Areo Side Skirts

[Mini Martyn]

Went into Henry Bros. to find out how much these were, and was quoted £600 supplied fitted and painted, is this a good deal or could I buy them online or mail order?

Your help and advise people would be great!!

[Gismo]

Whoa, that's expensive :eek: either buy the skirts from them or somewhere else and get a local bodyshop to fit them for you.
I'm sure the skirts are about £280, so, for £320 they will paint and fit them, hmm, nice earner for the dealer.

Go round a few places and ask them how much to paint and fit.

Heheh yea the bodykit is a really nice earner for them (£1600 full), their bodyshop tends to take the mr jackson a tad when it comes to prices

I think you can order the bits delivered to the dealer already painted. I'm think there are part numbers for them in the accessories brochure.

The accessories catalogue lists the full aero kit including front/back skirts as "from £900" this is for supply so £600 sounds pricey - go with BS/KenL 's ideas if i were you.

[Quik_Mini]

£900 not fitted or painted as far as I am aware and yea you can get them painted before they go to the dealer and it is less expensive, when I was getting my lil baby i got a phone call saying I had one of two options, either i could pay extra and get henry bros to do the aerokit painting or I had to wait longer for them to get already painted parts in.... I think it was like 2 weeks longer wait.. Guess what I chose :)

I'm sure mine were about £300 fitted a year ago.

[sh@z]

my full kit cost £15-1600 if i remember right..?

[Quik_Mini]

Yea same for mine, I think thats about standard, but Mini are changing the kit price this year I think.

I was quoted about 300 quid for Aero skirts for my S not that long ago. Decided to wait until the New Year to get them though.

Does anyone have the side skirts fitted but not the bumpers? If so do they have a pic? I like the chrome front grill which you lose with the aero kit (I think) but would quite like the side skirts if they looked ok.

[Gismo]

Col,
I have the aero side skirts but not the bumpers, you should be able to see that in one of the piccies i sent you.
I have the S so the chrome grill is not there

Martyn, Sioban wants the skirts put on for her birthday, but i haven't had time to do any "looking around". Could you let me know what the best solution is when you get an answer. Pre-painted sounds simple! I'll trust your judgement:approve::approve:

[Big Col]

Oh so you do Alan. I never even noticed that. They look excellent.

What did you use on the wheel arches to get them so shiny?:cool:

When is Sioban's birthday? I am away on holiday next week but will try and do some rumaging before I go and let you know.

I used a local body shop and had them painted shiny black :cool:

Just been into Henry Bros. and they have quoted me £280 inc VAT to supply the side skirts but not fitted or painted. So that means that they charge a further £320 to paint and fit them!! Not bad going!!

I have not found them cheaper on the net yet but will try and have a hunt soon.

[weefossy]

Thanks Martyn. I have a local paint shop I trust so I will ask what fitting and painting would cost. The money "she who must be obeyed" has spent over Xmas, she may have to wait until her next birthday!!
