God, never thought a MINI could be such a minger. Looks like an Alpha Mito.

There are sooo many bumpers out there you can find for the R53. Prior design is nice but its more aggressive like the CHD tuning or Ibher design IMO. I agree and love Hamann but you will pay.

Lumma, Esquiss or Veilside that are also kinda on the same lines. All are real tuning companies that know how to make aftermarket parts, but any bumper, especially fiberglass is going to need little fitment I imagine. Maybe you would like the Xenon front bumper...

the sideskirts on the second pic ^ look pretty nice. but overall, the aero kit is the cleanest and best looking kit.

the hamann lip kit is also a very nice kit. if you get the front and rear diffusor, and pair it with aero sides, IMO, thats money.

the prior kit is nice, except for the rear. i think the prior front and sides put with a aero kit rear would look pretty good.

This only confirms that Belgiums can do one thing right and thats beer.


On a different note:

Anyone know of a good Rally body kit, lights, roof rack, etc? I am looking to convert my 03S ( laser blue)

I think beer is a better contribution to mankind than the Cosworth.

As a Belgian* I take much offense to that statement.
Only because we also make the best chocolate in the world, and we currently hold the 2nd place record for going without a government, right behind Iraq!

That was good.


It seems as though some (like the owner of the Mini above) lack higher cognitive decision making abilities. Like these people...

I actually have the front bumper from PD as my OEM one died due to snow. It looks quite nice but requires a decent amount of trimming to fit properly. The meshing is really cheap and you have to cut it, there were no instructions that came with it and no mounting supplies. I recently lost the little wind-splitter from a fresh snowfall but I almost like it better without it. I will post some pics of it when I get home later tonight. It honestly looks quite nice, but it takes a LOT of work to get it to look that way, and it also took FOREVER to get it (and shipping was gross).

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it tho
