Feeler: Indie Blue Aero F/R bumpers

Ok, so I got a line on some Brand New MCS Indie Blue Aero bumpers. Front and rear without PDC. I was told they would fit an 04, not sure about other years.
I have seen a few on here before, but don't really know what the going rate is.
I might also be able to get them unpainted.
If anyone is interested PM me.

They fit all years 02-06.

Front fits MC and MCS

Rear has center exhaust. Can be fitted with correct mod to move exhaust to center on MC.

Bumper covers only with no hardware or other small parts, unpainted, list in the 350 range.

I'd love to have a front Aero bumper for my '04 MCS. Shipping to Kodiak Alaska would probably kill me though!

Gnatster,
Is that usually a piece or for the set.
If I find enough people interested I'll ****** up as many as I can providing I can get a good deal. Which I'm pretty sure I can.
Thanks.

Not sure yet. I'm just trying to gauge interest right now. I'm going to check in the morning on prices, shipping cost, etc. I'm pretty sure I would be under $1k before shipping. That could be the deal breaker.

I would be interested in a painted Indi Blue FRONT bumper only, but it depends on the price and shipping.

I'm interested in the front bumper and the grille inserts. But like Cody, it all depends on price and shipping...

Keep us posted!

sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but i think you are going to have to eat that brick. check out the vendor announcements in the R50 and R53 sale. prepainted aero kits for MCS for only $1k.

If you are looking to offer a bunch of these, like a business, you'll need to Contact Us to get some type of vendor status. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this before another moderator contacted you. Thanks!

Yes they are factory pieces.

I will contact you if this turns into anything. I play by the rules. I'm going to try and talk to my source today to figure out the details. We'll see if anything comes of it.

No worries. I don't have anything right now, I was just gaging interest. I looks like my deal is not going to happen anyway. The risk/reward is just not right.
Also I mis-understood what my source was telling me about quantities.
So you got yours for $1K? How much was shipping? I may still get one full kit from my source, keep the sides and try to sell the fronts and backs.

If someone is looking to buy up a bunch of these and then resell them for a profit it qualifies as a vendor (even if they don't have a business per say). That said if he buys three of less I'm not going to make a big deal out of it and require any type of program. If its more than that we can offer a really low cost program (less than $50 depending on what he wants to do).

I know you may not like us policing at this level but you are not aware of the amount of people we've had trying to circumvent paying anything even when they had a real business. If this member decided that there was a market for 50 sets and he was making $100-200 per set our vendor program doesn't set him back much AND we can help him sell them more quickly by providing promotional tools that you don't have access to just posting in the marketplace.

In the meantime continue with seeing if there is enough demand to warrant offering anything. Thanks!

Mark,
No worries man. I would defiantly go thought the proper channels if anything turns out. But as of right now, I don't see anything happening. I have no problem with the policing effort. You have to keep people honest right.

Shipping for me is probably going to be $200. But if you do decide to buy them, you better hurry up because after they are all gone thats it. Oh they are located in Ohio, so you can calculate the shipping like that.

Yes, the Classic kit is true. I e-mailed them not too long ago and here are the prices I got:

"Cody,
Side skirts retail $245.00ea / nam price $196.00ea
Rear cover retail $348.00 / nam price $278.40
Front hood arches retail $11.60ea / nam price $9.28ea
Front fender arches retail $11.30ea / nam price $9.04ea
Rear wheel arches retail $19.70ea / nam price $15.76.
Complere Aero kit retail $1250.00 / nam price $1000.00.
Thank you,
Classic MINI"

However, those are PRIMED pieces, NOT painted. I got this quote for a brand new factory-painted bumper at the same time.

"Cody,
Front aero bumper (pre-painted) retail $725.00 / nam price $580.00." THAT is pre-painted.

Note* I'm not saying the sale is not true, prices listed above are from 24 September 2007

You will get a better deal buying the entire kit rather than going piece mill. I was thinking of getting one of the last Indie Blue pre-painted kits, but I only need the sides. That's why I was looking for interest in the bumpers. There are only 2 IB kits left. Mini Chan got the 3rd one! If I can get someone to buy the bumpers for $325 each plus shipping, I'll go get one tomorrow!
