Not sure if Group-4 is even still in business, but yes you can still get them through RMW. They've been floating around this forum since 2009, and the first production run was early 2010... I know because I was pushing them for mass production, then decided not to get them at the time because of the way the originals where mounted.
I do have a few questions for you M7 folks though... Can we get some closeups of the canards and how they are mounted? Mounting studs and plates? Or just stick on?
Why cant they be used on the R53 aero bumper? The contour between stock bumpers and the JCW aero are maybe 1/16 of an inch difference. Even the car on the website (Randy's) is wearing them with the JCW aero bumper. The only standard cover that wouldn't roughly match the contour is the bumper cover on the 1GP... It was stretched due to blending the leading edge of the bumper into the wheel arch.

The canards were designed and made by JSart. I gave this set to Jan of RMWs so he could attempt a record run. I also sold a set to Randy, who is associated with M7, under the explicated agreement that M7 would never be given them so someone else could benefit from my design efforts. Now I see this announcement. So much for integrity.

Whooo... Are you saying it is a copied design stolen by somebody who you thought you could trust?
This is exactly why I switched sides so to say in the MINI community... One side will do anything to push its products upon the misinformed without any give a #### for who the screw over in the process, the other side doesn't even advertise 90% of the parts they carry yet are still 10 years later the go to guys for what works without the slander and lies.
Glad the new ownership of M7 really turned the company around! Without you we would have nobody to look to for snake oil, and lies!
JS I've seen your work long ago in the Honda world... I say it may be lawsuit time until they remove your work from the market.

In the photo I posted is a set of canards for a R53 GP. I also designed sets for the R53 and the R56. As a side note, my R53 canards have been installed on the R53 Aero fascia by several people including the before mentioned person.

This whole thing, just because of the fact M7 did it again, and borrowed (or just flat out stole) somebody else's product and tried to play it off as their own, kinda makes me want to ditch all the M7 crap off of my car and rethink how I am doing my exterior.
Then they don't even have the guts to come back into their own thread... Whats up with that? Its kinda looking like they are running from you Joel... Tails between their legs, leaving a trail of pee!

They top it off with a healthy dose of Chinese knock off low quality production standards for no additional cost though, so people still buy their stuff. :(

I am looking at M7 parts for my newly acquired R53 project MINI. Why is there such negative talk about this company? From what I have seen the parts look as good if not better than most other stuff on the market and the reviews off of this forum are very positive. I want to be sure I make the right decision before I spend my $$. Thanks!

This seems to be a open thread. I have a couple of comments. Peter, who originally started M7 tuning was here from the start. There are only so many ways you can change something and build things. People often take a design and improve on it. Not saying thats what happen.
The C-Wing. It has gone through several versions that have changed things. They have put it in wind tunnels to look at the function of it. They constantly strive to improve design.
As far as things being made in china, I can tell you that i work right in the middle of race country Mooresville Nc, and i work about a rock throw away from M7 and i can tell you that he uses american workers and his Carbon Fiber products are made right over in Concord Nc, right by Charlotte Motor Speed Way.
So next time lets make sure we get facts straight please.
Next canards have been around for awhile in different cars, not just mini. So to everyone is copying someone. They take an idea and modify it.
I have personally met Mark the new owner of M7 tuning, and i can tell you i see him making stuff and trying designs out right there in the shop. And there was no inside reason to change owners of M7. Peter has had long time battle health issues, and I hope the Mini Community can keep him in your prayers. It came to the time when he just couldn't handle it all anymore. And Mark has been in the race field for MANY years, and being a Mini owner, when the chance opened up to have M7 he jumped on it.
I enjoy using m7 products because they are well built and they stand behind their product. Why do you think people yank up every strut brace as soon as its posted on NAM by people who sell their minis
I just ask you guys, don't hold M7 accountable today for what opinions you have from the past. These guys are working hard to bring new items to market!
Thanks guys and have a good day!

I'm not taking sides or trying to start trouble but it would be nice to see some updated M7 videos rather than the old videos on youtube of Peter explaining products. About a year ago people were accusing Bisimoto manifolds in the Honda marlet of the same thing. Then Bisimoto fired back with a video showing his welders in California mocking up and producing custom turbo manifolds as they claimed to make in the USA. I'm not saying that needs to happen but videos speak very loudly and get around fast on the internet today.
There are several threads on here from users talking about poor fitment of M7 products, poor customer service/communication of M7 products, and people saying their products are just cheap China copies. Fire back with a video of the M7 warehouse, upload some videos of people installing products you're selling on the mini's they're supposed to fit etc..
When I'm researching a possible product and I find a video from the supplier standing behind their own product that says a lot to me much more so than some bland write up that's several years old. M7 tuning has two recent vids of heat shields and the rest of the videos are 4 years old. Update the channel with new products.

I don't think that's it at all. If people have doubts about a company, the company should respond. I constantly see Way commenting on products, standing behind what he sells.
