I'm intersted in putting these on my Cooper. Any idea on how much they are? I've heard they maybe fairly reasonable??? and how do you fit them?? Are they easy to fit??? Many thanks.

Guess you got your answer then (fitting guides in the FAQ and DIY section).

Try talking to your dealer to see if you can get some off an S with an Aero kit ordered, might be lucky and get them very cheap (free) as otherwise they're supposed to bin the parts.

Or find out where their bin is.

mine cost me 25 quid from ebay brand new and removed old ones and fitted them myself in about 45 mins!

may need ne plastic clips because some break when u pull the old skirts off but if you are careful you can use the old ones which i did! i didnt have to buy anymore new clips

good luck

not 100pc sure, but speak to jpsmini, he has a one which he's put the cooper s stuff on (jp, if you're reading this, i think i should probably start getting commission from you soon...

)

Do it! The guide on here is how is great, can't remember cost (dealer did me a deal

) or how long, but i ended up buying more of the sill plates as they came off & curled up & wouldn't go flat again

looks much better once you've done it

I got mine for £40 off ebay - but I chickened out of doing it myself and handed it over to BMW who charged me £90 but that also included taking the tyres off my 5-stars and fitting my X-lites. Need to get rid of my Cooper S sill plates as my MINI is proud to be a Cooper!

Shame they didn't swap the plates over, we did that on my old Cooper and my brother in laws, makes it all the more fitting on a Cooper.

They said the old plates were ruined once they had taken them off and couldn't be re-used, but I know from the step by step that you can re-use them if you are careful!

Will order some when it goes in for its next modification (Aero spoiler)

I guess that's the problem there, careful removal of old parts and car dealership don't always go hand in hand.
