Ok, so I have the Front Aero Bumper only and I am going to be purchasing the aero skirts next. I am also planning on painting the arches. But, are the arches that are attached to the aero kit front bumper removable? I obviously could not sacrifice driving my car for two days while waiting for the bumper to be repainted .

 

They're not removable...

I found out because I wanted to use UK lower arches (they don't have reflectors/running lights).

I had to buy UK front & rear bumpers because the arches are molded into the aero kit bumpers

 

Well that's certainly a bummer :-( .

 

You can drive the car without a bumper, you just lose turn signals up front, no biggie.

i drove w/out a rear for over a week before.[

 

i drove for a few hundred miles with no bumper... no biggie... wait till the weather is clear. and get ready to pick a few extra bugs outada radiator. a nice big "under construction" will make it more aesthetically pleasing. good luck.

 

Samtrak i just noticed that you dont have a lower section to your grill on your bumper. Did you have a bodyshop do that or is there a bumper in production like that?

 

thanks for noticing... this is a custom one-off peice. its the ONLY MINI sporting this mod, and its kind of my "signature"
