JCW GP2 rear diffuser for a non JCW R56

Has anyone found or attempted to install a JCW GP2 rear diffuser to a non JCW R56, I have one and want the benefits to higher speed driving with the rear diffuser plus I really like the looks but I cant find a kit online made for non JCW R56's, also is the JCW aero bumper a direct fit on a non JCW R56, I am not opposed to replacing the rear bumper if that's needed but Id love to find an easier less expensive way.....thanks for any input

Ok, to answer again, you will need the AeroII JCW rear bumper to fit this on. Also, if your R56 is a non- S model, you will need to modify the exhaust system for it to work. If you already have the "S" model, then switch out the rear bumper and add the GP diffuser.

There you go! Keep you eyes peeled, sometimes you can get lucky with the market place or Ebay. Push come to shove, you can always buy a new one off ECS.

ive been hoping for a solution for this as well since a painted aero rear bumper can cost $$ plus the gp diffuser. Ive been on the hunt for a dark silver one for months... good luck Ill let you know if i see a black one (same for you if you find a dark silver!)

Will do, I am going to find a used gp2 diffuser kit and purchase in the next couple weeks and just look into seeing how much will be involved in cutting/modifying my bumper currently....I believe there are clips and attaching points from the diffuser to the bumper but I am not sure I will update the thread when I get the diffuser.

Yes you will need the JCW rear aero bumper and it will be a direct bolt on to your car. Then the Rear diffuser kit will bolt right onto it with no cutting. That is the only way to do it right.
