Aero side skirts

I have a laser blue MCS and am looking to buy Aero side skirts. Do you think they'll look ok with the standard back/front bumpers? Not sure I like the ones in the Aero kit.

How much should I be looking to pay to have them painted and fitted at my dealers?
Is it worth shopping about?

Hi,

Look in the MINI2 group buy section. Woodmans at blackpool have them for 325 unpainted for painting and fiting its 635. Don't know if they can get the skirts already painted from BMW but they can get the whole kit painted now!!

Don't think you'll have much luck beating woodmans it took me 6 phone calls to my local dealer to get them down to the same price as woodmans for the JCW carbon fibre mirror caps...............but no harm in trying

Well spotted, I had looked at those pictures and not noticed. I personally don't like the rear JCW bumper and had wondered if it would look okay, I suppose I've answered my own question.

I must admitt to not being sure about the rear bumper myself, but still orederd the full kit. I figure that as you get the rear bumper back if I don't like it I can always swap it.

118, your car looks great!

I dont like the bumpers either and asked my dealer here in the US about just getting the skirts. I was quoted $1100 for the skirts, unpainted and not fitted.
