I’m placing my order tomorrow with Tom Bush Mini of Jacksonville, FL over the phone and I wanted to see if anyone has had luck with what I am trying to do...
I am getting the Aero kit, but I would like to keep the factory “S” Grill on my MCS. Has anyone gone through the trouble of trying to get the dealer to do this or just change the grills out them self. I realize the very bottom grilll is unique in size to the new bumper, but I would like to retain the original grills on the top two openings.

Thanks,

Don't like the aero grills, eh? That's too bad. I'm sure they can leave the upper grill in, and I'm also pretty sure about the lower grille. You shouldn't have any problems, it would actually make the mounting easier.

Hi
Does anybody have any instructions on how to fit the original mcs grill to the aero front bumper. I have the aero front bumper on order and i want to have the instructions for my dealer so that they can install it. They dont seem to keen on the idea

Thanks
Fabio
