Any good body kits still being made for R53's?

Just checking to see if anyone knows of a good looking body kit for R53's. The JCW kit has been discontinued by Mini, so the chance of finding one of those is zippo. Just curious if anyone else still makes a kit.

Thanks

Jim

I was bouncing around the other day just out of curiosity for a looksee,
and came across these:

But with the aftermarket kits I'd be very concerned about the quality of fit and finish.

Not much left, most of the aero stuff is gone. But we should have some new aftermarket kits coming out soon.

Stay tuned.
