We have seen the MC kit but for those of you who would be interested in the MCS kit, her are some pictures. I have heard the price is going to be something pathetic but nothing is official yet.[img]file:///C:/WINDOWS/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/OLKF153/03mini-5l1.jpeg[/img][img]file:///C:/WINDOWS/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/OLKF153/ac-schnitzer_small1.jpeg[/img]

I think your pics are referencing YOUR hard drive. You have to place the pics where the internet can retrieve them.

No, you have to put them on a web server they can be referenced with an HTTP:// call.

Check Mini Talk and the Posting a Pic link for specific instructions.

Jim, I have just sent you an e-mail with the pictures of the AC Mini. I think the last two are probably the same! Thanks for posting them.

Its only two pictures. Every time I open this topic I can see the pictures. The thing is, it looks like a really nice kit, not too OTT. The front looks a bit dodgy but I really want you guys to see it. One last try to post these damn pictures.[img]file:///C:/WINDOWS/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/OLKF153/03mini-5l1.jpeg[/img]

Try it one more time. Even if you f'ed up the attachments I should have gotten the e-mail.

Attachment limit is 5MB so unless they're BIG .TIF or .BMP files you should be fine.

I have now mailed it twice. I have also tried to put it on here again. I am not sure if you lot can see it as it comes up on my screen each time any way. Is there any one else who would like me to send the pictures to? I don't know, I am going to give up soon. "If at first you don't succeed, give up trying" Homer Simpson.

Thanks for posting those. I had pictures of the blue car. I love the exhaust tip and the mini always looks good if the arches are sprayed to match the body colour. Any one know any details regarding this kit. I do know that it is another 200bhp engine conversion but I am sure the body kit is availiable to buy seperately. I really like that exhaust, have I already said that?

I think the coolest thing about the canvas top is that it appears to open over the front and back!

I also like how the front bumper adds more grill - also more reminiscent of the classic models. It's just too bad the plate holder breaks it up.

Personally i think its got just too much grill. Looks good but somethings just not quite right. Looks better on the silver mini, epsecially the pic of it in the shop with the nice wheels, but the electric blue 1 hasnt got the grill painted, looks wierd. Dont think it has any sideskirts on it either, just painted i beleive, but dont think u need sideskirts anyway. Think the back looks the nuts tho, quality!

And boyracer, your a computer wizard!

Interesting that you say that fulllupo, because I thought the opposite! I actually like the non-body color grill better! I think it would look best in chrome!

Really just goes to show how different all our tastes really are!

As far as I know, the canvas top is a Eu. option.. but the grill looks weird.. it's like a visual record skip...

I think I see what you mean. I guess I was looking at the small Blue picture and liking the overall affect. Try focusing on the MINI emblem on the small blue picture while taking in the affect of the whole grill area - I like the affect it gives.

However, when you look at it in the larger pictures and see the solid area where the bumper is, as well as the change in depth at the bumper, it does sortof "skip." As Mighty suggests, it might help if the grill slats were smaller... (if that's what he meant.)

I guess I like the idea, but the implementation isn't "all that."

Or if the slats were vetical....billit style....

HATE HATE HATE to say this.... But the vertical billet looks good on cars Like the PT... and could look great in this application if fabricated right... If I had the bankroll to do it, I would. so, As Herman would say " DARN DARN DARN DARN !"
