JCW Aero Front on Clubman

I've seen a few pictures. Can anyone confirm this is a direct fit? If so can anyone provide me with details?

Thanks,

From what I've read on here; it's a direct bolt on.

I was just on the Mini Configurator and I could not find the JCW aero kit under the available options when starting the build using the JCW clubman. Does anyone have an answer for this?

No good answer as of yet, probably either not perfected or in production yet (I am sure it will be soon though) or the IT department forgot to add that feature to the "build and price" section of the Website. It has only been on for a few days so give it some time! I am sure though that it will be a direct bolt on just as the rest of the JCW kits and parts are.

I have a neighbor with a red JCW Cooper S Conv. He said it was money down the drain.

Can you explain further why it was "money down the drain" ?

Also, are we talking about the JCW body kit or the JCW engine kit?

There is no "JCW body kit" for the convertible. Just an OEM aero kit. The JCW aero kit is only available for the R56 and the front facia from the JCW aero kit fits the R55 Clubman just fine. Here's a pic of ours:

I don't recall what it all came too. Several hundred dollars and then paint. I put it together and hung it myself at a buddies house (with his help). The rest of the kit for the Clubman is supposed to be released fairly soon.

not a problem, now the real question is how did the clubman get a lower number than the coupe that came out a year before the clubman

Because the Clubman began its development first. They number them as they initiate development.
