They are pricey to say the least. They are only made in Japan at the moment but they look sweet:

I'm looking for Spanks for my CM. I backed up in front of a plate glass window and Zaftig caught a reflection of his boot. He actually wept.

As for anything else, Zaftig will be kept factory. Image-wise, we're actually quite happy and will be saving the money.

Different strokes and all that, but may I be the first to say "ewww!" on the rear end.

Not my cup of tea...

I agree with you. The rear looks gross. I have another one I will post up in a min.

The first one is a pretty blatant 911 GT3 RS ripoff IMO.

You could probably have a competent body shop graft real Porsche bumper covers and weld OEM exhausts on there for that kind of coin. Seriously.

I've kitted/lipped some of my cars in the past, but these days, I need all the clearance I've got and then some... when someone makes ARB style bumpers and a lift kit, call me.

Cheers,
Tad

BMW ssg where are you finding these countryman kits? are you useing google or do you have other sources? i think the duell kit gives the countyman a streetracer look but also a porsche look. i liked it at first, but now im not sure. the second kit looks like it has jcw side and rear parts with a different front bumper. i like seeing what all the aftermarket can do to the countryman. i wish i could read japanese. i hope someone in the usa starts carrying this stuff, i love options

I think I have an Understudy in Google searching... I spent a lot of time searching and clicking on links. It was amazing to me to find the CM so popular in Japan that companies are making after market kits for them. I would like a combination of both kits I listed there. If you use Google Chrome, there is an auto-detect translator that will translate most of the Japanese into English. I contacted the companies and they are willing to ship but that in itself is a couple car payments.

I am hoping that someone in the US will see some of these kits and fabricate something of their own thoughts. I like the JCW kit; I am just looking for more.
Here are a few pictures of my '02 325i, I mixed and matched body kits until I found the mix that I loved and stayed with (CSL and M3 kits):
