Aero Kit from Minisport is it a USA kit

Hey, i am nearly decided that i want the AERO kit for my MCS, i have the S-lite wheels on it, and am hoping they will look ok with Aero kit

Anyway i keep seeing he one advertised by minisport for £695, the only thinkg is it has the US style Reflectors on it ( they say GP style) but i think its the US version. Can anyone confirm if these are good kits, even better has anyone actually bought one, and ok with the reflectors.

i was gonna get them to fit it too as ii have no where to store the bumpers and don't really want my old bumpers, just want to keep the standard sideskirts as i can sell them on. Plus they can sort my exhaust to fit at the same time. Or do i go for the one from BMW and pay tthe extra.

Help please, heres the link

Hi

These are the proper mini bumpers, but i believe they are the us ones as the bumpers come with the reflectors (you can convert them to running lights with a cheap kit from newministuff.com).

I got a kit from them about 3 weeks ago and got excellent service from them.

Delivered really quickly, all in the bmw packaging, and everything complete and in perfect condition.

Hope this helps

Pete

i dont rate minisport much myself.

The kit is a usa kit but will fit just as good.

the only difference is the reflectors. If you like the reflectors then go for it, if u dont lkie them then dont as they will probably annoy you over time

Hi

Helped a mate of mine to fit one of these kits about a month ago,makes a hell of a difference to the look of his car.
Was impressed with the quality took most of the day to fit,only problem was the kit didn't come with instructions so best thing is to do a search on here sure there on here somewhere.
As for the reflectors think they look good.

Only fitted the rear bumper and bonnet grille at the moment due to lack of time.. Along with a cooper s fuel cap and clear lights to my pure silver cooper. Really pleased with the results and fitting is easy if you take your time. There is info on the forum to help, and a haynes manual is invaluable.

Will post pics when done.

I got the black 2 kit from mini sport, packing was good and delivery was good to, did not realise that they were USA versions like but they look the part. Hope this helps anyone as getting a good deal seems to be important as MINI dealers like to overcharge and even more so on fitting.
