Hey I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the aero grill instaled on the top and bottom on a 2002 Mini Cooper non s. I was wondering because the 2002 has those two chrome bumper things on the front. And where on the internet would you recomend buying the grill from thanks

My 02' does not have the chrome bumper things.. I always wondered about this.

 

I will post a picture. let me go get my cammera

 

ok how the hell do you post pictures

 

you need to post them up in your gallery first then http them here

 

ok Il just tell you they are below teh turn signal and above the fog light there oval shaped. They match the rest of the chrome.

 

the front 2 chrome pieces is like a bumper protecter right? if so i know wat you're talking about. i dunno if anyone has those along with the aero grill but you can either always take them off and paint them? o.O
but a good place to buy the aero grills would be from classic mini.
they're on the vendor list. you can contact them by phone or by email.
tell them you're from nam and they'll give you a discount.
i got my aero grills for $80 including shipping.

there you go. and remember. the bottom grill part for the upper bumper is quite a bit of work.

Or you can get the Aero grill in chrome: Check it out...

I've done it on my car, and it's a 2002 non S like yours; however, I did not choose the chrome inserts on the bumpers...



This grill is not a direct replacement, though... It's one of those "sticky" types, but with a little bit of modification, you can make it fit just nicely on the car. Here's a little how-to I did early when I first got the grill (scroll down to last post; link has more pics, too).

Just giving you another option... Not sure if you're a "chrome hater" like most, but since you have the chrome pieces on the bumper, that might work out nice.

Take care...
Leo.

 

Here's mine (Click for big pic)...



The bottom grille...I still need to figure out if I can paint that black without removing the bumper. And I got some bonnet stripes I'm gonna try to install in a few minutes.

 

I painted the bottom grill on mine, it was easy , but yeah you have to take the bumper off, but its not like its hard. I just finished putting my aero grill on too. That middle piece was a major pain in the rear

 

I dont hate the chrome. The aero grill in chrome is coll but why not just leave it stock. I also have a black top so i wanted to match the gril etc...

 

Removing the front bumper is real easy and takes about 5-10 minutes. If you need instructions I can post them on a webpage and post the link here.

 

That would be outstanding! Is it do-able for someone as non-mechanically-inclined as myself?

 

I know that this might be a pain but could some one photo shop the aero grill on it for me im dieing to know what this will look like. If you want to be a real big help you could also photo shop the Alta Light Bar w/ 4 Driving Lights
This will be the first mod I do to a car and also my first car

Thanks a ton

Here is a link to the picture of my front end https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...0&ppuser=36145

 

Im going to buy it with the alta lights and the brake paint. Wish me luck.
Has anyone used the brake paint from outmotoring.com does it work ?
and how hard it it to put the light bar and switch in for it
thanks

 

I've got a brand new set of 4 Altas and bracket available that I don't intend to use. If you are interested, PM me.
