Recent M7 Tuning GP enquiry

So I was browsing M7's site- checking out their products and I saw their rear carbon fiber diffuser tunnels for the R56 JCW...
I contacted them through their site asking a simple question: and I quote:
Subject: Carbon Fiber Diffuser tunnels
> Message: Hello,
> Do you know if this is compatable with a 2013 GP's rear diffuser mounting
> points? I like my diffuser but would love it if it was CF. thank you
> - Tim


Their response 2 days later was this:

> Tim
>
> I am not sure I understand your question? What exactly are you referring to
> as "2013 GP"?
> Our diffuser mounting points are unique to the M7 design. The system was
> designed and engineered in-house. So if you are asking if it will match up
> to a competitors mounts. I would not think so.
>
> Give me more specific info and I will work with you on this.
>
>
> Thanks for contacting M7
> Stay M7 Tuned.........................



I guess it was my fault for not clarifying to a Mini Tuning company that I was referring to a 2013 Mini Cooper JCW GP... I just assumed that they would know what I ment by saying a 2013 GP..

M7 recently changed ownership. Don't know who bought it but you would come to think they would know what the GP was.

LOL I have been noticing that M7 has been getting a lot more aggressive with their facebook posts recently... They showed a video of an R56 with a pretty interesting Sequential Shift system the other week. If that product is something being developed by the new owners, then we may see some other cool/risky endeavors from them...

EDIT: Just saw how old that video is LOL sorry

M7 was purchased by myteebrite group http://www.myteebrite.com/, in March of 2013.

Per their site they are a e-commerce company focused on automotive aftermarket performance.

..I would hope that they are going to try and grow.

Either way, as a company already in the MINI market, a new owner should do a little research before responding with such an a$$-retarded answer. Heck, take an extra day or two to google! AND....who the heck doesn't know what a 2013 GP is?!!!

I'm trying not to lose faith in the "new" M7

Maybe on their FACEBOOK PAGE?!:nod ::nod ::nod ::nod ::nod ::nod ::nod ::nod :

Yeah...not a great start...think they would be "more into the MINI scene" if they were buying a MINI modding company....
Hope they hire somebody FAST!!
Anybody need a JOB?!

Epic fail on their part, you just made me laugh The rear bumper on the original GP was SLIGHTLY different than the bumper on the regular MINI's, and I don't mean the silver inserts, but the actual size of the bumper. Cross reference the rear bumper part number with a regular JCW Bumper part # and see if they are the same. If so, I bet you will be in luck and it would fit........ if you actually to give them your hard earned money now!
