That stinks. I like the design and when your run much wider wheel you dont get the poke look.

We finally have some wheel arches for the Gen 2 MINI that are not clinched make your own flares. The front lip will need moded to fit a bit. The arches look nice and they have the oem style tabs that can be U trimmed to hold the OEM clips. They come in carbon fiber. We don't have plastic ones, but i guess you could always paint ours for the painted look.





Nothing for the Gen 1 MINI but clinched : https://www.ecstuning.com/b-clinched-parts/v-mini/

Thanks!

Let me know what it looks like installed. We just landed some more Aero JCW body components that are hard to find and nla. So hope to keep supporting the JCW stuff that complements the Wide body and aero add one.


Update ** the Carbon Fiber flares are now NLA from Suvneer linked.

But we do have Gloss Black Flares in Stock Size. And.. they delete the stock side markers for a Euro Clean Look. OEM fitment. No one else in the market has these.

I wanted to post an update on these F56 flares. I received them but have not yet been able to mount them as my car is in a shop getting some major mechanical work performed and not back to me yet. New clutch/aluminum flywheel. LSD diff, Hybrid turbo, sports cat, methane injection, Stage 2++ tune, short shift kit, poly bushings, ........

Back to the flares - They are beautiful - fit and finish is great. and seem exactly what I was looking for. I did not want to aggressive of flares but obviously wanted a little more clearance. I did not want flares which scream BoyRacer but look stockish at a casual glance. these add 25mm front and 35 mm rear - Perfect for a street sleeper! Once installed I will give a proper review and photos.
