Classic had a limited number, and colors, for $800. They were for the Cooper, but that means that you would have to keep the current S rear bumper. Sale runs thru the end on month.

Man...I remember Mini North Hamptons or something like that selling painted Aero Kits on E-bay for $650 SHIPPED. I haven't seen that though for a long time. I wish I would have bought one then. I think Classic is the one selling the kits for $800 but they quoted me an astronomical shipping price of $258 to a COMMERCIAL address. Give me a break. It should be $100 tops. I know because I have seen the UPS invoices. They are tryng to recover revenue.

I apologize if this is too obvious, but you'll want to do one of the following:

1. Purchase from somewhere close to Rhode Island to save on sales tax and reduce shipping costs as much as possible. However, if shipping exceeds the sales tax...
2. Purchase locally to save on shipping fees.

Morristown MINI in NJ may be a good option - the Cooper S Aero Kit is $1062.50. I've worked with Nick at the parts counter a couple of times, and he works fast.

Last week when I spoke to Morristown they advised me that they weren't shipping Aero Kits due to previous problem with damage during shipping!

Does that price include the paint?
