Need help on a Body Part for my Cooper

[k333rah]

Hi everyone :bigwave:

Not too sure if this is acutally what I am after lol. The side skirts, wheel arches and both bumpers at the bottom have this horrible plastic that is fading. I would like it to match the car and i think it would be a body kit but not sure? Can someone please tell me if i'm being a dafty :laugh: and say what it is I need lol.

Appreciate all your help.

I think you mean you want to colour code your arches? Or you would like a bodykit with colour coded arches?

Crombers painted his arches in black think that is what you are after. Any good bodyshop should be able to do it for you

As said you can have the black plastic painted. You could by an all round aero kit. Around about £700 mark-ish. This is really nice and would finish off the car nicely. You could also try and buy the bits individually. The side skirts would be the first to go( replaced with the aero ones),(if you have a look through my gallery show case, it will show the difference it can make) they change the whole look of the car. You could also replace the black plastic left if you want. What I would recommend meantime is using a product to bring your trim up to scratch. The two I would recommend would be black wow (£18 for about 150ml)and chemical guys own brand(£12 for 300ml) Both are amazing and you would not believe how new your trim will look. Once you apply it buff off 10 mins later and it looks like new for ages. Hope this helps.


This shows the aero side skirt.

I know could'nt resist getting an old piccie up. This car was nearly 7 years old and look at the plastic trim.

Your old pic looks beautiful. The trims have come up nicely shall try the products to buff it up first then save some pennies for the real thang, lol!

Thank you all for your advice. Most Appreciated xx
