Righty,

On my Cooper, i have the aero kit, which looks stunning. Anyway, ive seen people talking about the aerokit spoiler.

I have no spoiler on mine, well only what looks like the standard Cooper lip. which is cool.

Is my car missing it, or is it an optional part of the kit, or something completley seperate from the aero kit?

Id post a picture of my motor, but its very very very dark out there

(pic taken from CH54's gallery)

It seems that ou are not missing it as it is not included in the aero kit pack (or so i believe, please correct me if i'm wrong)

aero spoiler looks fab & tempted to swop myself

ooo i dont know, well mine doesnt have the aero kit spoiler then.

be interesting to see a shot from the side.

from some angels my car looks as though it needs something there, and i was tempted with a "s" spoiler, but others it doesnt. I dont know

Any pictures of a white roof would be sweet

Why wait for your birthday - I'm buying one as a New Years gift to myself!

if you already have the smaller non areo kit spolier fitted you cannot have the areo kit one put on as they are glued in place and not bolted on to do this you would have to repace the entire back pannel of the boot

Hi charlie are you sure - I did a search on this and apparently the chili spoiler is held on with two bolts and sticky tape, and others have successfully swapped from chili spoiler to Aero. Here's a thread I found:

I saw stuff like that too Max.

I think it is more of a problem when you swop to an S spoiler.... the aero one hides any marks left by the cooper spoiler as it's solid rather than with a "gap" in the middle

i want it.

tis a weird thing me thinks cos my cooper has no spolier on it but i whanted to put the cooper spoiler on and bmw dont (apparently) fit them only done in the factory and i was told that they are all glued on but was quoted £255 for fitting the areo kit one by north oxford dealer which was quite good but a little advice for any one doing a home job the glue to fix them takes 24 - 36 hours to fully dry and has to be done and left in doors until its dry incsee our lovely british weather stikes for those without a grage not advisable

I'd check out another dealer I had a cooper spoiler fitted at the dealer on my old one, no problems & they were quite happy to do it

You had me worried for a moment! I shall ring BMW after payday for a quote. I saw a silver MINI with one and it looks the business - makes a big difference.

This is the Aero spoiler on my old Cooper...........

[~Marcus~]

Nice..my mind is definitely made up now

[BrAinLesSaZn]

did u guys see the new aero kit they offer really stands out...

[aphix]

BMW offer a new aero kit?

Rob

[BrAinLesSaZn]

yeah i THINK they do since I have seen a couple mini with aero kits that look different. or they have updated the styling go on mini website and build the car and select aero at the end. see what it looks like

Ok just spoken to my dealer

They reckon that somtimes the Chili spoiler is factory fitted with two bolts and sticky tape, if this is the case it will be 3 hours labour £105

However sometimes the factory use glue as well as the bolts which means Chili spoiler will need sawing off which means paint work on the roof - 6 hours labour £210

So total cost could be £260 (ok) or £365 (a bit steep)!

Going to inspect my spoiler with my tool kit to see what fixing method I've got - let me know anyone if you think my dealer is talking rubbish...

Also considering facelift chrome grille - about £140 for all bits including fitting not sure if its worth it....hmm there's always my Egg card...
