When i was getting my aero kit fitted the bodyshop guy showed me this baby .I took the pic in the petrol station

I think it looks the muts they hadnt work out a price yet. What do ya think

popey · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:34 PM

Looks good, think it might look even better with black or white roof

I love MINI, Laura · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:36 PM

Looks too blue for me. Like popey says maybe helped with a white or black roof.

Would be nicer with a nicer set of alloys aswell.

CC07ERS · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:40 PM

yes white roof would be nice

robSO15 · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:41 PM

Colour coded arches look perfect, why are they not painted anyway?? Would love one with a black roof either in Laser or Lightning blue. A Electric blue White Cooper S parks near me and it looks fab with colour coded arches.

it looks soooo wrong...

and those wheels look soooo small now... the mirrors look toooo big and the spolier looks like it has just been plonked on..it does flow with the curves of the body anymore

popey · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:49 PM

I think the other problem is the picture isnt the best to show off the laser blue we know and love. Its very tricky to get a good picture of the colour.

Cant see how its changed the "flow of the car", spoiler aint been moved as far as I can see, just think its the angel of the shot.

CC07ERS · Mar 3rd, 2007, 07:58 PM

here is another pic i took

eggtruck · Mar 3rd, 2007, 08:27 PM

stop being mean!! It must have cost a fortune!

AndyParker · Mar 3rd, 2007, 08:49 PM

i really like the colour coding! simple but pretty effective. Possibly a factory fit option for the future??

nephilin · Mar 3rd, 2007, 09:01 PM

I much prefer the black trim than having the car colour coded - gives the car some needed contrast and a sportier look.

But go get it if it floats your boat!

popey · Mar 3rd, 2007, 09:04 PM

Thats better, looks the nuts.

Dazmac13 · Mar 3rd, 2007, 09:38 PM

Love the colour coding but i agree it needs a different colour roof and mirrors, way too much blue other wise. i'm having mine done with a black roof and mirrors, wanted the sideskirts but can't get anyone to insure me with them

raymondmc9 · Mar 3rd, 2007, 10:56 PM

Really like what he has done there. Totally transforms the car. i did the same with my GP. All mini's should come colour coded. Black bumbers and arches are just nasty. I like the blue mirrors, wheels look fine but prefer the old s spokes.

Purple Dave · Mar 3rd, 2007, 11:46 PM

I think it looks good.

The thing that I like is they have the Aero kit and kept the chrome grille. Looks much better than that odd piano black grille! Why the Piano Black anyway??? It doesn't go with anything else!

Purple Dave · Mar 3rd, 2007, 11:48 PM

Also, If they're not careful it will be towed away and crushed !!!

They've got no road tax !!!!!!!

good spot. i have to agree that the crown spokes just don't like right. they need flamespokes at the very lest

KenL · Mar 4th, 2007, 01:21 AM

I think it looks good but I also like the black trim on some colours. Yes, a pain to keep looking good but a nice contrast.

On a black car, probably looks great but on red, blue etc. the black looks great.

Painting them gloss black to match a black roof might look good???

i dont think it would be worth the money as it would be so hard to really see the difference. thats y i think it looks best on light coloured cars as it really stands out and completes the car. the plastic just cheapens the appearence

mister.t · Mar 4th, 2007, 07:17 PM

Depends what colour the colour coding is on. Looks mega on Laser blue, yet Im not sure on MY or even PW.
