hi guys thought i would post here i'm think about bring over a "simple body kit" it's realy just front and rear with some sideskirts looks good and it is cheap.

have a look here and tell me what you think.


http://www.autofashion.co.uk/low_cal.htm

if anyone is intrested we maybe able to get a few and save on frieght on the total. but i won't be getting it for a while yet.

for those intrested it will cost less then $1000 landed.

i know you can get zeemax kits but they are about $2000. if any one is intrested mini sports has/is bring some zeemax kits in and that is the rough price they gave me.

hmmm autofashion.............


kit took 18 months to get made and exported here, kit cost $1000+ 800 shipping and clearence taxes. was very hard to do, if you are really keen be verry verry patient, it takes quite a few goes at emails before they will right back, the only easyerrr way is to phone them lots

have all ready email autofashion and got quote.

i really didn't think it looked that bad. i just want something simple to coverup where the front apron on basher has been butchered and also the is a small ding in the rear. don't want to replace apron as rest of front is pretty straight and not going to try doing back will only make it worse. l

go to my web site in the mini gallery you will see where the front is butched.
http://home.kooee.com.au/web2798/

i thought it just finished the mini off slightly more modern and also i have firbeglass flares and like the idea of being able to mould them in to the front and rear bars.

i guess it does look sort of "cheat" but i like the look and with a bit of time and moulding things together and to the body it would look much better.

anyway all to there own.

My personal opinion is that bodykits only look good if the rest of the car is primo as well. I Actually quite like that body kit, much more so than the full Zeemax kit - "sublety is the essence of herbs in cooking" as they say. And the price seems reasonable, although it's a bit of a risk to order it and hope the quality is good enough.

Funny how those headlight peaks make the mini look like it's asleep. And I don't like roof spoilers.
