DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT IS POSSSIBLE TO FIT THE BLACK GRILLE (BONNET AND UPPER BUMPER) FROM THE AERO KIT TO MY VR COOPER WITHOUT HAVING THE ACTUAL AERO KIT FITTED ?

Yep samsi. I plan on doing this to my MINI when it arrives.

samsi · Apr 24th, 2004, 06:42 PM

yes i am certainly interested, how much would you be selling it for ?????

the upper grille is a straight swop, bolt off and bolt on, the lower grille is a little more involved, the aero grille has to be cut down to fit the standard bumper opening - its the same size and shape just a shallower opening than the aero bumper. (I fitted mine 3 weeks ago bottom grille took about 4 hours to do properly)

Check out this great 'how to' for details:http://www.bridger.us/mini/howto/MIN...ll_install.pdf .
(It's slow to open, but worth the wait)

The bonnet grille is a direct replacement

but the bumper grille is not so easy.

Hope this helps and good luck.
