....but not for long. Although as odd as I thought it may look, I think it still looks ace. In fact as mikey says. I doub I'll have another MINI without em, weather I have rest of kit or not.

Rear Bumper was fitted this evening, after much swearing. In frustration the right rear arch came slightly off, to reveal a screw! Soon as that was undone it was easy enough. Although I recomend removing the rear wheels if you ever remove the rear bumper, much easier to access the screw points.

As for the sideskirts Mikeythemini did a sterling job of helping me fit them.

Okay maybe not, its all lies, mikey did a preety crap job of helping me fit the sideskirts. Preety diabolical job. Not like him at all.

What he did do, was a sterling job of fitting the sideskirts all by himself, while I watched, cringed (and eventually smiled) and pretended to help but probably hindered!

He also did a top job of re fitting all my stereo and cradle for my phone.

So Thanks Mikey, your a star! Enjoy the beers!

Maybe you should do an faq on bumper removal as you are now the expert

You comin karting seeing as you went for the cheap hands free option

dansmini · Dec 21st, 2003, 02:03 PM

Looks very nice! I like 'em!

Root Ginger · Dec 21st, 2003, 02:26 PM

How much just for the Skirts then? Looks good and a bit better than just adding the S skirts too!

obehave · Dec 21st, 2003, 03:02 PM

Looks very good.
I've thought about just the side skirts before.

I think the suggestion to do a FAQ is a good one.
Especially since I'll have to remove mine sometime in the near future to repair some damage.

jre7star · Dec 21st, 2003, 03:47 PM

so are u gonna get the front bumper aswell?

Damo · Dec 21st, 2003, 06:49 PM

Well the full kit is now fitted.

Unfortunately, due to time restrictions, I had to go with the Aero Kit grill rather than keep the chrome

And as I didn't want to spend Xmas with a mismatching grill, it all got changed. To change it to a Chrome grill will be a pain to, as certain sections of the Front grill took a lot of effort going on and I don't fancy taking it off again!

I'm crap at FAQ, and I've already given how to remove the rear bumper on a differant thread. If someone is willing to "make" the FAQ I'll happily help reiterate what I put in better english.
