The guys from Liberty Walk are well-known around the world for their bolt-on wide body kits. However, they usually do them for outrageously powerful cars that can easily be included in the supercar category. What about something else though?
Well, the MINI Hardtop can hardly qualify for that. As a matter of fact, it usually uses a fraction of what Ferraris or GT-Rs have at their disposal, even in JCW trim. That doesn’t mean it can’t look mean though.
If you want anything better than the John Cooper Works treatment, you’d have to look long and hard, however. Until today. Liberty Walks just released a set of pictures of how their wide body kit looks like.
Admittedly, it might be too extreme for any random MINI driver but it does make it special nonetheless. I mean, just look at it! It’s mean, to say the least.
Too bad the Japanese company didn’t make the kit for the current, model but instead chose the old R56 one. The good news is that you can purchase parts separately in case you don’t like the whole mix taken together.
To be more precise, we’ll tell you that the complete works include a new front bumper and diffuser, side skirts, rear bumper and diffuser, rear wing, tailgate wing and a set of wide fenders.
The price goes as high as $7,500 (€6,900) if you want the parts made of carbon fiber and can get a little lower, at $6,100 (€5,630) for the plastic version. That’s for the full kit, however. Getting the separate bits will be a lot cheaper.
It should also be pointed out that you’ll need a lowering air suspension and some separate wheels if you want your ride to look exactly like the one in the pictures. That’s another couple thousand dollars. However, if you keep your stock setup in this regard, the wide body kit will look so weird you’ll be wondering what possessed you to go down this road in the first place.
