unfortunately in this case it looks like i can't plan ahead-- i'll just have to wait til the kit's on my car to see what's gonna work, for both form AND function.

8 inches wide sounds a bit better for the fitment :smile: I would imagine it widens the car atleast that extra inch.
I cant wait to see it...good luck with the function part....i dont see a car like that performing well

the car will perform just fine...it may not be an auto X car but the only difference is it will feel slower to turn in...honestly NO ONE here is driving an indy car...if you are so concerned with performance...STRIP the entire intierior...Etc etc...
just have fun with your Mini....I for one think it will be a blast with 18 x 8s on there...with 225 35s it would be so much rubber!! lol that would be great!!

Are there replica kits out for cheaper?

I am still waiting word back from Zeemax as to whether or not the CSS (convertible) kit will fit on a regular MCS. I would think yes, but then again I don't know if there were any minute body changes between years (I have an '03). I only asked them this out of curiousity, because although the CSS looks hot, I think it might only look hot on a convertible. It's a touch less aggressive, and doesn't *appear* to be as wide, in my eyes anyway. It's all about the CSR for me! The CSS is also about $400 cheaper, though. BTW, does anyone know what "reinforced composite" means? It's what the kits are made of...

For BMW : Mini 1 Mini Cooper Mini Cooper S and Convertible
Here is the CSS on a darker color and silver mesh, I think the silver mesh destroys it. :(

I didnt know they offer a different version now (on the white conv.)...i like that one better, much cleaner

reinforced composite = FRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic), just like all other fiberglass bodykits.
Sure it will be a lot stronger than cheaper imitation bodykits, but it will still crack if you hit something on the road.
I think the CSS kit looks great, but too expensive for me especially if I have to get it painted.
