hi guys! im thinkin of getting an areo grill and just replacing the stock one. i think the bonnet one can just be replaced but the lower one a bit of work might have to be done! was just wondering if anyone has done this and knows of what work has to be carried out?

Emily has had this done to her car. You can buy the grills from MINI for around £50 but the lower grill needs to be trimmed quite extensively at each end and then bonded in place - if it isnt trimmed fully, it doesn't sit flush with the bumper. You're right that the bonnet grill is a direct replacement.

I believe Lohen do a ready trimmed kit OR, Lowandslow (registered on here)has done many of these kits and i'm sure he'll be more than happy to help with pointers.

thanks mr cooper thats a big help.. although i dont know if its me being stupid but couldnt find anything on lohen.. im going to try and get in touch with lowandslow and see if he can help.
Thanks again :thumbs:

Yea should should not have to much trouble doing it i did it to my cooper top bonnet and bumper, nice to actualy remove to bumper instead of just opening the bonet and bodging it like me lol

lol. i was hoping for an easy way out with the lohen conversion kit because its already trimmed but they stopped doing it ages ago apparantly... i know if i end up doin it i will break all the clips and trim too much off it and fook the hole thing up :S and end up superglueing the whole thing lol. not a good look

i would go for the cades one its awesome looking and looks a bit like the R56 aero grille .......NICE

i was looking at the cades one actually, but it would look funny on my car because its in gloss black.. my cars the astro black..what u rekon?

i fitted one to spoony's black 2 on here car and it looks pukka fella

dont matter the cars shiney not matt black so i reckon it would look awesome
