AWESOME or AWFUL: Is This The BEST A Tuner Can Modify A MINI Countryman?

I already know what I am thinking but I wanted to circle back with YOU, the tastemakers, of the AutoSpies collective here. I mean, they built it to sell, right?

So, it has to appeal to someone. I hope.

Anyway, a tuner going by the name of Wetterauer -- a.k.a. never head of before -- has created a package deal for the Countryman that includes a body kit, wrap, carbon fiber and updated seats.

The question is simple, though:

Is this AWESOME or God AWFUL?

From the depths of Germany’s tuning industry comes our next custom build, based on the MINI Countryman Cooper S. Wetterauer Engineering GmbH, one of the lesser-known design shops, has come up with a new package for MINI’s first all-wheel drove model.

The aesthetic treatment starts with a new foil wrap in a matte brown color for the body and in carbon fiber for the roof, side skirts, front and rear aprons, exterior mirrors, spoilers and air vents. The package also gives the Countryman a matching set of 18-inch wheels from ATS shod in 225/45 R18 rubber and matte exhaust tips...

Why would anyone drive a car that looks like it's covered in dried poo?

Headlights. Jeep Campass, Maybech, Dodge Neon, Jagaur S Type, Toyota FJ Crusier, inner headlights on the four eyed 2009 LaCross, Mercedes (a long time ago), but only the 2004 Kia Amanti was the copy because it's Korean. Now give me my negative votes. Hurry up.
