I cant't remeber which thread i saw this MCS in but i copied the picture to try and find the grills, but i cant seem to.


Who are you?!
I'm goin nuts over here

 

It is not my Mini, but I also have the black aero grills from

http://outmotoring.com/mini_aero_grill_kit.html

Hope that is what you wish to have (a location to purchase them). No affiliation, just trying to assist.

 

I was just looking at that Aero grill earlier today. Really cleans up the front for those who don't want all the "bling"

 

I really like/enjoy my front black aero grill. It takes some time to install and get right so be aware of the installation difficulties. The top portion on the bonnet is not too difficult but the bottom portion needs some work to get it to fit right on the lower bumper. I read many of the threads on installing the black aero grills on a Mini as well as the one Gabe porvides through Outmotoring. I'd recommend reading them carefully and maybe more than once. The black aero grill is a very welcome modification to my Mini or maybe to any Mini as I like it more. It is a matter of preference.

Happy installation.....

 

Thank you guys so much, I scowered the web to find these but as you can see the picture i was dealing with wasnt the best one
I'm gonna enjoy getting this on, and I'll post some pics when shes done

 

and btw, anyone have a picture of a RG MCS with the black aero grill?

 

dont mean to take business away from businesses but i got them for real cheap (cheapest i found) at classic mini. here's the site
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=36665
i got them for about 80 including shipping.
great mod..i regret not taking my time on the lower section. i finished doing my grills in less than 2 hours.
search around and you'll find lots of pictures of your color mini.

 

yea thats about what outmotoring.com sells them for

 

also does anybody know if the grill on the bottom of the bumper is the same as the aero grill?

 

yeah its the same as the aero grill, but you have to modifiy it to make it fit onto the stock bumper cover, youre goin to need a dremmel, some black spray paint and double sided tape or epoxy to make the lower grill stay on the bumper cover, it should take you no more than 2 hrs. to do the whole mod

 

Don't know what they charge, but I believe Detroit Tuned also sells these.

Edit - $88

 

Here are the aero grills in my MCS




It's a lot more clear on Bar10Girl's Pepper White

 

The blue car in the first post is nice but if you look at the "middle" grille it was not modified. If you look closely you can tell it is not flush with the bumper. I did this mod and ended up not liking it much so bought just the front aero bumper.

 

that is one GORGEOUS MCS, I love it

I was going through the instructions again and Im pretty sure i get it, but after i actually get the grills im gonna be looking for someone to come to my house and do this with me, im to scared to tdo it alone

oh i did notice, i actually wasnt sure if that was how it was supposed to look, it was what made me kinda shakey on the idea. But im glad to know that it will be flush

 

anyone know what front lip that is on the black car?

looks really neat

GT

 

its a Strabentech lip, there is a vendor/group buy going on right now if im not mistaken

 

That's correct!

 

It's no fair for Richard to post his JB/JB he's a detail guru and always makes a car in a hard color look good. Here's mine with the aero setup on
a non-aero bumper too:





Ignore the dubs, unless you are a fan of them too like me!

 

I am!


Where can I get just the lower plastic duck bill and side skirts from the Aero Kit?

Haha your's looks awesome!!! Thanks!! I'm actually going to have my bonnet repainted and will install my mods soon there after--Ociari cowl scoops and soon to have Aero side skirts. These pix were taken before I had my JCW carbon fiber mirror caps too.


Duck Bill?? As in Strassentech Lip??

For the Aero Kit side skirts, try Classic MINI in Ohio. 2 weeks ago I ordered them prepainted--I was told 4 to 6 weeks before they ship--NAM price $259.20 each.

OH YEA, lol the other two cars in the house are both Vdubs, (01 Golf 1.8T and an 03 Passat wagon for the parents daily drivers)

 

I was a dubber before a Mini Enthuisist. 91 VW fox project in the driveway.

 

speakin of dubs, anybody know where I could get a five speed VW manual transmission rebuilt?

 

Not much of a group buy . They are only giving free shipping on the parts. These are very!! expensive, plastic $399., Carbon fiber $599. . Does look nice though. OctaneGuy which one do you have? If the plastic one does it look nice? I know the Carbon fiber one would be sweet looking. I also had a dub. 81 Scirroco Modded, was very nice. But not nearly as nice as a Mini .
