Do It Yer Selfers - Advice on Aero Kit Install
I purchased the OEM Aero Kit for my 06 Cooper S and I'm getting it painted professionally. I'm also getting the wheel arches painted at the same time. However, I'm doing all the remove/install myself. I'm looking for advice on the removal/installation process. Anyone out there done this themselves? Can you provide me with some words of wisdom? Any help is much appreciated.

It's easy.
The hardest are the the side skirts.
The front bumper has two bolts on the top (need to pop up the bonnet to access). It also has a few bolts underneath (get on your back and look on the bottom). Finally, it has two in each wheel well. After that, it should pull off. Make sure to unplug the turn signal wiring harnesss. Also, take note of the temperature sensor positioning as that needs to be removed too.
For the rear bumper, it is similar, just a few bolts that need to be removed (nothing complicated. I figured it out without instructions, so if you are somewhat "DIY" inclined, you should be good ). I can give you more detailed instructions later, but right now I have to run out.

did you use that rear bumper cover bracket on yours? my car came
with aerokit pre-installed but didnt come with that bracket...um 4yrs ago.
as you can tell, i had no issues without it but just wondering.

I have it sitting on my desk actually because when I misplaced it when I was installing the bumper, and then happened to come across the hardware for it. I have not gotten around to installing it yet...maybe I will eventually though, .
