This noob Scored a cheap 06 aero bumper today

I got lucky this morning scoring an oem 06 aero bumper for $75... I just need to get it painted... just a few questions though..

1. What is the paint code of the dark blue mini
2. Are mounting points the same
3. Can i use the stock signal and bumper fog lamp from my MCS
4. Anyone here selling a lower grill or point me where i can get one

Check the inside of the driver side door frame for the paint code. That's where it is for my 2013.

Which blue? In 2006, there was Hyper Blue (sort of a Royal Blue) and Space Blue (sort of a Navy Blue).

Mounting points should be the same as far as I know, yes you can re use all of the signals etc.. And check with Way Motor Works for the lower grill, I think it cost as much as your new(used ) aero. Also check Outmotoring. Check your owners manual for your paint code location if I remember correctly there should be a plate with this info somewhere near the fender on the driver's side front wheel but I'm not clear on that.
