51 45 0 420 782

This is the JCW dash for the R56 which needs to be order with ten 07 14 7 152 490 fixing clamps.
Looks really sharp....oh by the way I am selling a ducati to keep my JCW habit going, its horrible. But the parts are perfect fit and they look fantastic.

Yes, the JCW carbon-fiber parts are works of art. I've gotten all of the them for the R53 except the handbrake, shift **** and steering wheels inserts.

But I'm keeping my Ducati...

WOW that's pretty!

Any idea if they do the door rings as well? I'd be all over switching out the piano black.

PM with $$$?

I could have sworn you already had a CF dash in pix you've posted of the little steering wheel piece,no?

LOL - The Duc is a lot of fun, even if my wife calls it my "pimp parade float":



Actually, the true "pimp parade float" was my last Ducati. It was a Monster 900 that I wanted to paint a "tri-colore" scheme on, but there's not enough plastic/bodywork on a Monster to pull it off front-to-rear. So, I painted the left half of the bike green, the right half red, and painted a white "Corsa" stripe down the middle. But here's the kicker - the red and green were metalflake, and the white stripe was ice pearl. Came out great, but I totaled it (and almost lost a leg) about three weeks later. I don't even have any pictures of it after I got done painting it.

Ok saturday came and went, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to even think about the dash...Yesterday one of my wonderful tech buddy, took some time off and got to my dash, well the first piece behind the steering wheel was a snap! literally snap out and snap the CF piece in, BUT then the second piece still off , happens that my MINI came with the storage CD charger compartment shut, but I am on the list to have the piece retro fit on their coin so its happening tomorrow, SO............Note if your CD charger storage area does not pop open you need to see if your MINI is on the list to get the piece retrofit it before you can install the CF dash.

Here it is, the 1/2 jobber.

But looks stunning in person , the CF is beautiful, and looks much better than all of my Ducati CF pieces which are made also by carbontech in Austria.

Nice one Scott....my 749 has a full CF body and most everything else, including wheels, the 998 has a carbon body and wheels and a few more pieces...

Finally got the right side in place, it was a matter of 2 torx screws, but my MINI came without the secret compartment so i had to wait in order to get it installed for free and get the parts in. Well its done now.

I like it.

Are the installation instructions available online?

I'd also be interested in hearing where you got them and how much. Any reason not to post that info?

Installation its a no brainer pop the left dash panel out and replace with the new carbon fiber one, the second panel works as easy if you have the storage door operational otherwise you need to have your dealer order you one if your MINI is on the list to get one in place, IF you have the storage door operational then is a matter of screwing two torx screws in and voila! You have a shinny new $650 carbon dash in place, which you can order thru your parts departament at your MINI dealer.
