Does anyone know if the Aero Kit front bumper grille (top) will fit the standard MCS bumper? The dealer says no, but when I set it up next to the bumper it looks like a perfect fit (this dealer has been proven wrong on a number of occasions). I'd like to know for certain that it does fit before I remove the front clip to install the grille.

there are TONS of Minis on NAM with aero grills...and no AERO kits...your dealer is very wrong.... I had it my self before I went all out on my Hal
