Aero Kit grill

[mgemie]

I’ve always wanted to fit the upper & lower grill that comes with the Aero kit - the black mesh-type. Does anyone out there know if its possible to buy the two parts separately from the aero kit AND fit to a MINI without the aero kit?

if so then where can i buy said parts?? What kinda prices are we talking?

Yes to both questions. Just contact your dealer to get them in.

Youll have to check the prices - I dont know what they'd be in pounds. Plenty of people here from UK with the aero kit, someone will be able to tell you.

i have the grill for sale as i didnt fit it to my cooper aero kit. left the chrome on. The lower part is on my kit but will be comin off very shortly if you want em.

I am also going to buy the Aero grille tomorrow, was just wondering if its the kind of thing the dealer usually has in stock or would it have to be ordered in?

[KJ_daGreenMini]

usually ordered in, but they may have some lying around if people have specifically asked for the chrome grill to be kept on the car.

KJ, is the grille as new or have you had to cut it to fit it to your car? If it is as new and it fits a MCS, PM me how much you want for it

Cheers,
Richard.

the grill doesnt need cutting or anything, the top half is brand new, the lower half has been on the car but is in perfect condition. i dont know how much it retails for but i'd prolly take about £30

I tried fitting this to my MCS but the lower part does not fit on the standard MCS bumper!! it would need cutting down and bonding on as none of the clips line up!!

This is a nice mod to do, see previous threads on the subject. The top half is straightforward if you're vaguely DIY proficient, I haven't sorted the bottom half yet because my Dremel is still MIA...

The lower grill needs to be fitted but it's not as hard as it seems...

The best way to do it is to take your time (around 4-6 hours) and be patient! I did it with a friend and it was pretty easy but it's quite long. It requires custom fitting. The result is worth it!

Thinking about picking up an aero grille today. Could anybody give approximate prices in dollars?

[DarkMiniCooperS]

As fair as I remenber, I paid 90.00$canadian for the upper grill and 50.00$canadian for the lower one...

I think it should cost you more than 100$US to get those 2 parts...

Post pics of the grills on your car!

In the 2004 MINI Motoring Accessories booklet, it lists the grilles as follows:

BONNET GRILLE - BLACK $51.25

FRONT BUMPER GRILLE - BLACK (TOP) $37.25

I'm thinking of just ordering from the dealer as well. Although, there is a note next to the FRONT BUMPER GRILLE saying that it requires Aero Kit front apron. I wonder if this means that you can only order it if you order the front apron.... anyone know?

[DarkMiniCooperS]

My dealer in Montreal told me the same when I ordered mines... He was saying that it could only be fitted on the aero front bumper....

Just tell him not to worry, you'll make it fit!

As for the price quotes you got, it looks good... in the average prices I guess...

Now go order it!

KJ, you have PM
