    No, as you say, they are not MINI's ;)

    However my point still stands that their bumper designs are very similar to the offering from DuelL - with enlarged brake ducts and large splitters being par for the course now.

    I'm just disagreeing with your opinion that this style of bumper is solely JDM.

    The stripes on top of the fenders are louvers...
    Same hood as the silver Clubman at the Dragon that had the carbon hood.

    They look like Transformers and they are way to busy looking on the bottom.

    They should try again like MINI.

    They did it with the first gens in '04. They called it a 'facelift' even though it didn't need one!

    This picture is just a clay type mold of the finished bumper above without the silly light inserts. If you look closely you can see they are two separate ugly pieces. :frown2:
