Okay.. So I know this isnt the JCW kit... but I pretty much fell in love with it when I saw it. Theres a local lazer blue cooper S with it and now I've seen this car in red. Please tell me I can get it through mini and it fits like a glove

 

Isn't it the factory kit?

EDIT: Just looked on the MINI site and it is the factory kit.

 

That is the factory aero kit. I have it on my car. Check my gallery for lots of pics.

 

yupp

 

Yep. I have it on my CR/B MCS and love it! See link in my sig for pics.

 

I wonder why MINI makes 2 body kits for the car (I know one is factory and one is a dealer install option but that's not the answer)?

To me the factory kit is a little neater more conservative look and the JCW is a little more aggressive looking. I like them both thought prefer the JCW by a small margin.

 

My JCW with the factory aero kit...

 

spinned.. my god that looks awesome. Are you sitting a little lower than stock?

Can I order this aero kit after the fact? So it's a non-jcw aero kit?

thanks again guys

 

It also uses different grilles and front grille surround, and I would assume some mounting stuff??

It also comes with giant plastic underbody panels, but they are probably not necessary for any type of retrofit

dunno if it can be ordered, but i asssume it could

 

Well the big difference now is that the Factory Installed Aero Kits are Body Color.

A Dealer kit would be standard 'fender-skirt' black as well as not have the underbody panels installed.

You could have a quality Body Shop Finish the Kit 'Body-Color' for you.

 

I think after 09 you get painted arches regardless?... was my impression

 

Correct on the factory aero kit.
