Carbon Fiber Scoop

Yet another exterior upgrades, after changing the front grill. I just have to change the scoop to complete the front end upgrades. At first I was contemplating whether to paint the scoop black or change it to CF. After looking at some picture, plus the Cf really stands out when you snap pictures of it at night. So I decided to get it done. Check out the results.

JCW Aero Grill

This is one of my latest exterior modification done. It's another one of those none performance mods. As usual, I got my idea from looking at pictures of other minis. Since I don;t have the budget to get a full JCW body kit.

So I opted for a less expensive mods. (It's not really cheap). It's a JCW Aero Grill. The difference is the grill has a honey comb designed compare to the stock one. It also gives the car a more aggressive looks. I guess it's due to is colour. It's black compare to the stock ones. The results as shown from the picture below.

The installation was done by Fastlane Automotive. The whole process took 3 hours to complete. The top grill was the easy part. The most difficult part was to install the lower grill as it involve cutting the lower inner bumper. Although the work isn't entirely perfect as the cut under neath the grill wasn't really straight. But I cannot blame them as it is not easy to cut the bumper. Since you really have to bend over to see the imperfections under the bumper. I guess I can close one eye. I am quite happy with the results and overall, they had done a good job on the installations.

I would recommend anyone using BMW Mini R53/56 to go to Fastlane for good and professional work.

Next up would be CF Scoop & Piper Cross Open Pod Air filter with heatshield or AXT Silicn Hoses.
