That looks a huuge improvement mate!

The S grill ties in mintily with your wheels.. and for some reason it makes the lower grill stand out more too

Lovin the Cooper badge, finishes it off well, looks kinda retro!

K&N Induction on Ebay

Lovely mods... like the idea of a Cooper badge on the front... least then people know what it is from the front as well as the back... for those "none" MINI people!

deanquartermaine · Dec 18th, 2007, 12:07 PM

Looking good Matt

MAKE MY DAY · Jan 4th, 2008, 11:23 PM

Really love the front Matt !!

Matts Mini Adventure · Jan 5th, 2008, 07:25 AM

thanks guys!!!!

all it needs now is lowering but i'm going to wait till i have the right sized tyres on.

fingers crossed i should get my sunroof vinyl done (design below) and then i'm going to be after a back box

then its either aero kit or get the black trim sprayed depending on what back box i go for coz i'd rather not cut in to the aero kit.

jordangpboy · Jan 5th, 2008, 04:57 PM

Is that the aero grille with chrome surrounds? Looking good mate!
