Hey all,

What I'm getting is
- 2012 xf pulley (2.5lb)
- 2012 xf exhaust
- 2012 xf springs (lowers 1.3")
- 2012 xf rear roof spoiler
- 2012 xf speed pack spoiler (also in cf)
Other projects from Mina gallery, I'll ask if I can reveal them, if they ok it ill see if anyone else wants to do a group buy on those as well

Im waiting to hear back from Chris,
I made this thread to inform others of potential group buy
There are other projects that Mina is doing for exterior parts
Very unique stuff, that I love.
After I get an OK i'm allowed to mention it, I'll also add that into possible group buy
But everything would have to be separate. Separate group buy for exhaust, and separate group buy for Spoilers and etc etc.
I'll re update and edit my first post once I get all the answers back from Chris.
Anything anyone wants to group buy from Mina Gallery, please put your suggestions here and I'll see if we can get a group buy on them

Ok so here is the update fellow Jaggies
Good news and Bad news
The Bad news, I don't think I can get enough individuals for a group buy.
It will need to be all separate , Exhaust .. Separate group, Pulleys separate groups etc etc.
My personal orders are already in, Like I said I was only suggesting group buys to help support Mina and at the same time Help save JF members.
Ok now the good news
I have convinced Chris at Mina to offer Forum Member Discounts which would've been about the same price as doing a Group buy !
This would give us both what we want, More Mina G. Support, and Offer Discounts for JF members without having to Gather many, and also In case someone misses out the Group buy they can still get discounted parts.
PM me for more info,
and also PM for what you need and your name,
That way me and Chris can verify back and fourth for discounts

Some exterior projects for more aerodynamic appreance and etc. a lot of Xfr replicas and also in cf finish. I for one can't wait till I get my front to look even more aggressive without having to replace my bumper. Sportier looking but not in a ricey way, but a sexy jag way. They're just testing to make sure quality will be at its finest without breaking our wallets
U guys already probably guessed but stuff like intakes are on hold as no designs are effective and even filter replacements isn't as effective, certainly sounds there but jags oem design is pretty good actually, I mean it could be a whole lot better but it's doing fairly well , atleast for my model
Sort if like how bmw m3 oem air filter design is more effective than after markets
As a continue from one of our threads xf speedpack spoilers I'm going to be one of the first to get theirs on. I'll post a pic, probably in about 2 weeks. And I'll also get a non installed pic of the carbons fiber version when I go pick up my car, should be also done by then,
The carbon fiber should be so sweeeet, wished I had a white car now, lol cf spoiler, cf hood vent , cf side vent, with cf front lip spoiler would be one sexy ride
Too bad mines black, I went with painted to give it a classic sporty look, nothing flashy

It's great that you live close enough to take your car to Mina, because I've had some issues with fit and finish of all of the CF stuff I got from them (which I hope they have under control now).
I had problems fitting both of the CF rear diffusers I got from them, even when I took them to a good body shop (they had to send me a second version because the quality of the first model was sub-par). Even now, there's still a little bit of a gap on the edges where the valance connects to the bumper. The body shop said the only way to make it fit perfectly would be to do some serious sanding, etc. I plan on doing it at some point, but it hasn't bothered me enough yet to take it back in.
The CF front splitters were a lot shallower than I wanted and were really hard to adhere on the edges because of that. In addition to the adhesive tape, I also added some screws underneath to further secure them. Mina could've gone much deeper without intruding with anything, so that they could be mounted more securely.
The hood louvers didn't have any clips and the vent holes weren't finished evenly; they should've used a rotary tool to more thoroughly clean up the inside edges (which I ended up doing). In addition, one of the P's in the "Supercharged" lettering wasn't fully pressed into the epoxy. I was initially worried about the louvers blowing off at high speeds, since they were just adhered and didn't have any clips like the OEM versions, but they've held on at over 170 MPH without any issues, which makes me feel a lot better. I still have my OEM louvers, though, just in case something does happen.
Additionally, I wish Mina had pix of all of the CF stuff on a white car, or some other lighter color than black. It's so hard to tell how the CF really looks when it blends into the black paint. I'm tempted to do the CF side louvers and mirror covers, too, but wish they replaced the OEM pieces, rather than just popping on top as covers.
Anyway, I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on everything, and might wait to make my purchases until you post your impressions.

And to reaxions ,
I'm sorry to hear that. Next weekend when I head over to Mina's I'll post a pic of the spoilers before the install and see how well it sits just ontop of the trunk, so u can get an idea of the fitment. I know what u mean by maybe too much cf, but if I had a white car id go for it lol, the sporty look suits this car so well.
Hopefully there will be a light colored xf there for me to place the cf one ontop of to help give an idea.
I'll also bring up ur troublesome with their products to see if I can convince something in ur favor , but I'll do that in person
Btw ur Xfr is inspirational , I love it !
I'll keep u all updated shortly
And I'll answer the pm soon,

Reaxions, thank you for the informative post. Do you have any pictures of the parts in your car that you would be willing to share? Also, am I missing something on Mina's site or are half if these parts unlisted? Kind if a shame because I am interested but don't know what they look like, how much they cost, or even if they exist - by this I mean other parts I may be interested in but am unaware of.

I've posted pix in other threads, but I'll attach a few here, so you can see how everything looks...

I find myself very interested in the carbon fiber mirror covers, which do not show on Mina's website. I realize they go over the body color mirrors rather than replace the stock pieces, so instead of saving weight it adds weight, but I think the look would be cool. My car is Lunar Gray Metallic, so maybe the CF would be wasted if there was not enough contrast. Wish I could see a picture, and especially wish I knew the price.

No problem. I'd been hesitant to share some of this on the forum, because I really do like Mina and didn't want anyone to get a negative impression. But, the reality is that I've had some minor issues with some of the carbon fiber stuff. I've posted pix in other threads, but I'll attach a few here, so you can see how everything looks.
