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

A little OT here, but has anyone tried fitting the R56 panels on an R53?

 

You have a great memory MM. Way to stay on top of things. I will have to add this to my list with the mpg and noise reduction thing.

sorry it doesn't work that easy. The Challenge car has a special CD parts catalog, you can't just order by their VIN. Oh and wait till you get the prices, they are CRAZY EXPENSIVE.

 

I hear the "mission Impossible" music in my head. :ihih:

 

How about the G4 diffuser?

Jim

 

Get me a Part # and I will see.

 

Go to "sponsors", scroll down the "G4 Aero Sports". There is a thread here someplace about folks who got them.

WAYYYYYY to big for my taste! lol

 

Interestingly I was somehow distracted by one auto article that lead to another thant led to something about the Chevy Cruze. They offer a specific 'Eco' model which gets better fuel economy. On the GM site they discuss how the Eco model differs from the regular. It was noteworth 2 particular points:
■A lower front air dam extension, extensive use of underbody panels and a rear spoiler enhance aerodynamics
■A lowered ride height improves aerodynamics

Using the same logic, a lowered MINI, with JCW cow-catcher and underbody panels should see improved fuel economy. That is unless you use the new 'features' as an excuse to drive faster

 

Free mod, I'm there!

Hey Chuck, can these shaved underpants be bolted to an R53?

 

Chuck I believe somewhere earlier in the thread there's mention of adaptation for 1st Gen MINI. =)

 

Thanks Rixter!

Hey Chuck keep those underpants on! With $4 a gallon gas it is going to feel like being bent over at each fill up. Glad I drive a small car.

 

hello my name is David an my hobbies include driving by as many gas stations as I can.

 

I guess I'm going to have to move these up on my mod list.

David: Bet I can pass more gas stations then you can. :cornut:

No question about that. Just did some looking around. Do they make an aero bumper for the justa?
