SMG, tell us if it helps keep the rear clean at all!!

 

Luv ur car! The Hamann wheels are the best looking of any thing I've seen. Ur's is only the 2nd with them.

The diffuser is cool and worth the money if it keeps the road crud off of the back of the car, otherwise I would have done the exhaust first. (:

Sorry to nag but, what is the brand of the tires? Are they Hamann too?

 

still waiting for the supersprint/hamann exhaust's review....

my tires are yoko's advan 048R. Super grip.

hey blue mcs, who's the first with those hamann wheels then???
any pics?

 

Having mental block issues this morning, but an attendee of our Forrest Grove Rally had these wheels.



R

 

it's difficult to choose a tire that is as wide as the rim.....my R tires are fatter than normal tires but still not as wide.....i guess that's one of the problem with 17x8 rims.

anyway, lets lower the car a bit more and make it looks like a bat mobile.

nice one.

 

MaxMini also has the hamann wheels. Maxmini.net I think...

 

Ok, well the gallery on his site doesn't seem to show the Hamann wheels. I've got a nice hi-res pic of his car on my desktop. DS/B just like yours SMG...unless SMG = MaxMini? Its MaxMini over on roadfly. Here's a link to a post he just did today with a pic of his car... http://forums.roadfly.com/mini/forum...171&page=1

 

the car looks so much better without the front licence plate......i wish i can do that in hk without getting any tickets

:???:

 

How much is this as a set for the front and the back. I love the look of the front with it added. (the Hamann one) I love that look. I asked them directly but I have to call the USA seller.
Thanks

 

opps, I found it.

Current price FRONT = $430
Current price BACK = $545

And the nice 17" wheels are = $385

 

hey where did you find those prices?

 

>>hey where did you find those prices?

I found them from http://www.wheelpower.com/

But I had to call them to get the prices.
They are still the only Hamann importers that I found in the US, that carry them, but if you find them for cheaper anywhere else! please let us know!
:smile:

 

my front still hasn't arrived yet :???:

 

sorry if you said this somewhere already, but did you order them both at the same time?!?!?! also, how much did it cost you to get it painted?

 

rear diffuser - U$580 painted & installed.

 

>>SMG, tell us if it helps keep the rear clean at all!!


Well??

 

don't quite understand what do you mean by "keep the rear clean".....sorry. :???:

 

The back of the MINI gets very dirty, especially when the roads are wet. Has the diffuser helped to alleviate that problem?

 

>>don't quite understand what do you mean by "keep the rear clean".....sorry. :???:

Is this what my dog has been doing across my rug???? Rampart we have a "code brown"

 

Seriously now...I doubt that the diffuser could keep the rear of the vehicle "cleaner". As your mini zooooms thru space at warp speed a huge vacuum is created. This sucking power is an ugly force; its sole purpose is to place dust, dirt, debris, road kill, small children, etc to the back of the vehicle. The diffuser sure looks sweet though...motor on.

 

now i know what you're talking about......urr......still dirty......but the car really is more stable when crusising at high speed......believe it or not.....hhahaha

 

For anyone interested those are the Hamann Motorsport accessories for the mini. Rader Motorsport stocks those parts.781.326.0004

 

I saw an 02 MC with thise wheels in June 02 @ the Import Xpression in Boston, Ma.

 

well after the winter I just had here, I think I will rule out ever getting these "wings"
Just not worth the money, for the chances I would be taking.
