Why dont you get the BMW Aerokit direct from the dealers or try website called mini2, they had a discount group buy last i heard.

Think the Orciari is a bit OTT, but each to their own eh!

Sure your talking about a mini with crap suspension....i havent heard anyone complaining before, its a very hard ride and stoicks to the road like glue, however try Eibach springs if your not happy mate.

Welcome :)

Hi, and Welcome.

one of our sponsors (Menzies MINI in Stirling) is doing a deal on aerokits fitted and painted for £1299 (i think, minime will correct me if i am wrong...)

Well,i have seen a good few of Orciari kits fitted, and IMHO it just doesnt fit right.Fist the new skirts are stuck into the old ones(ouch):( and when the kit is on , it just doesn't sit well on the car.
Now all the ones i have seen were fitted at different bodyshops, so it must be universal.(patienty waits for some argument):evil:
The only one i would recomend(especialy for re-sale)is the BMW kit ;)
I can confirm the price for you tomorrow :)

thanks minime, also a few other things i would like to get, as i cant afford a cooper s insurance ill have to make do with a mini one, and try and make it look like a cooper s, so was also interested in a cooper s bonnet with the scoop and a cooper s fuel cap,thin the areokit will be the best option, as ive looked over it a couple of times and it looks a lot better than the orciari kit,
thanks

hey,

Ive seen the Cooper S fuel cap retail at 50-60 quid approx.... Why not add some cool graphics like viper stripes etc.... inside of the cooper s front bonnet...it will never have the same power and embrassing if someone tries you out at lights thinging you are a cooper s!

Post some pics of you car, maybe someone can come along a photoshop the car how it may look!:)

[bobafet]

how do i go about doing that?posting pics of the car?

thanks

Bobafet - you need to set up an account on a web pic hosting site such as www.photobucket.com and paste the links from there into your post on here.

Bob, I would avoid Zeemax and Ociari. There have been a few peopl on here who fitted these kits and I always felt there was a small shred of regret after living with the kit for a while. I might be wrong 8)

I would ogo for the Aero kit! Or even just slap on some cooperS bumpers! You can get a full S kit for about £150. There are loads on Ebay,

coolio, will have pics up soon.
