hey,

i was just wonderin if anyone with an aero kit or with their wheel arches and side skirts painted if you get a lot of rock chips? cuz i know someone that has it painted and he gets a lot of rock chips and i dont want to do it to my coop' if im gonna get tons of rock chips.....

 

My aero front bumper has picked up quite a few chips after 12k miles. I don't know if it's a bad paint job, the material, or it's brick like aerodynamics. It just chips worse than anything else.

(complaint) Why the h*ll do they use white primer under black? idiots! (/complaint)

Despite the chips, I have no regrets about getting the aerokit.

 

I'm having the aero kit and painted arches done this week by a very high quality shop. I will let you know how it fares regrding rock chips.

 

hey DK23...
i hate to be nosey, but how much are you paying to have the kit&arches painted? i want to get an idea! thanks!

 

nfo,
The price from MINI Peabody for the complete aero kit, painted, including wheel arches, is just under $3000.

I am having my standard MCS front/rear bumpers painted, along with the wheel arches, and fitting only the side skirts from the aero kit - because the MCS looks a lot like the aero kit anyway.
That brings the price down below $2000.
