I've done some searches and still couldn't find any pics/posts about putting up only the aero side skirts leaving their original front and rear bumpers (with/without chrome bumpers) on coopers. Wonder if it would look weird/cool?

I've seen a few cars like this(I don't have any pictures).I think it looks great.I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Minty · Mar 16th, 2003, 03:00 PM

it looks fine with just the side skirts done. i have seen alot of cars with just the aero side skirts.

I think they look more like cooper 's' skirts to me.

Damo · Mar 16th, 2003, 10:25 PM

I've seen a few Cooper S's with them and they look cool, but the Cooper S benefits from having paint lower, at least they look lower, down its bumpers. The Cooper on the other hand has a larger lip. With the Aero side skirts being body coloured they may look a little weird on a Cooper. I believe Monsta did a photoshop and it it just looked uneven.

Yeah I did this a while ago, can't find the thread though

Anyway, like Damo says the Cooper has a higher rear bumper and it looks funny. You'd need the rear bumper from the aero pack to make it work on the Cooper I reckon...

Do I need to have a speech ready?

mikkol · Mar 24th, 2003, 02:43 AM

Since there are no actual photos of it, finally I have the time to make one w/ Photoshop

Before

After

What do you think?

PS. the original photo belongs to someone else and I forgot where I got it already.

nfo · Mar 24th, 2003, 02:52 AM

i like em!
they look better than the S side skirts!

Minielium · Mar 24th, 2003, 05:03 PM

Hmm not keen, I think it would look good with just the rear valance done from the aero kit and nothing else on a cooper?

It looks good from the fron but its the rear shot that may look odd.

Yoda · Aug 23rd, 2003, 03:54 AM

With The Aero Skirt on, can the front mudflaps be installed as normal Skirt?

jasonfields007 · Aug 24th, 2003, 01:37 PM
