Before and After Aero
Discussion
Yes I did fit it but didn't paint it 
Before the JCW just looked dull and it has sat nav which if I had bought it new I would have spent the money on the kit.
I did buy it to do this job though as I could never find a mini with the colour scheme I wanted so I made my own.
I left out rear pictures because at the time I did not have the grill insert stickers on as I was waiting for black/grey ones from mini pirate which I now have.
Also the spot lights are superb in the dark country lanes round here they really do the job and just look the part.

Photos of the rear (note lack of grill stickers...they are now on)
Thanks for the positive comments. The chrome was something Lady SLacKer wanted so her wish is my command.
I got the bodykit and most other parts (not lights) from BMW and got a reasonable deal on it. They wanted £1000 to paint and fit which I declined and found a local bodyshop to paint it. The thing was I just collected the kit and it comes in several large boxes and dropped it off at the bodyshop and he had painted the kit and I had picked it up to fit and then discovered the lack of the PDC holes. So a number of calls later the correct rear was delivered to the paint shop and the other returned and they have agreed to pay for the painting of the second bumper. The whole thing was a daft mistake (somewhere between emails and phone calls always requesting the rear PDC and me getting it a mistake was made) but it delayed the project by about a week.
Still now it's done all is well. The worst part of fitting the kit was removing the standard sill covers with the clip breaking etc. as you were really butchering the car to a degree and the thought of 'what are u doing' popped into my head.
