Harvey had some nice Xmas pressies this year - A new Aero Grille, a cooper S front bumper and new Aero side scuttles. Surgery was performed yesterday and finished off today - see pics below:

Before going under the knife:

Undergoing surgery:

In the recovery room:

Fully completed:

Sidescuttles:

I'm very pleased with the way he looks now - it really suits the PW and I'm very pleased it all fitted ok and to plan (fortunately the Aero grille surround fitted the S bumper Elaine bought me - it doesn't fit any other variant bumper!!). Many thank for the pressies and to David who helped out with the surgery

Looking good!!

Im considering that grille for the Dooper, but i'd rather have the Chrome surround (like the Cooper S grille)

Im guessing that isnt possible?

Hickster · Dec 30th, 2007, 05:21 PM

No, I don't believe the chrome surround will fit the Aero Grille as the clips seem to be in different places. In any case, if you want either the Aero or cooper S style grille, you need the cooper S bumper as the angles at each end of the bottom surround are much sharper than they are on the D, the Cooper and the One.

Hmm back to the drawing board then

Might have to buy a couple of grilles to play with

The extra parts do really suit the PW!!

JHorwitz · Jan 9th, 2008, 07:22 PM

am i right in saying that the aero kit grille, seems to be, exactly the same as the chrome one on the S, just with a black surround?

Not quite - the honeycombe pattern is slightly different between the two.
