My mini dealer just installed aero side skirts and the auxiliary gauges. i thought that the Aux gauges would nicely fill up the gap under the toggle switches. They orginally told me it would be 8 -10 weeks for the side skirts but it only took 4

. I have the problem that was described in other threads about the gap in the passengers side skirts, but nothing can be done about it.

looks good

AidenL · Jun 28th, 2004, 07:02 PM

Looks good Fabio........

How much did the gauges cost installed?

Also, can you see the gauges clearly in your normal seating position, or are they a little bit obscured from view?

Aiden - The Gauges were 248 Euros and 1 and a half hours labour(148 euros). So 396 Euros excluding vat(13.5 %). So altogether it comes to 450 Euros. Its a bit expensive, but i dont think that i could have fitted them myself.

They are a bit obscured from view,I thought that they would be easier to see.But for the battery voltage and oil temp you dont have to look at them too often. It would be different it was was a boost gauge for supercharger. i feel they make the center console more complete and they should be standard in the MCS

The skirts are 583 Euros in Vat and that includes paint. then there was one hours labour involved which cost 112Euros. So in total it came to 695 Euros

They do look great............I was thinking of them too, but the price frightened me !

Same cost for the gauges and skirts as I was quoted too, seems all dealers work off the same prices............

Its nearly impossible trying to get a discount off those guys!!!!

AidenL · Jun 28th, 2004, 09:15 PM

Tell me about it...............

Fabio · Jun 28th, 2004, 09:37 PM

They never put any door sills on the side skirts.They werent aware they said. I had told them that i wanted new ones for the new side skirts Can i order them from the garage or is there any where on the web where i can get them like the original ones???

roomey · Jun 29th, 2004, 07:12 AM

Yes, you can get the Cooper S door sills from the garage - the garage called me up to say if I wanted them on my new aero side skirts while they were fitting them.

Cheap skirts by the way mcsIRL, I was charged 820Euro fitted (including the new S sills) for mine!! And this was the cheaper option they said (the garage can order them unpainted, and then the garage paint them, or they can order them already factory painted, which is the cheaper option, or so they say).

AidenL · Jun 29th, 2004, 07:59 AM

My dealer gave me new sills with the skirts..................

Danpaddyandy · Jun 29th, 2004, 08:11 AM

The skirts look great, might have to get me a set of them too

wibbly · Jun 29th, 2004, 08:20 AM

The Skirts look Great -- I think you're looking at about £600 in the UK for them

Gauges look Great as well -- Really set the interior off as well

Two really worthwhile additions in my opinion

fergusor · Jun 29th, 2004, 08:55 AM

I had my side skirts fitted new and the gap on both sides is fine... they both fit perfectly.

Crow · Jun 29th, 2004, 09:36 AM

Those skirts look great! Looking forward to seeing them on my car when I take delivery...

BTW You want to update your sig to show the colour coding on the skirts
