Hey Guys, I have searched around, and either I haven't looked hard enough, or not looking in the right places, so I apologize that I couldn't find them on my own... I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of a cooper with the AERO kit front and rear bumpers, but with the stock side skirts? I have had to go this route after being rear ended in my mini after only owning her for 9 days:(... and I would like to see what I'm getting into before I get the car back... I'm just curious to see how good or bad it will look... Thanks in advance for any pictures or comments

 

Id stick with the stock rear bumper for the MCS. The rear Aero Kit bumper has ridiculous stickers. If I got another R53, I'd just put the front Aero bumper. I think the black trim all around looks good.

 

I just put a rear aero bumper with stock MCS front bumper and sides. I think it looks really good. I don't have pics yet because its only been a few days, but I think you will be ok.

 

Thanks for the reply's guys... I was just a little worried... I don't like how the rear bumper had the stickers, but it's kinda too late now i guess, lol... Another thing I read that makes me worry too is the fact that the parts of the front bumper thats supposed to be black to keep it all matching aren't textured... So i hope my bodyshop can do something to match that... Thanks again for your help! And pictures would be great if anyone has any...

 

I'll try and take some later today if it doesn't start to rain again.

 

Well guys, thank you for your comments, but it looks like after talking to the body shop and the local mini dealership, that it is cheaper to get the whole kit for the mini, and since the front aero kit doesn't come with the textured sides, and the insurance won't cover multiple paints to paint the front bumper, i would have to pay for the prep work and other paint out of pocket... so its going to be more than I can handle right now... Although it was a deal that was almost too good to pass up, i can't swing 1700.00 right now, but that would have done everything! Painted front, rear, sides, and fender arches... all sanded, prepped, and painted, bodycolor.... Ohh well, maybe sometime later... I really wanted to get something nicer out of the situation, but it looks like she is just going to go back to stock for now... maybe i'll get the aero grills or something... I just wanted to say thanks for the help guys!
