    Just back from Menzies where our MINI has been in for a wee makeover the past couple of days.

    Aero kit front and rear bumpers fitted. All chrome removed. Colour coded mirror caps fitted. St Andrews Cross flag on sunroof (by Carlo at Solar Glass Technologies).

    We love it!

    Much better a+l, much much better. (Never been a fan of chrome mirrors, vents scoops etc :))

    Just watch how many chips you get on the aero bumper now

    All you need now is painted brake calipers to set it off there'll be left over red from mine being done at menzies :sleepy:

    All chrome removed? <peers> Whatabout the line round the windows? Or the door handle? Or the fillercap? Of the headlight surrounds? Or your spot surrounds? Or the repeater light surrounds? Or the mini badges? Hmmm? HMMMMM?

    It's looking good though.

    Well. I meant all the chrome that we had added over the past year has been removed.

    the car looks really spot on ,the Aero kit just sets it off to a T ,with the roof graphic being the icing on the cake , a good all round job I'd say ,and well thought out as well i bet

    Unfortunately, It's more Lenore's car than mine so I don't really have any say with the WWW sticker issue. Believe me, I've tried.

    Haven't tested the spots but they are not new. They were fitted to the Mini before. I'm sure Menzies will have plugged them back in.8)
