Does anyone have any pics of a MCS with sideskirts from Aero Kit but with regular everything else? Wheel arches still black. I have a chili red MCS and am interested in getting the sideskirts only but i am afraid it might look weird with arches still black. Thanks

The side skirts with black wheel arches should be fine.
Price on the side skirts are $233 each and for the grille sill skirt it is $4.20 each.
This is primed and unpainted. Your body shop can install and paint as needed.

Thanks minihune.

Is that $233 from the dealer?
Would Mini Cooper Parts or Classic Mini have a better deal?
Or is it better to get from the dealer to save on shipping, but pay the taxes?

Every aero side skirt at the rear has an opening for a grille- I think it is is this piece. It is also called the side skirt Grille according to the official MINI aerokit install pdf.

Minimac- the $233 was the MINI retail price but you can get it cheaper from Classic or from a dealer discounted for being a member of BMWCCA (BMW club). $168 is a great price! I'd buy four- double them up!

I'm glad you got a chance to see the side skirts before you installed it. I would estimate with installation and painting, it would run higher than $500. Much higher.
