Well, ive asked this before about mine, seeing I came from Asia, i guess it is inevitable... but since it seems recently people are bent on slamming the 'euro' look and that minis can't be euro.... so can MINIs be jdm? as in lots of stickers (vinyls?), CF hood? JDM wheels in bronze or gold?

can someone make it as pretty as this AMUSE Z?


just wondering.......

 

MINIs can be whatever you want to be. I think most people would say euro is better than JDM though. btw what's up w/ the M3/M5 style side sills on the Z? hehe

I'll end up having JPN wheels (gramlights 57F) and suspension(tein SS w/ EDFC), but doesn't necessarily like the JDM "look" if there is even such a thing.

 

Doesn't MSFITOY's car look a bit JDM? Funnily enough, it was used as an example as Euro also. Seem's like MSFITOY's car is international.

 

 

Those wheels are HOT! They're pretty much what I'm looking for. Mmmm..

is that yours msfit?

 

ya, the wheels are photoshop..they are actually silver, but you can buy them in that exact gold color. Mine will be up for sale soon, the harness is up for sale right now.

yes its my car

 

Nice man, very nice.

 

how much u selling the harness for? takata... that must cost a pretty penny....

 

They sell for $410 +shipping on Ebay I am looking for just $360 shipped!!!

 

My impression is "JDM" stands for "Japanese Domestic Market" and is focused on aftermarket and manufacturer upgrades available for mainly Japanese cars in Japan only.

Thus a "JDM car" sort of has to be a Japanese make... Kinda like the Acura RSX I see around work that's decked out in "Honda Integra" badges... To me, that is the definition of a "JDM-style" car in the U.S. Emulating a car available in Japan, but not here.

A MINI can easily be modded with an Asian style: C.F. hood, body kits, wild graphics, etc... I see a few of those at local shows... But unless it has parts on it available only in Japan and grey-market imported to the U.S, I wouldn't consider it "JDM."

 

Not sure you will call mine JDM, like other said, MINI can be any way you want (of course if you have the $$ ). Having said that, I have Enkei wheels (soon to go, just ordered Racing Sparco, still Japan wheel ), vinyl, and some Japanese accessories. Just make yours whichever way you like.

 

All this discussion just looses me....

I agree, I don't think a car not made by a Japanese manufacturer can be JDM. While there are many parts for the MINI from Japan, the style of most aftermarket parts for the MINI are very JDM-like... and the CF bonnet is extremely ugly.
