Hi to all, I am looking for a cooper s at the moment and wanted one with the aero kit really, but wondered if I get one without, how much the kits sell for new/ second hand, whether they come up in pieces etc How rare they are to pick up second hand? etc

Any info much appreciated.

Which generation MINI are you talking about?

[timgti]

Im thinking of buying a 52 reg or an 03 plate one?

[Darcy]

you can get some colours for £600 from minimaniauk, theyre the american versions so have small reflectors on each corner but for that price you cant complain

Ive bought the front & rear bumpers off of Fleabay for bargains....just waiting for the skirts!!!

I payed £40 for the front bumper & £105 for the rear bumper!!! The guy selling the front didnt have a clue what it was!!!! HAHAHA

To get them painted are about £100 a bumper!!

[R99]

I paid £1035 for mine including the aero spoiler and fitting.

Pricey I know, but worth every penny for the looks alone! Also, I know its only a a set of bumpers but buying from a main dealer gives you a two year warranty. Some may say that its pointless, but so far I've had my front bumper and drivers side skirt adjusted after a random panel gap appeared, and also a new set of rear decals after the old ones went manky.

Regards,

James.

Can you send use the links to where they are on flebay - i have been looking on ebay & from breakers yards but had no joy

I want the side skirts & rear bumper pref in chilli red for my R53 Cooper S

Is it very simuluar to ebay - never used this site!!

Thnks

[I love MINI, Laura]

I think he meant ebay when he said flebay. (some use that as a nickname for ebay)

Not sure there will be links to the pages where he bought his it sounds like they were one offs at the time. Just keep looking on there and they pop up every now and then.

I think the MINIMania kit is a brilliant price but they only do a couple of colours.

eBay UK Shop - Mini Sport Spares: New Mini Products
Chilli red is £750+ postage of £20

[super c00per]

If buying on ebay you will probably be looking for years if you your looking for your colour. Best to buy any colour and get it painted yourself!!

If ordering through Mini theres a 4-6 week wait on aero bumpers!

And I rang round everywere, no where stocks them as such other than minisport who can only get a full kit.

Oh and the pre painted aero kits take even longer, but they are worth the wait, trying to match the plastic paint on the bumpers to the arches is not easy, and the paint flakes awfully easy on the non factory sprayed kit.

[timgti]

Cheers for the info guys, keep the info coming!

Looks like it might be worth holding out to get an 'S' with the kit on already from a financial point of view!

[timgti]

Has anyone on here ordered this kit from these people before (mini sport as in the link above)?

Just wondered what the service is like and if the kit is exactly what is says it is in terms of genuine and professionally sprayed etc?

As i'm looking at an electric blue car the kit is only £550, which seems pretty reasonable!

got mine from mstyle down in romford for £1050 excluding the aero kit spoiler which was £250 from BMW few years ago. Apparently at that time chili red was the only colour that was painted at the factory from Germany all the rest had to be painted when they turned up in the UK.

I would reccomend now modnmini i bet they could do a good deal for you.

Tried ModNmini as they are local to me, they wanted £895 painted.

Not a great price when Chris at Woodmans in Blackpool will supply for £850 inc VAT..... they will be on a 4-6 week lead time though as are factory painted, unless your colour is in stock somewhere.

You'd think the specialists would be able to undercut the dealers

To order you'll need your VIN and paint code to ensure colour matching
