformation to the bat mobile

Whoa ... don't care for the spoiler, but surf that site. Man, they have way more stuff available than I've ever seen.

Where did they get it all from?

What's with the kids these days sticking odd planks and boards all over their cars in the dumbest of places and calling them "spoilers".

That's a spoiler all right -- it'll spoil the day of any aeronautical engineer.

Oh, and, wouldn't it be cheaper to just by a Focus in the first place?





Ok, I'm done now.

I'm undecided about the spoiler. However, thay have some very cool and new parts I have yet to see on a MINI anywhere else.
Those painted headlights, the front spoilers, the side skirts....Anyone know what shipping is from Japan????

That would have zero downforce effect, the only thing it is likely to do is increase the overall drag of the car and decrease mileage.

They can keep the spoiler, but I liked the look of the black gauge faces with the black dash pieces. (although i think it really is some imitation carbon fiber which I don't care for too much)

Even though it´s not my style, those mods certainly make the cooper look interesting. They kind of eliminate completely the "classic" look.

The fenders look like taken out off a Nissan Frontier, but the colored headlamps actually look interesting... Still I prefer the original look because these mods make it look like a beetle

1000 Yen = $8.40

Those gauge faces = $167.50 !

And changing the faces is not easy

Changing to a chrome interior.... if purchased from Gut.... would cost well over $1000


there ya go!

Looks like they beat you to the headlight mod Mighty...oh well...
The stuff they is cool, but rather expensive...If you look up the prices, it comes out to over 100 for nearly every item...then again, this is a MINI

I think the chrome interior looks nice, but I would hate to have the glare burning my eyes all the time..lol I would rather have brushed aluminum.
