Picked up my JCW aero kit today from my dealer. I decided to paint & install it myself and save some money.... Only ordered my JCWa week ago and it seems like a month....going to lay some paint down tonight.

Here is the kit....looks like nice quality stuff. Can't wait to get the parts in the spray booth. Will post some pictures afetr there all done

 

I think this belongs in the 2nd Gen section but props to you if you're sprayin the paint yourself!

 

Yes it does, thanks....I asked the mods to move it for me....I have a paint shop so is not a big deal

 

i hate all you guys with the ability/skill/equipment,etc to paint your own stuff :(

don't mind me... i'm just jealous :(

 

Been doing this a long time......thats the only reason I can do it...we layed the first coat of paint on the front bumper

 

Nice! RedBull is that your GF in your AVY picture?

 

YES....and you can't have her number

 

Looks sweet I am stil trying to decide if i want to spend the chunk of change to get it on my JCW which is enroute at the time. Did you ever look into how much it woudld cost just to have it painted then install it yourself?

If only i knew that i had the 2500 to have the VDC do it.

 

There ya go.

 

No only because I do all my own paint work....we have a shop. That is me spraying the parts. The cost to do all the parts would be around $1500 give or take depending on the shop and the type of material they use. I only use PPG Deltron 2000 series paints that cost considerably more than some others out there.

 

Very cool... is the painting thing a hobby or your job? How much money$$$ does that save??

 

I have a shop that caters to Corvettes...custom paint & performance parts. We will be a vendor on NAM in the next 4 weeks or so. Its about a $1500 give or take $500 depending on who does it and what material they use.

 

Just Finished the Final Clear Coat...going to start the other parts in the afternoon.

 

Wow. You are an olden times guy.

 

Jimmy, do we call the Circus in on this one?

 

The door sills still have the old JCW Badge on them. Does it match the badges they sent you for the front and rear bumpers?

I know that they screwed this up on the Factory JCW Car. I pointed it out to my dealer. Nobody else had even noticed yet. I thought it was pretty funny but if I'd bought that car, I'd have been pissed that the logos weren't the same across the entire car.

Hopefully yours match.

Regards

 

Great color! Same as the JCW I picked up today!

 

Thats awesome! I want the JCW aero kit (who doesnt), and have plans to buy it WAAAAAYYYYY down the road.

Congrats on your Mini Redbull. Your sure to enjoy it. Oh, and you have a hot girlfriend, too.

 

You know this guy would not last 5 minutes with the circus.....he would have to sell his Mini..be like taking candy from a baby
>>>>>TAZIO <<<CIRCUS

 

MMMM..I look somewhat younger than you buddy...I am pushing 44...YOU!!



Warning Circus members present

 

The only JCW bits that came with the JCW Aero kit were the door sills. I ordered a JCW so I just thought the badging would transfer over. I think its only one badge on the front lower grill...that back badge is on the hatch...I think..correct me if I am wrong.

 

Do you have a Factory JCW or the Dealer Installed JCW Tuning Kit?

I have the DITKit. I have the front badge on the lower grill and the badge on the hatch.

If you have the Factory JCW Car (which has the badge that you have in your signature) then the door sills in your first picture have different badges.

Regards

 

Hello
I ordered the JCW direct from the factory and purchased the JCW Aero kit seperatly to save myself some money. I have a paint shop and a lift so I didn't mind doing the work.

 

Duplicate threads merged (this one in 2nd Gen JCW Garage and another in 2nd Gen Coupe Talk). Red Bull, please do not cross-post in the future!

 

Sorry...I asked the mods to correct it. I made a mistake when I posted the first thread.
