Hi, I ordered the aero side skirts few weeks ago. Very excited they came in today. However, where I ordered forgot to ship the two little black plastic "grill" pieces go at the end of the skirts (I know they are sold separately and I did order them).

So, do you think I should go ahead and install without those pieces (meaning leaving the holes open) and get a refund, OR wait for them to be shipped then install?

Any one did not install those "grills" on your aero? Any pics?

Thanks.

If you do not install the little grills you will notice the gap everyday......... I would wait for the little grills to arrive. I think it would look unfinished without them.

definitely wait untill you get the grills they look great and are meant to be there to finish the job.i know it must be hard to resist putting them on but have patience my freind

you,ll be glad you did

and if you do leave them off you,ll spend all your time picking leaves and bits of hedgehog and things out of the vent

A tad bit off topic here, but I wouldnt mind putting some sort of spot or high intensity light behind the grill. it would be interesting to see how it would look. I dont mean neon or coloured light just a plaing xenon or white looking light.

You can fit the skirts now and the grills later, it has been done a couple of times by different people on here

Thanks guys for your replies.

I called the local Mini dealer this morning to see if they have any in stock, there was. So, I went to the local dealer, picked them up and installed already.

Yes, agree that the grills give a nice touch to the skirts, better looking than just a hole there.
