Had the Aero Kit installed today I got home late and snapped a few shots.... I'll post some better pics this weekend.

Looks great did you get it prepainted?

 

Very nice! The red and black looks superb and the blacked out trim is excellent. The aero kit looks great, too.

Said it before, and I'll say it again: your car is sick. Much love for the people who make CR/B look so damn fine. I mean, come on, look at his car! Is there a better color combo? NO!

Oh, and a question: could one get the black inserts for the front of the kit if he/she doesn't have them already? And if so, from where? Me like.

Sweet ride. Your MINI looks great.

 

Yep, got it from Classic, but had to wait almost 2 months to get it from Europe.

Thanks CR/B Rules!

 

Yep, call Jayson @ Classic and he'll hook you up. Just tell him you want the black aero kit fog light inserts.

 

Dayum!!! That is one sexy MINI!!!!!!!

 

Here's a picutre of my red 2006 MCS JCW with Aero Kit (See attachment)...

PS. I paid the body shop to paint the cut-outs in the rear bumper the same semi-gloss black that's on our arches because I thought the factory stickers looked cheap.

 

the blackout on the headlights looks soo nice.

 

Wow! That's a gorgeous CR! Well done!

 

ummmmmmm where's the bottom of the grill that's supposed to be on the bumper of the aero kit??????????

Nice car, BTW!

Why doesn't your aero kit have the lower half of the grill?

 

I LOVE the look of your car... I want what you have, only in BRG/White

 

Thanks for all the kind words it's been fun getting it to this point and I have only one exterior mod left and that's to add the JCW wing and that will complete the outside.

 

looks sick, very aggresive.....

 

And the lack of the Parking Lights, which I think are just over the foglight location. Obviously he got both shaved off... Looks clean

 

Really nice Mini.

 

Since a couple people asked why my car looks different...


Here's a list of the body modifications that were executed when the dealer's body shop installed the factory "Aero Kit":

1.) Removed grill in front bumper.
2.) Removed turn signal/running lights in front bumper.
3.) Installed my own turn signals near the front fog lights.
4.) Removed the reflector/lights from the front & rear black wheel arches (UK cars don't have the reflectors so why should I have them?).
5.) "Blacked-Out" chrome trim that seperates the red body & windows so it matches the black rain gutter trim.
6.) Removed all stickers & emblems except the "Mini" emblems on the hood & hatch.
7.) Replaced the chrome gas cap with a body colored door from the base model Mini Cooper.
8.) Removed the rear spoiler.
9.) Painted the rear bumper ducts black instead of using the factory sticker that was supposed to look like a mesh grille (It was silver with black dots on it?!?).
10.) Installed an extra reverse light where a factory plug was located (2002- 2004 Minis mounted the reverse light in this location & 2005-2006 Minis incorporated the reverse light into the tail lights then filled in the hole with a black mesh plug).

 

Your car really looks great Swarley. Can I ask how much you paid...kit + paint + shipping?

 

Nice swarley. Representin' the sport stripes!!

bahawton, your body mods are unique. I've never seen anyone else do something quite like that.

 

Looks Great!!!!

 

Thanks for the feedback Guys ; )

I keep thinking about Swarley's stripes & blacking out the rest of the trim the way he did- We'll see what happens...

PS. Isn't it strange the way Chili Red looks like a different color in every picture???

 

Classic Auto $1600 factory painted (No Chili Reds were available in the U.S. so they ordered it from the factory) $150 to ship
