(however just out on interest, i presume that the rear part of the kit is alterted as the diesel's tail pipe does not stick out like the petrols)

For the aerokit, check out the group buys section and look for Chris at woodmans

Thanks for pointing that out! Its a good deal, but I would have find somebody to fit it, so maybe in the new year when I have some spare cash, in debt to my parents for the car and cant imagine they would be pleased it I asked to borrow yet more money!

However I might stretch to the grille's think they look pretty cool, allthough not too sure what they would look like on an all black car, because I would obviously loose the existing chrome affair.

What do others think?

Cheers dude, likewise Once you've popped the bonnet open the side grills just push/pop out from their front end and then slide out from the back.. really easy job... and the lenses then just twist off/on the grilles.

Thanks! Well I think it sounds like a job even I could manage!

Where did you get those lenses from and how much? Im still not sure whether to go for the lohen silver grille and clear lense combo or just a blackend lense!

Mmm silver grilles with clear lenses would go well with your R99's I think

For the stealthy look I bought my lenses from mybeautifulmini, only £15.99

Thanks for the offer will bear it in mind if I do decide to buy one, allthough to be honest it wont be for a while!

As a side note, are just the aero grilles a difficult thing to fit, noticed some designed for ONE's and Coopers on the Lohen site.

I believe the grilles need to be modified to fit standard bumpers. As you have already spotted Lohen sell them with the mods already done. I am not aware of anywhere else that sells them like that.
