Fog Lamp Blackout surround for Aero kit question...

Hey, for those of you who have the Mini Aerokit, or at least the aero Front bumper and have that Foglamp blackout surround. How does that install ? Is it just a black decal that surrounds the foglamp? Or a piece of plastic ?
I think i may want to add these to my aero bumper, as long as its not difficult to install.

They are a thin plastic that is molded to the area with sticky tape on the back. You just peel and stick

AHH, thanks for the reply!
So i am assuming i can get these later on, and just stick them on the painted surface area?

No problem, I'm thinking of getting some myself, undecided on which ones to go with yet.

Those are nice and have a lot of options, but the OEM ones are molded into the lip of the fog surrounds and extend into the opening to completly cover the recess, the vinyl stickers don't. Just keep that in mind when your making your choice

Batrugger, thanks for the heads-up! I think i will end up getting the OEM ones instead then. I will get some stuff from AC eventually though.
Thanks again guys!

Where did u get the oem blackouts from? Cf blackouts would look hot! I'd be interested in purchasing a set if you're selling. Post pics when they're done.

I'm pretty certain that I got mine from Classic in Ohio (best prices for parts ) - give the internet parts dept a call, I'm sure they can help you

Try the dealer!
Mini lists them in thier 06-accessory catalog. I think they were around $80 for the set, but dont quote me. By now the price mightve gone up
