okay I dont even own a mini yet but I got a question about the AC kit.
below are two pictures of the kit, one (the one on the left) is nice
the other (on the right) has a big gap, looks like terrible fit and finish, so I have heard horror stories about fender flares being two different sizes but whats up with that gap!

half the bumper just needs raising on the mounting post by the looks of it

yeah I'm guessing thats it, but I was just thinking "how much does this cost, and doesn't fit perfect"

anyway how much does this cost, I did a search but found nothing "hard to search for AC"

That just looks like the hood latch didnt catch, so one side isnt closed all the way. I have been known to not apply enough force while closing the hood and having a gap that looks just like that.

have u actually found anywhere that is selling the AC stuff?

EDIT:

i didnt see you were in the states... this place claims to have AC stuff if u were looking

Exactly, happened to me just yesterday. Bonnet (hood) not shut properly.

I thought about the hood, but the fender would also show a gap, no? (where the back of the hood hits the fender) I thik they just did a slap-dash bolt on, I would not print those pics if I was AC, but I must admit that I dont know if it was actually offical AC who took those pics.

URU do you know anyone who sells this kit, I searched but found nothing, either side of the pond, I just want to know what its going for.
