Right all you Aero Kit experts! :D Is it possible to pop the Chrome Line Exterior :cool: Front Grilles into the Aero Kit - as opposed to using the black plastic :sleepy: Aero-stylee grilles :question: The Bonnet aperture :I must be the same size for both, but not sure about the smaller lower one. I'm thinking about various tweeks :kiss: for G3 ELF, so if someone could clear this one up for me that's be good :approve:

Pretty sure it is, as the Airfix one that's in is glued in..
Not 100% sure tho, no expert! :D

And now I can't remember having seen one done..

I'm sure a slight bit of trimming of the grille is needed as they are slightly different shapes, but it will fit

I have seen cars with aero kits and the chrome grill fitted as well. Im sure John Cooper Garages do their own cars like that as Mike Cooper doesnt like the black grill. I definately read that somewhere.

Yes it can be fitted, although its not a straight forward fit;)

They are both the same shape but the locating lugs dont line up and the chrome grill is too deep therefore would stick out.

Carefully trim down the back of the grill and it looks great!:cool:

Thanks John, Ian, Fish N' Low.

Food for thought once I've been to see the 'New' New MINI on Sunday and decided finally whether I like it or not.......
