Designed for BMW and MINI vehicles, the Breyton Fascinate is stronger than a regular cast wheel due to the flow-forming process used in its construction. It comes in silver, gunmetal and matte black finishes, and is available in 19- to 21-inch sizes.

MOD TALK Bodykits
Q1. How can a bodykit benefit my car?
They add aerodynamic stability, but you’d have to be driving way past the speed limit to feel that.

Q2. Are there any downsides?
If the kit hasn’t been tested and optimised in a wind tunnel, it could affect your car’s handling/stability.

Q3. Do bigger rear wings mean more downforce?
Yes. But a poorly adjusted rear spoiler means excessive drag and increased fuel consumption.

Q4. Should I install a rear diffuser?
Like rear wings, diffusers also look cool. But for everyday driving, the answer is “no”.

Q5. Can I mix and match components?
You should not. A bodykit is designed as a set and should be installed as one.
