Cant say im keen on the black grills on the front of my mini cooper with aero kit, so im looking to get the chrome grills and install them myself. Im sure the top one is easy enough to do but ive heard the bottom one isnt quite as easy. Anyone tryed this and how hard is it? Any instruction / tips will be good. ( iknow there have been posts on this but none really say much about installing it)

*BUMP*

In the near future i'm going to mount an Aerokit on my Jetblack MCSC. Since i have the chrome exterior kit, like the blue Mini in the post above, i would like to know if anyone can give my some advise how to put the chrome grille in the bumper.

theres only one way - lots of silicone sealant in the corners - nomorenails doesnt work and this was by far the best method I found of doing the job.

Thanks for the response Minisoopercooper, looks awesome!

So there is no way to mount the chrome grille by modifying the bumper or the grille a bit with a dremel for instance?!
