Can factory Aero kit be installed after you bought the car?

If not, is there any clean after market aero kit available?
I may go with regular hardtop and add after wheels and factory kit.
Thanks,
-Mike

Just saw this kit and really love it! It is AC Schnitzer front and read slpitters.
I just don't like factory hardtop front grills. Can those be changed out like the one on S model?

You can add the Aero kit after... just a bit pricey.

Yes, you can add the JCW aero kit after. It's an extremely easy install. Don't let the dealer do it, they charge a fortune to put it on

I installed mine on my Clubman. Fun project that took several hours. The results, a completely different car. For me it was worth every dime.

Point of clarification... That's the JCW aero kit you're looking for... There is a different aero kit that's available from the factory - you just don't see it very much because most folks think it's fugly.

You can get the JCW aero kit from the dealer or any number of other places. If I was going to order it, I'd do so from minigenuineparts.co.uk - shipping costs more, but you can get it factory painted, which is 1) easier than having it painted locally, and 2) likely a better paint job (right flex additives, etc).
