Wide-Body Conversions. Developed for MINI, Over a Decade of MINI Performance Styling.

​

Since launching our first wide-body flare conversions in 2015, Mini Flares has established itself as a leading

specialist in aftermarket MINI styling.

Our wide-arch conversions have become a popular choice for the R55, R56, R57, R58, R59 and R60 MINI chassis,

with our F56 and F57 conversions continuing to gain momentum.

​

With over 1,000+ Minis equipped worldwide with our products, our passion for creating distinctive,

performance-inspired Mini builds shows no sign of slowing down.
 

From our home in the UK, we supply our products to customers across the globe, bringing the Mini Flares approach
to Mini enthusiasts worldwide.

 

Expanding the Range

Following the success of our Generation 2 wide-body flare programme, expanding into the Generation 3 Mini platform was the natural next step.

Our F56 and F57 wide-body conversions are now available to order, with further developments continuing across the Mini range.

​

We have also seen growing interest in our Paceman and Countryman conversions. In response to this demand, both models are

planned additions to our expanding product line-up.

​

The R50 / R53 Generation 1 Mini remains the only major chassis currently outside our available range.

While we are unable to offer a conversion for these models at present, the R53 is a platform we intend

to revisit as our current range of developments progresses.

​

What Makes Mini Flares Different?

​

Design. Quality. Fitment.

Our wide-body conversions have been developed with a focus on aesthetics, practicality and the ability to accommodate

a more purposeful wheel and tyre setup.

​

For our Generation 2 conversions, the flares are designed to bolt directly to the original factory fixing points, providing a

straightforward and secure installation method.

​

When building our own Minis, we also bond the flares in place as part of our installation process, creating a clean,

integrated finish that complements the overall design of the vehicle.

​

35mm Wider. A Whole New Stance.

Our flares extend approximately 35mm beyond the original plastic wheel-arch extensions, creating additional space for wider wheels

and tyres while giving the MINI a more aggressive and purposeful appearance.

​

The result is a distinctive wide-body conversion that combines visual impact with the opportunity for a more

performance-focused stance.

​

Wheel & Tyre Fitment

To complement our wide-body conversions, we offer a selection of carefully developed wheel and tyre packages.

Our recommended fitments have been designed around wider wheel widths, suitable offsets and tyre combinations to complement the conversion.

For the R-Series MINI, we also offer a lightweight flow-formed alloy wheel manufactured specifically for our wide-body conversion. Available in a range of colours and finishes, these wheels are readily available to order from our stock.

Our 17-inch wheel programme has also been developed to suit both R-Series and F-Series applications.

Below you will find our recommended wheel and tyre configurations for the MINI models we cater for.

Note: Professional Installation by an experienced custom body shop is recommended for these flares as these parts are “After Market” not OEM.

All body kit items are shipped in Matt Black and will require prep-work before painting. Minor adjustments may also be necessary to ensure an oem fitment and will include cutting of the original fenders to fit the customised parts. These are normal body work and installations steps to fitting any wider fender. it is always better to test fit all items before painting.
