Aero Trim

what is the primary difference of the aero kit trim (other than the black plastic grille)? is it wider and lower?

A little lower in the front and different styling as well; it's a more pronounced and sharper leading edge. The sides are lower and come down as low as the jacking points, about an inch as I remember. Not sure about the rear.

you can get a lot of the effect by adding the aero grill to an otherwise stock MINI. Sure, it's not the same, but a lot of folks like it! (myself included)

hit my info page and you'll see what the aero kit looks like from the front.

imho, a must have for IB and other darker color MC/MCS's.

How about a side by side comparo?

Here's my old MC... yes these are the same car.





On my MCS I just did the grilles and side skirts.
