Hellion - You're right. Looking at the hi-res pics of the car, it appears it is a standard JCW front clip, with the trim piece adding the lip. Someone get on that!!!

what do we have to do get both of these products. i really want both of them and as soon as possible.

Just one question, will the diffuser work with the standard bumper? If it does will it be able to be used with the JCW aero kit down the road or are they two different diffusers?

Hi folks! For the dirhong ALTA group we are out. The price is just to high and the qty requirements too high. We need 100 (yikes) people to sign up at $1500 each on the wings.

I have only gotten about a half dozen people willing to do it.

I expect the m7 version to come out soon and that will hopefully fill the void.

Thank you for your interest!

These were actually better than expected on the prices!!

Is the Rear Diffuser just for the R56? Or is this for the R53 also?

Thanks so much for these offerings for the MINI community.

We were striving to come out with a price point that was lower than expected but we wanted all the pieces to be in place so we could be sure.

The rear diffuser will be available for both series but the pricing you see here is only for the R-56. The tunnels will be the same for both but we are unsure about the mounting bracket issue with the R-53. Expect the prices to be close though.

The wing is available for both the r-53 and r-56. I am not sure when we will be posting up more photos as we are scrambling to get everything in place for our trip to Bonneville next week. We might just have to wait until we return but we will give it a shot.

The goal is to create more down force with out incurring drag. So far out totally subjective tests are proving this to be true. We have one set on a professional series race car which should give us much more definitive proof. We are also going to Bonnieville next week for more testing. Mind you this is only effective at above legal speeds so only those that track their cars will see any performance benefit. For real life every day driving at legal speeds I would say there is no noticeable performance increase.

this is slightly unrelated but it is a question for the m7 guys

will you be releasing a rear ultimate grill for the stock rear bumper?

i would be interested in the ultimate grills but only if i could match the front with the back.

btw i am saving up for the aluminum wing!!! i love m7 i hope that you are around for a long long time.

Here are some images of the total Aero package that we are offering.

The The C-Wing This wing will be available in three stages.

1. Carbon fiber attachment body panel with CF wing element and gloss
black side panels. A CF end panel element will be available in the future.

2. Fiberglass attachment body panel with CF wing element and gloss
black side panels. This is for the guy who want's to paint part of the
wing elements.

3. Fiberglass attachment body panel with a black anodized Aluminum wing element, gloss black side panels. This will be the economy version of the C-Wing, great performance lighter on the pocket book.

We did show the car yesterday at VCR and I do believe we have a lot of
future Mini owners gauging the response from the crowd.

I will have pricing on all the cool stuff later (vendor announcement).
And availability will be in the neighborhood of weeks IE. if you like something
soon get your self on the waiting list.

I dont want to speak for Peter as I dont know his exact plan and time frame for these. But I will tell you what he told me.

The rear diffuser has been retooled to make install easier. The earlier version from what he told me was a PIA. He was waiting for the prototype about 2 weeks ago. So I would imagine you may see final product by the end of the year. My understanding on the wing is that its ready to go now. As with all the M7 parts they go out of there way to make sure its right before it goes out to the public.
