    No, it's the just the stock chin spoiler that comes with the JCW Aero bumper. I made several attempts to get the Challenge splitter, but those a locked up for use with the Challenge series. I contacted sources in Canada and England, but to no avail.

    Lots of sliding under the car, so I'm a little sore this morning.

    Thanks all, for the comments. :)

    Yeah, as you probably know, it's a 3 cylinder diesel. Lots of torque. :D

    Yep, ours too. Wife drives it all the time and I rarely get a chance. If I had known that I could make her happy by getting her a JD, I would have done much sooner. Do they make an aero bumper for them? :D

    There's a guy in AZ who's sold 2 Challenge chins over the past year (via the other site). If I see one come up again I'll send you a link. But from my perspective you don't need it. Looks great :Thumbsup:

    NICE!

    Have they changed that bottom 'lip'? I've been eyeing the JCW side skirts but up to now the front and rear parts of that kit have left me 'meh'

    Yours gots me reassessing.....

    Not sure if they changed it. I'm very happy with the new look. Here's the two next to each other.

    Here's another shot. The lip spoiler was not the easiest thing to install. It's split in two pieces and each section must have a least 20 snap tabs you have to engage. Once you get them lined up, you have to push the lip in two directions to get the snaps to lock. I was extra careful not to scratch the paint on the bumper while I was wrestling the lip in place.

    MM, the driving light housings are also a pain to get in as I'm sure you experienced. Mine came loose a couple of times until finally they seated properly. You may want to check them after driving for a couple of days.

    Good point Mark....

    I noticed that when I was snapping all the sections together. So I went back around with a flat screwdriver pushing on the locking tabs. Sure enough, I could hear some of them snap / locking in place. But I'll be sure to check them.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Very nice! I love my JCW aerokit too! Any idea what those two little flaps are underneath the bumper? One of mine was loose...from being too low and scraping, so I pulled it off. The other one is still in tact though.

    I was wondering the same thing. They don't seem to line up with the tire treads. Are they pushing the air to the outside of the tire maybe. I was considering not installing them, but they seem like they can be easily removed.
