I think I like Swarley's better. 
Since a couple people asked why my car looks different...
Here's a list of the body modifications that were executed when the dealer's body shop installed the factory "Aero Kit":
1.) Removed grill in front bumper.
2.) Removed turn signal/running lights in front bumper.
3.) Installed my own turn signals near the front fog lights.
4.) Removed the reflector/lights from the front & rear black wheel arches (UK cars don't have the reflectors so why should I have them?).
5.) "Blacked-Out" chrome trim that seperates the red body & windows so it matches the black rain gutter trim.
6.) Removed all stickers & emblems except the "Mini" emblems on the hood & hatch.
7.) Replaced the chrome gas cap with a body colored door from the base model Mini Cooper.
8.) Removed the rear spoiler.
9.) Painted the rear bumper ducts black instead of using the factory sticker that was supposed to look like a mesh grille (It was silver with black dots on it?!?).
10.) Installed an extra reverse light where a factory plug was located (2002- 2004 Minis mounted the reverse light in this location & 2005-2006 Minis incorporated the reverse light into the tail lights then filled in the hole with a black mesh plug).
