damn u getting blue, i am not giving u advice no more :smile:

if u do get the aero kit, get it from them, and paint it outside. its about 1200 for the whole kit

i got the aero grilles on mine, check my sig

iwill order the aero bumper separate ...so i thought..but i found out the hamann diffusers i want only works with stock bumper..so i am keeping it..

i dont want the rear part..i dont like it

check out the hamann one

the aero kit is nice but I hesitate to spend that much money on something that doesn't make the car go faster. :smile:

It really helps to visit the dealership and take a look at the cars in person. Photographs really can't get across how great the colors are, and they change with the light.

Also, if I got another MCS, I'd get a totally stripped-down no options base model except for sport, sunroof, H/K and then add on the JCW or Randy's package.

Yep! The car already looks super-fantastic so ... more horsepower! Not that I ever really use it. I just love feeling torque.
