Don't tell MINIusa about this, you know what will happen.

I don't know who started this design but I really like the "TSW TS-1" I think they were called a few years ago. I liked the curvy vertical design. :smile:

the MINI x-lite design is not very original, they've been around for years, so Dodge probably copied the same people MINI did...

I notice it too about 3 months ago.

I also notice the CVT shifter were similar to Z3.

Mopar has had this design for optional Neon wheels for several years.

Your right, this older Neon (pre SRT-4) design is similar, but the new one is even more similar.

very popular indeed!

Borbet Type S

& Moda R4


Both aftermarket versions are being phased out that I handle! they have been in my line-up since mid 90's.
