Does look better! I did this with my last Cooper.

I also fitted the S sideskirts.

Did it on mine! Great look isn't it! Just got to get that aero kit spoiler now! Very nice! How much was it with the labour? I did mine myself but was a little worrying half way through!

Mine cost me just under £50 from ebay and I didn't have to remove my wheel. So it wasn't too bad just a bit hairy pushing solid plastic round the filler cap. The housing cracked a bit but the rubber seal was still intact so it was OK. Its just scary when you've pulled out your original and then have to force in another one! Gosh!

Looks very nice, keep leaving mine open after filling up.

Looks really smart, wouldn't mind fitting one to mine as they do make a big difference.

£105 fitted is quite steep though, is that your local dealer's charge?

We bought ours from Ebay back in September, already painted in Royal Grey. My Husband still has to fit it though. I think he's a bit nervous!!

We have heard a few horror stories! I think he's going to do it over the xmas holiday.

looks good mate!

done mine week getting the car! again ebay for £50 and half hour to fit!

it's easy to do but you just need to be careful on the choice of tools taking out the old one!

And something like a heavy duty laminated card or something similar to protect the paint!

And far easier to push out with the filler loosened off!

That looks great

I fitted one to my Indi Blue One and always thought it was one of the best exterior mods I did
