Aerodynamic side skirts?.

Does anyone know if they are aerodynamic or just cosmetic?.

I think they are the best looking part of the Aerodynamic kit. You can order them painted in whatever body colour now, straight from the factory. Takes between 5-6 weeks.

They do look good!

Has anyone had them fitted to a Cooper and kept the stock bumpers. I know lots of S owners have done it, but what about Cooper owners.

I beleive Monsta did a photoshop and it loked odd, wondering if the real thing would look better?

Sorry, mine will be fitted to an S when they arrive. I'm putting my S side skirts onto my girlfiends Cooper. I think you right about them not quite looking right on a Cooper, but the S side skirts look great on a Cooper.

Have to say the S skirts look good but whats so wrong with the Coopers! Can't see the point myself! Althought the Aero skirts are expensive! But could fit them myself. Besides If I ever do get an S its haveing EVERYTHING, inclusing the aero kit! Cos I'll have it a VERY long time! (till I can afford a ferrari )
