2nd Gen JCW Most liked posts in thread: R56 JCW - My Bottom Is Gonna Be As Smooth As A Baby's Butt

Here's mine on a 2006 JCW. Had mine installed by the dealer. Definitely notice the difference at high speeds (triple digits).





Yes, you have to cut away a little section on each, but if you take your time and measure, you can make it look factory clean. Although I did not do the install, the mech said he was surprised how snug and tight everything fits.

Here's the cutaway pieces from the installation.




Edit: Here are the part numbers (I got from another forum) for extra parts needed for the install. These are the part numbers I gave my dealer.

Part No's for the panels are:
51 75 2 753 163
51 75 2 753 164

You will also need the brackets:
51 75 2 753 165
51 75 2 753 166

 

It is easy to see why 1st Gen guys would do better to get the 2nd gen panels as the 1st gen panels are 'GP' and list for ~$189 ea as opposed to ~$61 ea. Yeah, I can get the tin snips out for that kind of $$ delta.

BTW, thanks for the pics and part numbers. It looks great on your car.

 

I checked my MINI and they're not factory installed :frown2:

 

I'm thinking it might actually help with rust protection cause less gunk is splashing up from underneath

 

Just Peachy. Another mod I "need". :frown2:

I wonder if it will coexist with my cabrio brace and X-brace without major butchering...

 

Is this an "S" piece only or will they fit around the spare tire holder on a Justa?

 

They have them for the Justa. It stops before it gets back to the exhaust/spare area.

 

Do they really? I never saw an option for them, at least I don't think so. When you say "justa" are you talking about R50 or R56?

Jim

 

I do not believe these panels are compatible with the X-brace. The purpose of these panels is to get smooth and controlled air flow, and we aint gonna get it even if you fit butcher them and fit what you can with the X-brace in place.

 

R56.

MCS's and MC's are identical underneath from the front subframe back to the rear subframe.

 

Well I'll darned. All my complaining about nothing out there for a justa and it turns out there IS and I didn't know it. Please point me to where can I find out about these things.

Jim

 

My exhaust takes a beating, so I imagine something like this would be just as likely to get hung up. Being plastic, it'd be prone to tearing away so it's not on my list of future mods despite the aerodynamic benefit. Still a cool OEM mod though

 

Thanks MM. I like Outmotoring too so I will head there.

Jim

 

Does this seem like an excessive shipping charge? ut:

Looks like I will give Outmotoring or Penske a shot.

So these things fit right into place with the pop thingies. I could go to my local shop and we could do this with no major problems, drilling, cutting, etc?
