Well since we have been having Glorious weather the last few days i thought i'd set about fitting the aero grilles and spotlights i bought in the for sale section off Ross (Countdown)

the spots are the easiest of them all although this had to wait until the grille was on.
My what a silly method for attaching grilles. A plastic lug with a makeshift style nut that threads the plastic making it pretty much unusable when removed and replaced after a few times.

Anyway got the bonnet grille fitted marked up the pionts to drill for spotlight brackets and wired them up ( i thought it was pretty easy the wiring part that is)

Now it was time for the lower grille a bit of a biatch because you need to remove the bumper but i got there in the end.

So folks let me know what you think me likey the wife doesn't

by the way black tape is just holding the grille until bonder sets as i broke a clip

Yep, a great mod and realtively inexpensive, really transforms the front of non aero kitted MINI's

Yes well done, I did this mod too and it was tricky at times. Defo looks the biz though. JUst so you know david (JC parts) could sort you out with the mini front lamp covers, believe it or not there only about £5 each.

Looks excellent though.
