PM me if you have any offers !

Thanks folks

Get em out of my garage......i took them off at barely 1k on my car but they have a lil crease in one of the sill emblem and a small scratch on the lower most part that isnt real visable but other wise in good condition. let me know if you want them and your shipping codes to canada so i can find a price out to send em.

Note for all those doing the Skirt Conversion, its a great mod, but it's not as cheap as it looks. I swapped skirts with an S owner recently who's selling his MINI to upgrade to a 2006. I ordered clips from Classic MINI who ended up botching my order, and I had to reuse some of the slightly broken ones, and buy additional ones from my local dealer---driving down there skirtless on 2 occasions looking for the right parts that often weren't in stock.

The MCS sills are the costliest part. My local dealer wanted like $50 per MCS sill plate. This is added on to the fact the skirts can cost anywhere from $50 to $100 each depending on the dealer. You CAN remove them without damaging them by working slowly using WD40 and a plastic squeegee. Don't use a screw driver or you will gouge the soft plastic of the skirt.

So my point is, once you get the skirts, don't forget sill plates. I bought some heavy duty billet ones from Moss MINI's clearance sale for $20, but the double sticky tape on them is the worst---doesn't stick worth beans.

And then don't forget all the clips you will need.

I recently did both the MCS Gas Cap and Side Skirts mods on my Cooper and love them. Thanks to Way of Way Motorworks for supplying the MCS gas cap off his clients totalled MCS! No painting needed!

Clips needed for MCS skirts.

Top clips under the entrance cover #51-71-1-496-621 = 4 per side
Underneath are the expanding rivets #07-13-0-702-966 = I forgot how many
Big Black clip at either end #07-13-1-480-419 = i think its 2 per side.
White clip # 07-13-7-073-915 = 2 per side

This is all out of my parts catalog so i might be off on how many pieces you need.....I havent done skirts in so long so i done remember myself.

sa3dos......Are you still interested in the skirts?

You can do this with out needing these just need to be carfull not to strip them.
Also best to have all the clips you need before you start this, Did mine in about 40 minutes.
