Finished / 2009 fJCW w/ added GP parts

Gp Aero
I have the undertrays and rear diffusers on my 2013 JCW and feel the car is absolutely stable in 30MPH+ crosswinds. Did you notice an increase in crosswind stability after adding the GP parts? I had the GP parts installed new so I don't have a before and after comparison.

Another poster on the site made me two brackets that matched the ones that came on his GP. I glued them on, and the spoiler fits right over them.
The GP rear window only has a couple of metal brackets glued on it. The bracket mounts there and uses the existing mounting locations on the top of the hatch where the old spoiler mounted.
MINI won't sell the brackets separately. You could buy the rear glass and have them professionally removed and reused on the back glass with the wiper if you wanted - but, you'd be out $250.
As far as stability in cross winds - I'm not sophisticated enough to know. I just know the handling is much improved with the GP suspension, and I figure all the other aero pieces must do something.

Thanks. I loved the added stuff on the new GP and was pretty shocked that I was able to get these add-ons - starting with the diffuser. It fell into place after that.
By far, the best part is the GP suspension. I never thought about upgrading my suspension, and thought my handling was due to a poor tire choice on my part. Now, I can throw this thing into corners with confidence.
Here's another couple of shots:
