Orciari Body Kit -> MC

I called Moss Mini and they said it will only fit a S. They said that there was a person who fitted the kit to a MC, but it was a PITA. My question is: besides the center out exhaust, shouldn't all the mount points be the same between a MC/MCS on the Orciari kit when the mount points are the same (swapable) on the Aero Kits between a MC/MCS? I really like the kit but I don't want it to be a huge heartache. Does anyone know what I should do?

2 years ago, I went to a MINI meet in Toronto, and I saw that MINI Cooper with the Orciari bodykit... It looked quite nice and fit well too.

hey, it is what it is, an ugly body kit.

if anyone has any thoughts about a body kit, the CSS or CCS or whatever its called should be at the top of the list, this the ociaria or whatever it is, very near the bottom!

I like the front but the back spoiler looks a little to fatty. Sideskirts aren't that great either, but the front is amazing!
Talking about the occiari.

My favorite body kit is the factory one personally. It just looks 100% better than the others.

I second your comment as well. For some reason I haven't seen any kit that justifies breaking the lines of a stock MCS. Perhaps the aero kit but I still have my reservations on that one becuase the upgrade isn't that much.
That said, I will probably end up installing one in the long run.

Except for the first reply, none of you were any help. I didn't ask your opinions on the body kit styling. I asked you if the kit might fit. If you don't know, don't pipe in. I know there are many kits out there ACS (which my 3-series has), Hamann, Zeemax, Factory Aero, etc. Whatever. Right now, I like this one. Thanks.

I saw an Orciar Body kit on a MC at a Track Day in Monza last February.

That's us!

I doubt Vecchio's will be open at 7 a.m. when we leave the area though!
