I like it very much.

I have a black Cooper and wouldn't like the aerokit on mine mainly because of the black (lack of chrome). I actually think it looks cool on other people's cars, it's just not for me. Is the chrome aero grill custom, or is it now available that way as an option?

It looks very nice and unique, but I personally still prefer my "All" chrome front MCS grille.

Awesome!!

I really like that Scooby. I have a Non S Cooper in Blk/Blk and have always liked my chrome grill. This would looks even better IMO. How did you do it?

I love it!

Scooby,

Where did you get the mesh in the scoop ? I love it, it would look great with my mesh M7 ultimate lower grill

Is it aftermarket or is it from MINI (and if so, what's the part #)

Thanks!

Hey Xman

Its just cut from a standard sheet of mesh and then literally held in place with some rubber sealant.

It does get dirty and is hard to clean but im just gonna replace it with another in the summer so the shine is

Whats the mesh M7 grille = you have any pics?
