It's not as impressive as new shoes but it was my first modification thanks in large part to Twister and his garage. (thanks for teaching me how to fish)

Before and after on the Aero Grill

Looks great! It's amazing how just changing the grill affects the whole exterior of the MINI...

Way to sport our new badge too!!

Mark is correct I looked around and they had the best price by about $10 and he was still running the discount on the grill badge holders. His shipping rate was very reasonable and I had the stuff in just a couple of days. If you do order the grill badge holders you will need to call him (Aaron) to get the discount. The install took us about 2.5 hours going at an instructional pace and you need some modification tools to complete the job.

Forgot to add the cost is 79.99 for both pieces.

I will say this much, even though I instructed Dylan on much of the process, I think this was my last. It's a pain in the rear to do. I've done this 5 times and that's enough

I like it very much, a great update. Looks like you will be the new installer / instructor for those who desire to do the same; since Mark is bowing out.

I guess that means I'll have to buy a dremel (darn another new toy) and I know there is a glue gun lying around the house somewhere.

And to answer Drew you will see us Saturday I'll touch base with you thursday or friday and we can bump it back up the list once all of these dragon people get on the road.
