That would be the Ab Flug aero kit with a 98+ spoiler.

I like the kit a lot. If you can find it it goes for about $1600+ without the flares. Sounds like a lot until you consider the Phoenix power kit goes for about $5000+

I'd rock either kit if I had the money...
 
Your saying AB Flug makes something that's not questionable? And something that actually looks good? Holy crap!! Didn't know that was possible.
 
Looks like a Peugeot 206 WRC car to me. Nothing but epicness.

Weird, thought I was replying to another post. I'm a page off haha.

I'll put up pics of a Spooned-out S2K later. I really, really am in love with the Spoon S2K. But to build one (essentially using every 'Spoon' part for either the AP1/AP2 available acc. to Spoon's European site) costs about $90,000AU. That's without the car itself. So basically one is paying the price of an impeccable NA1 NSX-T or mid-mileage NA2 for the price of an almost perfectly-balanced S2K. It's a tough call. Still, probably beats the price of the ultimate S2K transformation, the Amuse GT1 (which I imagine would surpass $150k and keep going). :scared:
 
My gawwwd recent Porsche pics FTW^elleventy hundred and twenty billion.

The 2.7RS - ahhhhh

And I love the wheel and paint combo on the slightly fettled GT2 - Vivid sky blue in matte I think will be taking off soon.

And the slightly wideded 944s are awsome too.

I just want a Porsche soooooo much. And actually, there are circumstances when I'd tune one. If I buy an aging 930 or a 964, I'd fettle with it. I'd harden the suspention and let it breathe a bit louder and easier. I wouldn't turn it into an 800hp monster, as I am much anticipating the cornering capabilities when I get my first drive in a Porsche - and handling is just as important in a Porsche RWD 911. I'd say....340hp - max, with uprated suspention and some deep dishes for the rears, it'd be sweeeeet.
 

Good on the Honda guys 👍 Those are by far my favourite MINI wheels and they're also the lightest stock wheels MINI have fitted on any of their cars.

If they're good enough for the Cooper Challenge cars that I've driven, they're good enough for the road cars. 15x5.5 and 5.5kg per wheel according to this site.

Incidentally, those bloody awful wheels that so many MINIs over here seem to be fitted with weigh 11.4kg each. That's for a 17x7 wheel... Just another good reason to hate the things. By contrast, they're the heaviest stock wheels MINI have fitted to any of their cars.
 
Alright, Mini guys, if ya'll keep insisting on getting 22s for your little hatchibacks, then we are content using your leftovers.

I should get a set of Honda wheels just to be cheeky.

If I was ever going to track the Cooper, I'd probably pick up a set of those wheels.
 
I like the MR, it's a nice body kit and the styling isn't a total eye-sore. Mini wheels on an EG sedan gets a 👎, the S2000 collection is yet another great post the one with the carbon or black bonnet is my fave, someone should post the Spoon AP's :).
 
Great. Now I want a set of MINI wheels for my Nova.

Can I get them in black?

No but with a can of spray paint you'll be good. If you do want them you can pick them up extremely cheap from someone who upgraded their rims. I've seen sets for $200.

Not bad...that's $50 a wheel. That's less than brand new steelies.
 
They remind me a lot of how people use Civic HX wheels often:

But those are 14s. At least the Cooper wheels are 15. You could use some spacers with them to get a better stance. I think they look really good.

The problem is finding them, there are only 2 sets on North American Motoring and they were sold a long time ago. I don't think many people got those on their car here in the states.
