JCW Pro Diffuser Installed - F56S

Just finished the install on the JCW Pro Rear Diffuser and it looks awesome. I picked mine up from Way Motor Works and am very happy. Really like the contrast against the Electric Blue. Got that finished in about an hour, next is the JCW Concept stripes in white and contrasting electric blue for the roof. Additional pictures will be posted soon.

Happy Motoring!!

Who painted it for you? How much did the rear diffuser cost if you don't mind me asking?

My apologies about the delayed response. I paid around $500.00 to get the part and this is the finish out of the box. No painting required unless you want to have it done.

We have it here and its a very nice upgrade.

The price has gone up a bit since then.

There is also the JCW pro extension and the front spolier.

that looks awesome. Did you install the front splitter too?

Could you post couple more pics of your car? I love the color combo in fact thinking about ordering the same color combo custom jcw.

Sure, I will get the pictures posted today. I do not have the front splitters as they are not available for cars with the park assistant option. I would love to have them but no one seems to offer. I get a ton of compliments on the color combination, it really stands out...This would be an awesome color on the JCW.

Happy Motoring!!
Chris

Here a few pictures of the car. I included my window sticker as well, has most of the options that were available. It took about 90 days for it to come in and I have no regrets. I also added the dealer installed JCW tuning kit and exhaust Good Luck on your decision and have fun!

thx for posting them. car looks awesome, i searched in cars.com and autotrader - no one has this color combo out there... are you going to get cross bars? is that why you installed roof rails?

Hey Erdalozan, thanks for the feedback.. I am planning on getting the cross bars as well, plus I thought it gives the roof a nice finished look.

The color combo is pretty rare, I did find an all EBII JCW on Cars.com....I had to search by color to find it. It is a manual in Kennesaw, GA at MINI of Kennesaw. The price is showing 38K before negotiating. I will upload some of the pics for you.

Enjoy!

yes i saw that one too but hey it does not have white roof I was gonna go to my dealership today to see if i can fit my road bike in the trunk of a f56. I cycle a lot and it is very important for me to get a rack but i honestly do not like the roof rack. I had it on my 2013 JCW before. I have been googling but does not look like anyone has pics of their road bike in the trunk...

I dont think it would fit, MINI does have the bikes that fold in half but its not really a road bike. If you do a custom order get the rear bike attachment that way you can keep the roof line slick. Either way I think it will look sharp.

I like it a lot...Looks really nice with the black rims. Completely understand about the options, etc. My F56 is my 6th MINI and I dont think my next one will be options heavy. All the options are cool but really not necessary. You will love the NAV XL, its awesome. I saw the chronos package in person and I have mixed feelings on it. Have you seen it in person? The sport tranny is awesome and it will have launch control as well, I have used it once.

I traded in my 14 R60 S All4 for the F56. I also have a Paceman S All4. Do you still have your R56? It is a sharp car. It's nice to meet other enthusiast.

Here is a pic of the R60 I had, I added the JCW grill.

Does it help keep the back of the car clean?
The problem that irritates me the most is the dust will billow up behind the car and the rear is FILTHY all the time.

Not really, It gets just as dirty on the rear as before. I added the tuning kit with the larger exhaust tips so it gives a more sportier look with the diffuser. The initial picture that I posted doesn't show with that upgrade yet. That pic is with the stock exhaust.

Happy Motoring!

Love the Paceman. You should definitely ditch the volt have some fun!

Yea, that JCW is hot, and love the interior option. One rare JCW.

JCW Paceman? The Paceman was the least sold Mini I think. I bet I never will see one of those in my lifetime!

I agree!!! I'm really not much of a fan of the F56 rear diffuser, as the stock JCW rear bumper cover suits me just swell! That R56 rear diffuser looks proper for a diffuser imo!
