Hi All,

http://www.mini2.com/gallery/persona...ery_15825.html

Thought I'd share my British Racing Green MCS pics with aero kit and fender flares sanded and painted same color. Went a step further though and rather than use those crappy stickers that come with the OEM kit, had the shop cut out holes in the bumper and used gloss black steel mesh to match front and rear vents. The stock plastic mesh is also lame in my opinion and this looks a lot beter. If you do the rear mod you have to paint the silver insulation back there black - not perfect and I am still considering inserting a flat black metal/plastic trim piece to put behind the mesh to smooth out the appearance behind the mesh.

Cheers, Ciaran.

Hello, welcome to MINI2!

Very nicely done modifications there, subtle but effective.

Thanks all - fantastic site - by far the most informative and useful - downloaded the pdf's on the install from Mini2's tech section which were very handy indeed. Susepct I'll be visiting often and looking for advice on future (under the hood) upgrades,

Cheers, C.
