Is it possible to fit the JCW Aerokit of R56 to R53 ?

 

I doubt it.

 

Sideskirts can be made to fit............

 

You would most Likely need to do a signafigant amount of adjusting and body filler to fill in the gaps. IMO it most likely would not be worth the effort unless the kit was free, and you were doing it to show off....the fact it could be done, and you customaztion skills. Even then, it simply might have the wrong contors and not look quite right.

 

does any one have any more information on how to make the side skirts fit as ive seen a couple R53 with them on

 

I can do it... using photoshop.

 

well with the right amount of money, anythings possible... worth it, probably not.

the best way may be to section it here, and there, and there, and everywhere to get it to mate up to the important parts of the r53 bumpers, like at the front grille, ect.... but youd need some skills and the ***** to temporarily destroy $1000s worth of parts lol

 

For the cost and headache of doing that, you might as well cut up and reshape an R53 kit with body shop stuff.

Anyone got pics of this?

I love the R56 aero skirts but Im not so crazy about the R53.

 

these only pics i have of them on an r53

 

Anymore photos of that flat black Mini ? Thing looks nasty!!

 

DAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNN

Ive seen that black one 1000 times but I never noticed the skirts. I gotta get those. Thats my next mod FOR SURE.

 

So are the side skirts a direct fit? May look into it...

 

I hope it is as i dont wanna pay all that money for the skirts to find out i need to do alot of work to get them to fit

 

so are the side skirts a direct fit, or do you have to mod them in any way??

 

Ok folks, stage 1 is complete....The skirts are on and ready to be finished this week.
Sorry about the quality of the pics, just got it back yesterday and have had no time to take some day time pics. If you notice the fender flares on the new skirts are about 3/4 of an inch wider then the r53. So the next step, is to sand that extra 3/4 down to match the width of the r53 and then paint that section off body colour so the flares and lines flow evenly....again, my appolgies for the poor quality pics:

 

Sweet ride, dude... seriously sweet.

So, were they a direct fit? I can't imagine they would fit on without SOME modification. That's an amazing look, though- unique, aggressive, and classy. This is a seriously awesome idea, I can't wait to see where this goes!!

 

final stage complete:

 

wow that looks amazing how did you go about making the arch trim on the skirts fit the wheel arches?

 

How do they mount? Are all the holes in the same place as the R53 skirts or did they require modifying?

I can't wait to do this to mine. Its gonna make such a huge difference on my car.

 

 

I noticed the first two cars with it also have the ociari (sp) twin scoops. i saw them on the eurosport website and i has to has thems!! anyone else have them or anyone else with pics of the r56 side skirts? ty

 

I have a set on my car they really do just set it off much better than the plastic oem grills
