hey guys.. im new to the mini2 forum im sorry if i placed my question in the wrong topic. So im ordering my MCS in a month and im thinking of installing the BMW Aero kit..

i have some questions since im not sure about some issues concerning the kit..

1.is the BMW Aero bodykit included in the MINI optional equipment.. meaning can i order my MINI to come with the kit, or do i have to install my bodykit later on..?

2.Is the MINI lowered by the bodykit..? if yes by how much pls..

You can order it from your dealer, but not directly from the factory.

The Aero kit is just a bodykit, skirts and bumpers, it doesn't lower the suspension. The front spoiler appears to be slightly lower than standard.........

thx for ur help.. i was on the official UK MINI website and it had some additional stuff besides the optional equipment and the aero bodykit was included there.. so i got a bit confused

so.. i guess if i order it with my mini my dealer is going to install it as soon as the mini comes right..?

I ordered my Mini with the areo kit and the dealership fitted it before I took delivery. The dealers do charge a couple of hundred pounds to fit the kit though!

Personally, I wouldn't order a BMW Aero kit - It wouldn't fit. Far better to order a MINI Aero kit.

isnt it a MINI aero kit by BMW..?

steve is being overly precise

the aero kit is manufactured by BMW for the Mini,
but BMW make other kits for BMW's (such as the 5-series) of course, which won't fit on a Mini for obvious reasons!

my advice would be to get ur car delivered with standard bumpers then shop around different dealers for a price on the aero kit. my dealer wanted £1500 fitted for the kit but i ended up goin to another local dealer and payin £1100 and sold the old bumpers for £200 on ebay. moneys better off in your pocket than the dealers at the end of the day. or is this jus me bein a tight jock??

definately order the aero kit once you get the car, not sure about the laws where you are but depending on how much you spend initially it may be up for a luxury car tax too, well at least thats the case here in Aus.
