It looks like it is similar to the MINI Mania kit except that it intakes from the grill:

I find this a big draw, running that type of funnel wont last long in many places.

Edit: 77's duct is nice, any pics of it in the bumper, which bumper does it work with, much better.

i heard from a bunch of gearheads that Project µ is own by taiwanese brake company VTTR
just in case some doesn't know, but i'm not 100% on the credibility on this info, but then the guys seem to have actual facts about his info

let me know if you guys have any questions on the Project µ kit and pads. We are a distribution partner for Mackin.

We can get you wilwood kits as well if you are interested.

Nice... Ill be in touch (in about 20 years when a BBK is within reach)

Look what I just found... :sly: Project µ pedals. Unfortunately, they appear to be discontinued...

[VicSkimmr]

Is there a US vendor for these?

Edit: WTF I just read that they discontinued these?

Meh, nobody's getting back to me about how we'd get them in the states... Mackin Industries is the distributor, but I'm having a really hard time getting answers about them. Not my source's fault though - it's his source's fault!

[allmotorking]

yeah, no word from mackin on this, sorry. they were awaiting word from Japan but never got back to me on this.

[VicSkimmr]

Retarded, they seem like a good set of brakes for a good price.

[VicSkimmr]

I got word from someone in Mackin. Here's the email he sent me:

Jason,

Unfortunately PMU does not make a caliper kit option for the mini cooper s. They do offer high performance brake pads for autocross and track racing.

Best Regards,

I replied with an inquiry about how Mevius has an application for the Mini, but it doesn't look good for getting those nice teal brakes on our cars. Mevius does have a yellow caliper option though

Now I'm trying to figure out how much a Mevius kit would be.

Latest email,
My reply to his:

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for the response. The reason I thought that there might be a Project Mu kit for the Mini Cooper is based off of this picture I found from their euro branch, Mevius. I've attached it to this email. [insert pic of cooper S from earlier in this thread]

This was his reply to mine:

That is a prototype for the racing caliper. They do not make that one for production.

You can special order the forged 4pot slim caliper. They offer 3 different part #’s.

PMF4SBW01 – 4POT SLIM 300X25mm ROTORS
PMF44SBW01 – 4POT/4PAD SLIM 332X28mm ROTORS
PMF44SBW01B - 4POT/4PAD SLIM 355X28mm ROTORS

Pricing is starting @ $4050.00 MSRP

I haven't looked into those part numbers to see whether they're the Mevius brand or the Project Mu brand, but holy **** that's expensive.

$4xxx to buy taiwanese stuff?
