Hi guys. I'm considering buying the Aero Kit soon and some new OEM Alloys, either the R90's or the R105's and I'd like to finish off the look with some painted arches. My One is a Black II so it can be hard to find stuff for it, but I want to know where the cheapest place to paint arches is and how many pieces need painting/replacing.

Also if anyone's done it (to ANY colour mini) could you share some pics please?

Cheers, Sam

That looks excellent noza! How much did it cost you? Also with the aero kit does the black carry on on the underside, or is it literally just arches that will be replaced?

thanks! it cost me £860, i know its a little expensive but if u log onto their website autofashion.co.uk they tell you the whole process and it just gives u peace of mind IMO. They actually take your old arches in exchange and put new ones on already sprayed before u arrive to save time. If u have the areo kit they actually take off the front, rear bumper and side skirts respray them entirely including underneath and put them back on. They also re-align the front bumper because its not very straight/in line when fitted by dealer so all in all they do a very good job!
