Aero Kit with chrome grille

I picked up an Aero Kit from Downtown Mini in Orlando, Florida. I ordered a chrome aero grill cover on e-bay for my 02 MC (1SXE-MINI). FYI: If you are interested in getting an Aero Kit @ $350 off of list price they are available through April. Contact Larry or David @ Downtown Mini. I will post some more photos after the project is complete.

These are just primed from the factory and they will be painted Indi Blue along with the wheel arches. here are some photos of my 02 MC that the Aero Kit is going on.



BTW: I have since changed the racing seats to the new blue racing seats pictured below.



As far as cost for the shipping on the Aero Kits you will have to contact Downtown Mini in Orlando, Florida for the specifics, perhaps they could arrange to drop ship them from their parts source. It worked out great for me as I just picked them up. BTW: they will all fit into a Mini if they are unpacked from their large boxes and you don't have a passenger in the other seat.

What kind of seats are those? Do they fold forward for access to the rear?

I got them on ebay from a place called the Brooklyn Garage. The price is cheap, but the shipping is expensive. They come in a variety of colors. They do flip forward, which my other seats did not do, and they are a lot lighter than my old seats. The universal track happens to be the exact dimentions of the Mini track, but there is still a lot of custom mounting and bracket work to do for the install. I would be glad to give you more details if you are interested in making this mod. BTW: Remember that the air bag light will stay on unless you trick the circuit with a resistior. I just put a dragon sticker that I got at the last MOTD on my speedo to cover the light
