Was just looking on supercars.net and saw this pic of what i think is a Laser Blue R56 with a Hamann bodykit and wheels. Looks wicked!!

SUPERCARS.NET - 2006 Essen Motor Show

Just went on Hamann website and found this! Good to see tuners gettin a crack on!

Willkommen bei Hamann Motorsport
Go to hamann tuning then Mini then R56......Looks like a full colour coded bodykit + wheel and even new exhaust already!

yes it looks the part why do bmw continue with the black arches they are so retro

I know you would think after so many R50 customers colour coded there cars they would have the brains to do it to the R56. I know its more expensive n this n that but what other top car makers have black plastic wheel arches??

See they've fallen into the R50/R56 trap. It says R50 on the menu, and you get R50, R53, R52 Tsk.

Looks really good with the colour coding, not sure about the other bits they've added to the trim, bit too much/stuck on looking for my liking, but the colour coded trim looks really smart.

[I love MINI, Laura]

That looks so much better! Colour coded and lowered! That is exactly what is needed to finish it off. I like the R56 but there are things I couldn't put my finger on and its large black trim and the gaps between the wheels and the arches. This is perfect. I don't like the side skirts on this MINI but I can see where I will be going with it now! Great find well done! Thanks!

yeh a agree with you there i think the aero kit would look better than this kit. But the arches colour coded and lowered with some bigger wheels. Look so much better!

ive always liked the hamman parts for both minis the body kit is nice and differant but not chavvy and i like the skirts as they look like the GP ones
