I have search here, and the web, can't find any pictures of a pepper white MCS with aero, Does anybody have a PW MCS with the aero Kit yet? or will I be the first?

Entirely white! More pics at that MINI2 site. This is an MC not MCS.


Park gently in your white garage.
Do they make white motor oil?

I guess it might look good if the grill wasn't white.

looks a little too plastic for my taste...
i think all it needs is a black grill and black wheels!
that would be the best looking ride...until i get my replacement mini!

I’d need to see an MCS, but I’ve seen pictures of PW MCS without the aero and it looks awesome. To me this looks not so good. I’m not fond of the white grills on white at all.

To me it looks like a MINI Ice Cream car.

IMO that looks like crap, like they took it in for one of those cheap paint jobs at Mako or something.

What a car!!! All white, even the grilles. I'm surprise it didn't have white wheels to go with the all white theme.

I appreciate these photos so much. I was told on my Aero Kit that there is No tow hook cover for the front grill. I hardly believed them. Yet every photo that I've found of an Aero Kit shows the tow hook spot in the front. and so does this one! So I guess it's true! Thanks for the photos!

and as for the total Pepper White look, I guess it's not for me. I like the contrasting colors associated with the MINI look. The chrome grills and bumpers of the MINI Cooper against the paint color is lovely. The black trims that accent the colors of the paint look good to me too. The black grills of the Aero Kit, accent the front grill look that is the MINI look. I think it has too much white for me!

This may be the only MINI I've ever seen that didn't look good to me.

Looks like someone put masking tape on the grilles. Definitely not for me.

Reminds me of the first Matrix movie when the close up Neo's mouth.

It actually looks unfinished. It looks almost as if the car has been primered and ready for the REAL paint. I don't like the grill at all being body colored. Oh well.

There is no contrast anywhere! The styling of the car has been "muted".

I finally got a good photo of the pepper white/aero kit car I wanted to post here. It’s been a while, but it still may help. This is my second favorite color combo right now.
