The Factory Aero kit in the US does NOT come with body colored arches. Most of the time, if our customers want them, the body shop will sand and paint the flares to match the body color.

Ask your dealer if there is an extra charge for that.

The aurokit in the UK does not come with colour coded arches either - I am sure I have seen quotes on here where people paid about £400 to have that done.

Incidentally how much is it costing you to have your aerokit fitted as my MINI dealer have quoted me £1330 for the full kit to be fitted to my MOC

I paid £1100 inc VAT & fitting for my aero-kit.
I already had the aero-spoiler which I had fitted a couple of
years ago for about £200.

The Areo kit does not come all colour key'd up.

And most BMW dealerships won't do it.

The paint that they are contracted to use won't stick to the plastic very well. As the plastic flex's, the paint can crack.

Some BMW dealerships will use a different ploymer based primer to stop this happening.
You will just have to speak to them and see if they can do it.

I am having to take mine to an external company, cause my dealer won't do it, but they said they would fit all the parts for me when I'd got it painted.
