    is it for a cooper or a cooper s? I'm asking because I wanted to fit Coop S sides to my Cooper but didn't know if it was worth it cost wise. If I find a cheap pair, i'll whack them on and let you know how I get on.

    Yes it is fairly easy to do yourself. There are some instructions on MINI2.COM. If you get secondhand S Skirts then you will also have to buy the clips to refit them. (Only pennies).
    The alloy running strips can be removed and refitted with a bit of care.

    I bought some S skirts for a tenner at Mini In The Park in september, there was a stall selling only BMW MINI pieces and behind the stall they were were selling s skirts, areo kit skirts, wheels etc etc.

    i got a really good pair, just a small scratch on one of them. i bought them in september but still not got round to putting them on, im scared of breaking anything! lol

    Easy job. The parts you need are readily available from mini garages and cost me £10.23 . Bit of a random price I know.

    The first skirt I fitted was a 2 hour job. The second was a 20 minute job! Its a bit fiddly at first but once you suss it all out, its easy!!
