Aero Kit Part 2

Anybody know where I can get those little black inserts for the aero kit that go around the lower left and right fog lamps? My MA said that it was an euro part?

That part is listed in my 2005 accessory brochure as the "fog light black out panel". The part # is 51 11 0 151 570. The list price is $79.00. $79.00 Try one of the dealers in the vendor's directory. I'm sure you can get it cheaper from them.

Call Mini of Sterling (in VA) and ask for Herb. They have the best prices on OEM items around. I paid $67 for my inserts.

$67 still sound expensive if is just a sticker?

They were included with mine... I expect them to be included with the new one (at $2750 installed they better be )

They're not included in the 'complete aero kit'

MINI of Sterling tried for two months but could not seem to order the right part number, also tried to stiff me over $100 to 'install'. There's tape on the back you peel off and stick em on. Takes 10 seconds.

They are a molded plastic. There is a rolled edge that fits in to the fog light opening. But a well cut piece of vinyl would be very very close looking.

If anyone wants, pm me and I can take a close up digital pic...

Oh, and I got them from Classic in Ohio. Was well under $79 but I forget exactly what I paid...
