    Anyone replaced the standard "S" skirts with the aero skirts to their "S"?? there does not seem to be a space to fit the metal strip with the Cooper S wording from the standard ones on to the aero kit??

    Any help appreciated

    The skirts from my dealer were £285 including all the clips and also the 2 little plastic mesh grills. Quite expensive when you consider that the standard ones are about £55 all in.

    I did try to prise off the metal strip but i gave up, i was very careful and the thing was just creasing as i was removing them. Guess what i need to buy next :(
