I personaly think that the aero kit flows much better. the fender lines dont blend at all with the orciari kit.

You can get a pre-painted aero kit for around $1400 shipped. An Orciari kit, which I agree is sweet, costs about $1500, then you have to pay for over-sized shipping and professional painting. In the end you're talking a big difference in price.

Anyone install the prepainted rear bumper with the PDC themselves? Just wondering how we'd go about it.
Also, any part numbers for the Hyper rear aero with PDC and the best way to get it in the SF Bay area would be appreciated.
By they way, the people who painted the arches - did you just have the bits taken off the car and done or did you buy a new set?

Installing aero
The install instructions for the aerokit are over on motoringfile.com in a .pdf file. Click on DIY and it's the first item.
I'll be uninstalling mine and refitting it to install the sport link shortly...

Front View: Although I don't have the front Aero bumper, I will be getting a front splitter (which will make it look sportier) and also a replica of the Aero grill in chrome.

Take care,

Hi everyone,
From reading this thread I just now found out about the rear bumper grill stickers on the aero kit, which I'm definitely not a fan of. I'm wondering if anyone has tried removing the stickers? Seems like a blow dryer should do the trick, unless the stickers are applied before the paint is dry. Thanks in advance!

They are $59 bucks from Classic MINI. They are black plastic and the edge around the light is rounded over and extends into the perimeter of the fog light hole a fraction of a inch, vs. flat light a piece of sign shop vinyl.
