I am looking at getting hte Aero Kit on my new Mini. How does the kit affect the driving? Does it help with wind resistance? Is the invisisheild worth getting installed? :???:

I don't understand why anyone would want to trade the beautiful chrome grill on the MINI for that ugly black stuff!

Invisisheild is worth it!

Can't answer your questions about the aero package, maybe someone will chime in that has something worthwhile to say about it.

I have the Aero package,

The only thing it does is it makes you LOOK faster that's all.

Must have set you back the cost of an installed JCW package!
I wish I had that kind of money for a camera. As it is a Nikon D70 or Canon 10D would be a major purchase for me.
