Our R56 Mini aero kit programme is going from strength to strength as our flares seem to be finding their way on to some pretty epic builds, Gary Adams who is based in Florida is a personal favourite, we just love what Gary has done and the plans he has in store for his amazing cooper S, with his wheel upgrade happening over the next couple of weeks its going to be worth a revisit.
Next up to mini wow us is this little pocket rocket from Italy that belongs to Mauro Abdel Nour of P3M, Mauro contacted us a few weeks back regarding a new set up he wanted on his time attack Mini cooper-s, as he wanted a wider track so was looking for a wider fenders and ours fitted the bill perfectly and just what he had in mind, we wasted no time in producing a couple of sets for his up and coming race season, but I can honestly say we didn’t expect it to turn out quite like this little bundle of joy pictured here, he has taken the look to a whole new level, its extreme to the point of mini perfection.
We already knew that Mauro had ordered his wheel set up from ATS and we also knew it was going to be a pretty aggressive width and offset, but he was quietly confident it would all work and we have to say he was spot on as those ATS GTR’S with the negative -5 offset fill our fenders to the absolute maximum and just look at it, its an absolute stunner, we are really looking forward to the P3M crew this season as they hit the Italian time attack series in anger.
