Hey ,
i am looking for a JCW aero kit or any OEM kit for my MCS 03...any ideas?

 

There's no such thing as a "JCW aero kit" for the 1st Gen MINI. There was only one aero kit, but it wasn't labelled as a JCW accessory (although... interestingly enough, all of the JCW press cars had the aero kit installed too).

There is a JCW aero kit for 2nd Gen MINIs, but since you have an 03, that doesn't help.

Ask at your MINI dealership about the 1st gen aero kit, they should be able to help you... or you can inquire with other sources online.

Here's the RealOEM page with the info & part numbers:

thanks

 

So you are trying to say there is not an aerokit, but you are saying we can get an aerokit? You kinda lost me here.

 

You misunderstood me.

There is an OEM aero kit for 1st Gen MINIs.

BUT

It isn't a "JCW" aero kit. It was never sold as a JCW product.

 

Just an FYI on the aero kits. BMW has discontinued all sales of pre-painted kits. They do still have some CR, AB, and Indigo Blue kits left but that is it. If you want to purchase by piece you may or may not be able to even get those colors pre-painted.

I know because I just ordered a pre-painted bumper from Jayson at Classic. I actually had placed the order with someone else there that was new and was told I couldn't get it other than in primer. I called Jayson and he stated I could still get it. BMW actually cancelled that order a few days later. The first guy explained to me the colors that were available and how to get the kits. Jayson was not rong but he wasn't aware of the change because it just happened.

If you plan on getting the kit it will cost less than the pre-painted version but you are going to have to locate a good body shop to paint it.

 

Anyone knows where i can order an OEM kit..?

 

Morristown Mini.

 

how much does the unpainted kit cost?

 

thanks marwan

 

does this kit actually give any downforce or combat lift? or is it just cosmetic?

 

Cosmetic. Actually weighs more than the stock parts.

 

ive found some prepainted ones over seas in france and england. i dont know if it is better to get them here and paint them, or ship them over the pond. any sugestions?

i have the JCW on my 2002. if u see my 1st gear thread u can check out pix. i really like it. i might get the rear grill painted black though

 

I looked at the ones at minisport (link above) the other day and just for the heck of it went through the order process to see what the shipping was. not only is the kit cheaper than you can find in the US but shipping is free to the US somehow. comes out to about $780 US total.

 

I sent them a email to verify the shipping and also make sure the side skirts are included on the pure silver. I will be ordering if everything checks out.

 

so what is the verdict? what did they say?

 

So i emailed them and they said that it is not free shipping

 

In order to reduce the misinformation about what the kit is and isn't (see my posts - #3 & #5), I'm renaming this thread from "JCW aero kit?" to just "Aero kit?" and moving it out of the JCW forum into 1st Gen Mods - Interior/Exterior.

 

how much did they say shipping would be?

 

wow you guys are so lucky to find a PAINTED kit for that price!!!! holy smoke I wish my car wasn't Hyper Blue....I guess I'll send them an email and see if they can get HB at that price but my guess is no or they would just add it to the list

 

Shipping to NY is:

Air Freight - door to door £495.00
Air Freight - door to airport £250.00
Sea Freight -door to port £170.00

 

When I emailed them, they also told me that they only had a BRG aero kit for the Mini Cooper S. I did not realize that the kits were different for S and non-S. Am i right?

 

Just the rear bumper cover. Exhaust exit is different..
S is in the center.
Non S on the right.

 

wow. I am an idiot. that was a noob question. sorry, i guess i was just thinking about the front end.
