To my dismay, Morris Town Mini just told me they won't ship the JCW Aero Kit because it's too big... WTH? Is there another place that will ship this kit that is cheaper than the dealer?

 

I've got a 2004 MCS, so I don't know how relevant this is. I bought my Aero Kit (prepainted) from Classic MINI in Ohio (one of the forum's vendors) before they were discontinued for the 1st gen MINIs. Jayson was great to deal with and shipped the kit all the way to Kodiak, Alaska.

I don't see any reason why he would have a problem shipping you an Aero Kit if you're willing to pay for the shipping costs. Shoot him an email, or give him a call. I believe you'll find his info in the vendor directory.

 

Bob Smith in California has the kits on sale for 1,355, not as cheap as Morristown, but maybe they will ship? I haven't called them about it. That's news about Morristown--that's where I was going to get my kit if I could finally justify it.

I just took delivery a couple weeks ago of my 08 MCS and had the dealer install the JCW Aero kit (which came prepainted from the factory) for a tad less than $2200.

 

I've had a great deal of success with Morristown. Why not call the parts manager and ask him nicely.

 

Mountain View Mini in CA will do the install for $2,550.... Is that an OK deal for us CA residences? I called Bob Smith and they won't ship. I'd call the parts manager and Morristown, but unfortunately, my good looks don't transfer too well over the phone line...

 

Morristown will ship, you just gotta call them and be willing to pay for it. They quoted me for just the JCW side skirts shipped to NM, so I'm sure they will ship the whole kit if you really want it.

They probably just gave you a canned BS response if you asked them online.
