Is it possible -without replacing the whole bumper of a 2008 R56S- to fit those "disk brake air vents" that cool the brakes of the latest R56S?
That looks like the factory aero bumper that has been modified. Do you have the aero or standard bumper?
need to change the bumper the inserts/lower grille kit is slick and about 130 bucks BUT only fits into the aero bpr-I already tried it on my 08
My bumper looks like the one on the picture, only not modified. I have the standard 2008 R56S bumper. The aero bumper is the one that JCW uses, right?
In addition there are 2 versions of the brake ducts. They differ by model year. I can't recall when it changed but it was with the R56 refresh in like 2010-11? ish. Anyway, I had the black brake ducts on my 09 JCW and ordered the red ones. The holding tabs are in different locations and they don't plug and play with the grill insert.
Oh and lets not forget if you are not running the Dragon or Auto crossing everyday you really don't need them. For most people it just a "Look Cool" mod because people do not run the ducting from the vent all the way to the brakes.
As one that does run "daily" with ducted brakes I can report it's quite the eye opener when you don't have much of a pedal for a bit after a long highway run in the rain with temps in the 50's or lower.
I cant find any pictures of: the aero, the JCW and the stock bumpers to make the comparison! Nor can i understand what kind of bumper is on the picture!
