Aero Side Skirts

[Tweedbean]

I've managed to buy a single side skirt from £85 on ebay, is they're anything I should look out for when I collect to tell if it is genuine and has all the right bits? Its sprayed dark silver and is unused. Is that a bargain for a single skirt.

I thought I could then buy a single one from Mini!

Is there only one type of side skirt for a 1st gen mini e.g no difference between one for a cooper and cooper s?

Well, I bought both skirts painted brand new & delivered for £210, but that was an absolute bargain by anyones standards. I think you normally can get them for about £300 painted from Mini specialists if you look around.

I could be wrong but I reckon the other one will cost you about 180 fromBMW + painting of both (or one) skirt is gonna be £50/100 so that means your paying £350-400 for everything? You can get whole areo kits for £550ish in certain colours (albeit with the amercian side markers) on ebay.

Unless your gonna paint them yourself & save that way?

£85 is cheap for one but getting the other brand new may cancel out the saving?

Anyway, you need the long plates that attach the skirt to the car underneath and the clips that attach them together & the skirts along the side of the car.

Hope this helps!

After having a conversation with the seller I decided not to buy as something didn't seem right. They wouldn't supply pictures and they kept saying it cost them £250 plus vat from Mini which is a lot higher than what I was quoted from BMW. Im going to keep my eye out for a bargain aero kit, even if its just the front bumper or side skirts.

hi, i know it doesnt really matter now, just wanted to add though that if you bought some that wern't genuine it should be really obvious cos they would be made from fibre glass and wouldnt have proper attachments to fit them to your car

How many parts are their per aero skirt?

1. Actual dark silver spray skirt
2. Black piece that goes underneath

Are there any other parts if im buying used skirts that need to make sure that I have?
