Those are all over priced ebay flares . I've tried them on another car and they suuuuuuuuuck ( though they stated they were for the car too) and the measurements of ALL I've seem listed ,even for minis are wayyyy off and as you see I the pics they're showing later model minis where the fenders don't split up front..
the bodykit ones below ONLY work in conjunction with that kits skirts and bumps so no thanks...
lol see ! And that was AFTER fitting them as hood as possible even manipulating them with a heat gun and stuff..I don't wanna run into this with my cooper

 

This viddie just dropped the other day...


...but,
the kit appears to be unavailable and it was likely quite pricey anyway,
sort of strikes me as a Rocket Bunny style thing:

I've always thought the Rocket Bunny stuff is rad to the max badass.

Don't know much indepth regards to JDM history so there may actually be another company that popularized that style?

This viddie is pretty fun to watch and also gives a good shakedown...


...btw,
geeking out a bit further,
the RB logo...


...is a funny punny play on an trueblue oldschool icon,
the Okamoto company makes condoms and was a major sponsor in Japanese racing,
their OK stickers were frequently seen:





Offtopic overboard as usual for me,
so gonna go ahead and add another viddie!

riveted/bolted on fenders always look like an afterthought and gaudy. LibertyWalk kits just look like hotwheel junk.

Toyo Tires SEMA display always brings incredible cars:

Vs. LibertyWalk's slapdash junk:

The MWUK arch kit looks okay. I'm not sure how I feel about the transitions to the bumpers though. No idea about fitment or quality.

 

The Mini looks cool!
BUT - I really dislike the prefab "bolt on's"

Having been a fabricator - I've (had) done some extensive custom body mods to my VW's... (love em' or hate em')....
I prefer more unified seamless blending = FRP / body work.
Cool looking Mini - nonetheless

 

I totally dig that mini !

 

Clinched has universal options.

Some of the MINI people overseas worked with body shops to use these classics/

Darn guess ille have to do a custom flare job if I need to buuuuuut I got a set of new rims and tires and the offset and widths are different so I may not do flares if I decide to run these.. but here's what my saab( stage 3x tuned on e85 with intake and full 3in exhaust and downpipe) looked like flared out ( I did a terrible job) and my new 2x rims..

 

I thiiiiiiiiiiink my search has come to an end aaaaaaaaaand I'm probably going to be going with these . Abit pricey but I'm willing to pay more to have better fitment..lmk your guys thoughts
