That is disturbing. It does not in any way flow with the lines of the mini cooper.


Just my 02 cents.

 

Bottom lights almost look like Scooby STI lights...interesting.

 

It looks like it has a swollen jaw... Is this the same kit with the thong?

THIS IS NOT FOR ME

 

I like it . It looks kind of like the Subaru WRX that I never bought. It needs a big wing on the roof?

 

Hate the lights, but LOVE the grill mod. I wonder if that part of the kit would work the stock bumper cover or mini aero kit???

 

Hmmmm.... not sure..like the grill,not crazy about black area around lights but maybe body color would work

ya, that would be cool if that could be done to the mini aero kit...

 

love the grill

 

I think the kit looks very sweet if you got rid of those ugly surrounds around the fog lights...those are horrid and ruin it. If someone tasteful and minor was done instead there I think the kit would be a big seller. The front of the car is noticable because of the head lights...and those fog light surrounds take away from it and gives the front of the car a few things too much going on and you don't know where to focus your eyes at when looking at it. Way to busy.

very well said casey. :smile:

 

Did anyone notice the large upright white air scoops near the base of the windshield? These direct air down into the fresh air intake behind the engine bay.

Overall I don't like the balance of the front of the car. Too heavy down and to the sides and too much emphasis on the squarish dark lights at each lower corner. Maybe it would work with a darker color like black or maybe a dark silver car and black or carbon fiber on those squares. Aesthetics is largely a function of balance and proportions. On the other hand some people really like the extreme look but to me it seems out of character from the MINI.

 

the grill looks nice, but the bumper is too much.

Much too much going on here. I like the stock Cooper look much better, though I like the look of a black grill so much that I had the aero grill custom fitted to my MC's regular bumper.

 

This kit is on http://www.cc-b.com

If you think the front is nasty, wait til you see the back! They also have some "interesting" seatback modifications.

aagggggghhhhhh....i think it blinded me

 

Seatbacks look pretty special...should be interesting to watch the evolution of the MINI bodykits

 

The cowl vents under the front windshield look very interesting. They look like little ram-air scoops. hmmm.... I'd be very interested in one for the driver's side!

 

wat do u expect, it is a subaru website!

 

Overall the front and rear spoliers would divert onlookers attention to the spoilers rather than the mini itself. I still prefer the stock aero kit.

 

Myself, I think the driving/foglight clusters in the bumper look pretty cool, just not on a MINI. In my opinion, its a bit too aggressive for the car. If the bumper didn't protrude so much, I think it'd look sharp on a Golf though.

The rear bumper, though, I like better. Its more butch than stock and doesn't look as garish as the front bumper. I think it'd be good on a dark colored car.

 

Good Lord that thing is ugly. What are they trying to do, WRX-ify the MINI? To be as fast as a WRX = I wish, to look anything like a WRX = I wish not.

 

>>

No, seriously I like 'em!

 

So it's trendy to put a leather thong on cars now?



The inside bits look pretty groovy though...
