Aero Rear Bumper Mesh Stickers ?

Do they rear bumper Mesh Stickers come in other color than "Silver-Like" ?

I saw pictures of ones that look white, but some stated White does not exist, is that correct ?

Try cooperflags.com - a site sponsor - they have a couple of standard options but you can ask for a custom set and have them use shades that best fit your body color. I asked them to make me a custom set that's dark gray with black hexagons (to look more like the front grills), and that's exactly what they sent me.

Sorry, I missed this question until just now. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

stickers turn Yellow !?

well you see the theme of my car is Black & White, Period! So I have taken any extra colors that interfer my combination like;

The front Orange Side Reflerctors and rear Red Side reflectors, i replaced them with plastic trims from England because they dont have them there. I know its against the law, but trust me, cops here in montreal got so much other things to do than worry about than chasing who dont have reflectors, lol !!

I replaced the rear lights with clear white lights, without adding any reflectors too, tinted the car 15% all around,,

now I have purchased Aero rear bumper from Scotland, because purchasing one from North America will come with plastic trims with reflectors, and most say ( they are un-removable ) as they're molded with the bumper.

I have just found a picture in the Gallery section, and the Meshes look White !! Dont u think ? or am i color blind ?

Black Stickers

Johnny at Johnny's Auto Clinic or West Coast Mini in San Pedro, California has a black MCS with aero kit. He didn't like the silver either, so his wife made a black decal for the rear. He offered me a couple and I am sure he would make more if he knew there was interest. The number at his shop is (310) 521-0330.

I was so shocked yesterday when I learned of these decals. I had always thought it was real. I can't believe that MINI has opted for the same solution that Hasbro used on the GI Joe's I played with back in my childhood. This is like when you see a car with painted on Testarossa vents... I never figured MINI for a faker.

As some of you know, M7 does have a mesh rear grille for the regular
body kit. We are currently flirting with the idea, of a front lower Aero Grille
and a replacement set for the rears. These will most likely be available in
the second quarter of this year......
