Black Cooper Which Bodykit?

Hey all, I've been looking at bodykits to jazz up my baby after it arrives and after a long hard think I've narrowed it down to majic, hamann or Zeemax. I'd love to hear your experience with those, problems putting them on and such. Leaning more towards majic and I've emailed the guys who do the bodykit but so far no reply

Thanks

Smile bodykits

hi there.

I ve had the majic kit fitted for a while now and to be honest with the kits available now i would get a zeemax or the orcari kit as the kits are off better quality. If you wana see my car its in the lastest Gomini mag on page 90. As you will see the front bumper on the sides have gaps between the bonnet. This is due the the majic kit bending the bumper, so the kit isnt perfect fit(needs chopping) and the back apron caught speed bumps(this was before i lowered it!). The majic kits nice once on but needs alot of work fitting.

Ive seen a mini with a zeemax kit and it looks the dogs! So basically the more u pay the better quality. Like i said if it was me i would opt for the zeemax(if i had the cash!),the orcari or the new kit from mini-design would come in second.

Hope ive helped in anyway?

Cheeky-Red+White Mini One white stripes, Full majic bodykit, 18 inch Dare alloys, viper induction kit, playmini manifold, tarox disc brakes, omp strut brace, stage2 superchip, full powerflow exhaust system, uprated spark+leads, lexus style taillights

I have the Orciari kit and love it, but would have gone with the Zeemax if I had the cash. That kit is AWESOME. See my gallery for a few pics. More to come...

*Be Warned* There are a lot of people do not like the styling of anything other than the factory Aero Kit, so be ready for that. Everyone who has seen my car has liked it or said only "it looks good, but it is not my style." Just be ready for the comments.

I'd be lost if I had somewhere to be!

Thanks Smoked- Would this be something that someone who does not live in the UK would be interested in?

Back to the topic at hand (sorry)!

I like any of the side skirts with vents (Zeemax, etc.) as long as they go with the other vents (grille).

i think so yes, they feature a lot of US mini, there no reason in the future there wont be more europian minis in there, there have be a couple so far, there is a europian subscription on that site.

now then, kits!

the rear bumper on the Zeemax i really dont like 2bh, where as i love the oricari one.

the hamann arches are the winner for me, luk factory but ultra phat!!

anyone condidered the massive konig kit? or the new reiger one?

That comes out to $70/yr for a subscription! Most in the US are less than half that.
