I think that the white/metal looking area at the bottom of the aero kit is just a stick-on decal (which some people miss out).

On a red MINI, I think the kit might look better with the black edges (and wheel arches) NOT painted.

Yup - that is our JCW signature chrome badge that we sell - not cheap, but very nice. Love that GTi in the background as well as the Red Cooper (of course). Nice wheels.

The decal on the side of my MINI "LTL YELO" was my design (if you could call it design!) I made about 20 sets in all the MINI colors, they cost me about $3 each. I was going to sell them for around $8 a set of two but had no success so I gave them all away at the So Cal fun drive around the San Diego area. Ron.

Well - if you know anything about importing - we pay a lot of money and duties to get these here from the UK and it is a special kind of badge. I have sold many of these to people who want to make their Mini stand out - and quite possibly to this guy's car in this picture.

Good luck on finding your grille.

Is that an old Karmann Ghia? I'm not sure of the year, but I'm thinking late 50's, early 60's...
