Mini aero side skirts

[Attey]

Hi, I have recently put the aero kit front and rear bumper on my car and I am now looking for the side skirts does anyone know of anywhere that does them at a decent price?

Thanks Attey

look in the sponsors section for chris woodman, that or ebay

i havent used them as ebay beat them to the post but this website seems reasonable & quoted me £450 fully painted & delivered or they charge £279 delivered un painted
They take 4-5 day for delivery

www.mystylemini.co.uk - exterior styling, mini, genuine/other

Personally ebay i dont think you will have much luck as i been looking for weeks & they go for stupid money as everyone wants them

Also may be worth giving mini matt a bell as he sometimes has aero parts in put its pot luck if he has any & in your colour. I can highly recommend him. - MiniMatt - MiniMatt - BMW Mini - BMW Mini Modifications - BMW Mini Parts and Spares - BMW Mini Repairs

Hope that helps

Bought mine from MiniMatt for £270 but I've got to get them painted which will be a bout £80 me thinks!!!

i'v just bought some sideskirts off ebay for £208 with delivery then had them painted by bmw,i got some one to put them on for me but they are a lighter colour my car is pepper white i tuke my car back to bmw and they said its because the paint takes different on plastic,if any one's had the same as me please let me know,i don't no if i can live with my sideskirts being a lighter colour?

ALL my black plastic has been coded to the car-dark silver-and you can't tell the difference !!

[smalljen]

they said it only happens on light colours do you think i should take my car back and tell them to do them again

[The Eggman]

Well did they warn you before they painted them ?? Because I doubt you'd have had the job done if they did !!
I'll ask the painter that did my car for his opinion if you like ? How much did you pay BMW ?
I don't think I better tell you what mine cost !! The lot stripped, painted and refitted with all clips supplied, well less than your skirts cost.

hi they cost me £200 for them to paint them but they put the black on as well i'v got the aerokit back bumper i bought that already painted but thats the same as the car my sideskirts stick out like a sore thumb its like they are whiter then my car

[smalljen]

yes please ask the person that painted your's for me,and no they didn't say that they would be a lighter colour

Will do, my car was a trial run as the painter had never stripped/refitted all the plastic on a MCS but is a "Custom Painter" and Dave at ThinkMini was impressed with the paintwork etc.
£200 for a unwanted two tone paintwork job and just on skirts Mine £133 for the lot including stipping and fitting. OK the guy said it should have more but that's what "I quoted" Can you be fairer than that ?

[smalljen]

well what can i say and bmw as well thats why i went to them because i thought they would have the right colour match,i think i'm going to get them to do them again,thank you so much for your help.

The paint code is on the plate fitted on drivers side in engine, mine reads 871/7-dark silver.

Painter said BMW didn't do the job properly, could be a number of reasons but would need to see the car to give an opinion but suspects paint code, hope that helps.
