Whats the best place to order one from? Ive seem it on many different sites, and just wondering what sites had best prices and service.

 

I have had nothing but great service from outmotoring.

 

ya thats where i have been looking

 

Got mine from http://www.myminiparts.com/
Best price I found, and fast shipping.

 

is the installment of the lower grille really as difficult as they say it can be?

 

Yeah... I had a hard time getting it to fit nice and flush. Luckily a club member here was selling a new primed aero front bumper, so I ended up buying that.

 

ya, i was just checkin out your gallery pictures and we both have the same color car, i just have a black roof.

I really like how the aero grille looks on our color car and am most likely going to order mine asap!

 

Check out the grills from M7, on the Custom Mini Shop web site. They have top and bottoms that match, and they work with the stock front bumper. They come in silver or black, and also have the rear grills that match. check them out Customminishop.com.

 

Nick, here's a link to another thread where the lower grille installation is discussed. I posted some photos there that will help with the flush mounting issue that blainelv mentioned: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=105379

Your screw trick is pretty neat. I did all the trimming on the grille but it would never sit right. In the end I am glad there was an aero bumper available and a good price.

 

About 3/4 of the way through the installation I started thinking about ordering the aero bumper myself.

 

where did u end up getting the aero bumper from?

 

One of the members in our club had an extra. But outmotoring sells all the aero parts seperately.

would i want the new bumper? or can i just use the stock one? is the new bumper just making everything much easier to install?

 

The aero bumper definitely makes things easier, since the grille is made for that bumper. The stock bumper can take the aero grill (like DesignIt's post) although it takes some cutting...ok lots of cutting. It all depends on what you want, like, and want to spend.

 

sounds like a bunch of cutting and work, but its really worth it i bet
