Does anyone have pics of an Aero front bumper with a stock S grill?

 

anyone today?

 

Like to see that myself...

 

thats just taking a step backwards.

 

does anyone have anything helpful to say

 

There used to be a thread on MINI2 that had quite a few pics and instructions on how to do it. The last time I looked at it was a couple of months ago. I went on there a couple of days ago (since I have thought of doing this myself) and cannot locate it anymore. I did as many different searches as I could think of and still no luck.

 

good luck with the swap. if I ever got the aero kit that would be my first mod, cause I think the plastic looks sorta cheap imho

 

chrome LOOK plastic is better?

 

Looks great! Was hard to make the stock grill work?

 

See these threads on MINI2:

I actually want to do this too, as I'm getting my front bumper replaced and was contemplating an aero bumper.

Anyone on here do this? I was looking at the MINI2 threads and don't have a very good idea of how much extra work has to be done.

 

wow. that actually looks pretty good. before seeing pics.
i was trying to think to myself how it would look and it wasn't pretty..
it looks pretty nice. but i favor more towards the aero grills.

 

I was thinking about doing the oposite, Aero grill on stock bumper.

I don't really like the look of the stock grille and the M7 one is just a bit too rich for my blood.

 

M7 looks too aftermarket for me... almost an awkwardly big opening.
the stock aero grill is the best solution imho. here's mine.

also, dont forget the black pieces around the fog lamps.

 

by far

I think the stock grille looks 100 times better than the aero.

 

I found a thread on MINI2 that gives a little how-to information

I'm definitely gonna try this, I'm getting an aero kit sometime soon and I'll post how it goes.

 

uhhh, not on my car. it will look like a fish with its mouth open. lol

 

hahah i think that look is unescapable with the MINI...even the aero goes that

 

nope. not when you have a front plate.

now it looks like a wabbit. it's all about the
focal point of the car.

 

Well nice pic of my old car. I got the dealer to do Aero kit and chrome grills. I was told aboput the difficutly of the bottom. It takes longer because the tabs are not there. Chad did it he works at MINI of Charleston.

did they use adhesive (3M double stick trim tape) or fabricate hardware?

 

Aquasar -- the car looks good . . . but now your sig isn't right

 

Yeah, I know I just recently lost my 04 SG/SG and replaced it with a 06 CR/CR. I need to get a pic of a nice red MC


Kenchan

They would have fabricated something.

and got my aero kit installed and regular grills in. Not sitting perfectly, but still looks good IMO. I really want the aero side skirts next when I come up with some dough. BTW, this is my first picture post on NAM after over a year and a half of owning my MCS. I'm gonna put up my old hood and front bumper up for sale soon, hood has a dent and bumper has some black marks from a tire, they are gonna be going for very cheap in case anyone knows a good body shop guy. The other guy's insurance took care of me, hence the new aero bumper.







Also, here's more pics of other cars in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread that wants to do this.
