Anyone have these on their car?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/165533712140?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xiqxt4wyqww&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Akg1QpkZQ0 u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Would be interested in seeing what these look like on a Mini. Seems cheap for what it is.


current car is a 2014 R59 S with Black stripe.

Nope, most don't follow any lines. Its up to you, but this is what i would get.

I would get the JCW aero kit, look sweet on the R59. I have it on my R58 JCW.

I looked for months for a R58 or R59 "S" with the JCW appearance package and six speed manual transmission. Could not find one local. Best I could do local was this 2014 R59 S in lightning blue. Loaded with options but has 16" wheels. Wanting to make it pop with white stripes and white 17" - 18" wheels. Add some "flare" for cheap is my goal. Got other cars that most of my budget goes to. Might make a small investment in the eBay ones and adjust it to my liking. Going to take some time but should have the look I'm going for by spring. Thanks for the link and suggestions.

Ok, yep i found an R59 used local in kite blue with No Aero package, very basic, first thing I would do on that. Most dont have them unless a factory JCW.. that's what i found.

R112 or R113 look great, speaking of vipers, most look good with sport stripes...aka viper stripes.

That would be my end goal:

I had a Fiat 500C Abarth to toy around with and thought it turned out good. I figure the mini could resemble it in a way. The white on a blue or red car just adds something I like. Had a Dodge Stealth TT/RT with white wheels and pearl white paint. So nice.

The designer whom designed the Gen 1 MINI, also design the rebirth Fiat 500. He has posted up here before. The aero kit does has some similar designs.

I ordered the above from eBay and received it today. Not disappointed at all. For under $40 it's not bad. Plastic and light weight and if I don't like it or decide not to use it no big lose.
Looking into some white stripes. Anyone know where I can get the AC shnitzer decals at a reasonable price? Those wheels are fantastic.

We used to carry them and no longer do. Those decals I believe are nla, they nla those wheels also. We had one of the last sets in black. Lots of the gen 2 MINI stuff is gone.

Going more for aesthetics and less about go-go. I like the first ones (i10) and apparently they would fit.
I'm old and not computer savvy so if anyone could Photoshop the i10 wheels on a blue roadsters I'd forever be greatful.
Thanks for the comments.

Added the rear and side pieces today. Front splitter is going to take more effort. Crazy warm weather for February but just ran out of time. Please note that I'm still working on the total change to white stripes and wheels. Removed the last of the sport black stripes that came from the factory.
