I saw this pic in a review of a Works MCS on the European Car magazine website. The author (Ian Kuah - no stranger to those of you in the UK I believe...) stated that this was Mike Cooper's personal vehicle.

I love how the recess in the aero kit where the foglamps reside is blacked out (though not super obvious in this pic). Most pics I've seen of the aerokit bumper, has this area body coloured.

Does anyone know if this is a decal, or is it custom painted?

Has anyone else got this mod?

Also notice how he has the stock MCS grill on the aerokit bumper - I love it - that's what I want to do...

Thanks in advance!

I think its part of the 'works' upgrade - you'll probably find out more at www.johncooper.co.uk. But you should be able to get hold of an aero kit and do the same on yours. As for the Grille just use your existing one on the aero kit.

Neither the grill or the blacked out bits around the fogs are "exclusive" to the works upgrade.

The standard grill can be fitted ot the Aero grill, with a little work (my new car will have the full chrome grill on the Aero kit)

The blacked out section around the fogs are "stickers" that come with the Aero kit and are optional (i.e. its up to you weather or not you put them on or not) I personally prefer them without.
