The Rinspeed GT2 wing is hot too!
I agree I like the techart more but not the wing

Wow look at this mix and match!

Any pics of the front? Is it the Gt3 nose?

This guy should take off the GT3 graphics though INMO

I think the techart just comes off as more showy rather than rinspeed which is more subtle. I guess we will have to wait and see who mixes what.

That's one of our local client's cars here in Dallas...it has the GT3 nose and TechArt Type II wing with the Rinspeed Indy rear bumper. The car was originally black, it is totally repainted in Mini Cooper white, which is a off white color. Stuart's Paint and Body (in the background) did the color change, they do all of our body and paint work as well.

Graphics and blue wheels are not me personally, but the quality of the work is amazing.

How much do these wheels weight compared to stock? Are the designed to handle the tire pressure monitor?

IRC these wheels are 20", sort of negates the need to lower because they fill the wheel wells niceley. Any change in the ride or rubbing issues?

Car looks nice!

That is the first thing that Rinspeed has come out with that blew me off. I realy give the thumbs up to Rinspeed for that Body Kit. The only thing i dislike is the rear bumper. It looks too blant. Just my personal opinion.

How much is it for the Le Mans 500 bodykit? I wish it came out of the factory looking like that.

Not feeling the rinspeed rear; I do like the rest of the kit though. That being said, I'd have to give the nod to the techart kit (minus the wing).
