Did you ever think about/look at doing the Aero Kit after the fact?
Yes I have and Outmotoring.com has the one I want.
The problem is that I can't find anyone that will guarantee that they can match the Pure Silver paint.
Apparently Pure Silver is really hard to match, so my other option is to paint the aero kit a contrasting color like gray or black.
The official last of the supercharged MINIs does not come with an aero kit, and the one you are showing does not have the special bonnet stripes or the badges.
I haven't seen one with the bonnet stripes or badges. Does yours have them? It looks like about half of the dealers I have talked to have put an Aerokit on it.
Is this one? At the PhillyMINI meet in the beginning of August, the local dealer, Mainline MINI, brought out some new cars join us on the run, including this as well as a couple of new JCW Clubmans. This Sidewalk he told me was one of last of the batch, and he told me they all came with the JCW package.

Sorry for the hijack -- but come to Charlotte: i'd be amazed if Import Body & Paint can't help you out . . . call them up.
