Hi,

I saw this mini online and haven't seen this rear bumper or front bumper


I've attached a link to the video

The rear bumper can be seen at the beginning of the video

The front bumper is 1:50

Also where does one get paintable side skirts?

Any help would be great! Thanks

 

They used to be an option when building your MINI. You can have your stock ones sanded and painted.

 

There used to be a "factory aero kit" which was different from the "JCW aero kit".

It originally looked like this and was very unpopular for good reasons:


So MINI later updated it to have painted wheel arches. It still never caught on and is rare.

You can look up the part numbers for this kit, or a good body shop can sand and paint your current ones.

 

Wish MINI would offer the painted arches/trim pieces for stock or upgraded trim packages..

 

Thanks RKW

and N2Mini, I believe mini offers paintable arches. I don't know about other pieces

 

but everything needs to be painted for the "look" to work... atleast for me..

 

That looks nice, did you sand and paint?

I remember years ago, I took my car to the most respectable paint shop in town. The guy works on classic cars all the time and is the go to. Wanted my wheel arches sanded and painted and he refused saying it would look good for a year, but the paint would flake off because of the material the plastic is made of.
