Just wondered anyone ordering a new mini with aero kit, is it possible to get the originall bumpers/skirts back from the dealers,as you are basically paying for the originals then the dealer for the aero kit?

As far as im aware you get everything they take off back in your hand! like you said you have paid for it, so its yours no matter what extra's you get after production!

Thats why there's always bumpers etc for sale on Ebay!

I have an aero kit ordered for when my car comes...and I confirmed that I get all the bits they take off... which will be going straight on Ebay.

Anyone any idea on how much they go for ?

Thanks Scott
That will be another set on slebay then I'm guessing about £100-£150

Just had JCW Aero kit fitted to my 3 week old S and I arranged to pick up the old bumpers and skirts but I needed a Transit to fit them all in as when they are in their boxes they are huge.
By the way the kit is spot on with that little bit extra attitude.

well u are lucky...my dealer "forgot" that I was wanting mine, they are slightly scratched ! So probably sell cheaper, or keep in the loft just incase I have an accident. Not that impressed.

Though being dark silver and that colour not being available on coopers I think if anyone wants them they will have to re-spray anyway, probably restricts the amount of people that will be interested also.

Well you paid for them even tho there not on the car you still have the right to have them in new condition!

Forgetting that you want them in my eyes is B*ll*cks, every person that does the change at the dealers gets them back so they will be fully aware that you want them!

Id get them repaired as if you do put them back on then you are putting scratched ones on and thats not right!

But then its your decision....

I ordered the hypersport package - aero kit is terrific ONLY if you get the dealer to paint the black wheel arches - otherwise it looks horrid from the side.

Had another look at them..not actually scratches, just the dirt and crap on top of paint that made them look that way. Think I'll be putting in my loft at the weekend, less chance of them getting damaged there than kicking around in my garage..
