Here's a way to get rid of them...a totally unsolicited "plug" for BumperPlugs!

Howdy folks!

Wanted to share some news. You will especially like this if you have holes in your bumper.

Burnie finally got his bumper plugs and they look great! Here's proof....

Before:



After:
(if you look closely you can see my brake dust cleaning stool at the left...)



A closer look:



If you're interested, contact Eric at Bumper Plugs

Many MINI colors are available, and if they aren't he'll work with you...he added Chili Red at my request and they are a PERFECT match.

Now if someone would come up with "aero"-style black grills that would fit a standard S bumber without cutting...hmmmm...any geniuses out there....

Hope all are well!

looks good. You can do the aero grilles yourself, I did. It is not hard.

Cheers,

-->Pooky-I'm not gone, just been travelling alot! Glad to see Pooky Jr. made it home...the plugs are one-size, you *might* have to drill out your existing holes to 1/4" for proper fit!

-->Hank, glad you likey...no cookin' for me tonight, its my b-day so someone else is doing the cookin'
