Pre 3/2012 and Post 3/2012 differences?

I’m really interested in getting the JCW Style Aero II body kit for my 2012 but I have been told it wont fit the post 3/2012 mini cooper S (mine is 5/2012) I am curious what the difference is that would make it not fit and if there’s any way around it.

Thanks for any info.

Bump because I'm scratching my head wondering what my options are since I just picked up a post 3/2012 MCS myself.

You can plug the last 7 of the VIN on http://www.realoem.com and it will list what JCW kit will fit.

From what I've been told by MINI is that you will need part #51 19 2 185 856 which is a conversion kit to be able to install the JCW Aero II on post 03/12 vehicles. I run into this while researching the JCW Aero II for my 3/12 build Clubman S.
