JCW Aero Kit(s) nomenclature and variants
Just ordered a JCW Aero kit (ordered a Stage 1 Kit and got a very good deal on both). Now I'm a little confused (even more than usual). On the Accessory site I now see 2 different JCW Airo kits listed. One says "...This version adds colored wheel arches and colred lower sills vs. regular the John Cooper Works Aero Kit...". Don't remember seeing any JCW Aero kits w/painted wheel arches (only the Factory Aero Kit) My part # is 51-19-2-154-738. The list price of $2693.78 on my invoice doesn't match any of the Aero kits on the accessory site too. So which am I getting? Also does this one have the new brake ducts? I was told it came already painted. Does this sound correct?

Can't help much but... I could be wrong but I think the accessory site only lists the unpainted kits for now.
Your list price sounds too high... the pamphlet that I have from Mini (at home... don't have it with me) has the list price for the new painted kits (with all updates) at $1,999. (not counting install)

Actually I believe that calling it Stage 2 is incorrect. It just updated with brake ducts located next to the fog lamps. AFAIK that's the only difference. There does appear to be a new kit coming out that costs more that has painted wheel arches (not to be confused with the factory kit).

Mine should be here is the next day or so. I emailed and asked if it was the new kit. They said they were told it was but until it gets here I won't know for sure since no one knows the part number.
In your photo the trim around the grill is PW and not black (also around you lights isn't chrome but PW). Did you have it painted or did it come this way (I thought they were all black)? Does the kit replace the whole grill (seems like a waist unless they are different sizes) of just the trim piece around it?
Love your wheels too.

Thanks, great news. I'm taking my car in a 7:30 (after I hit the gym) and it should be done by mid afternoon (also having the Stage 1 Kit installed).

Boy MINI really screwed my aero kit up. Took it in on Monday at 7:30 to have the Areo Kit and Stage 1 kit installed and was supposed to be ready before 3:00. Turns out MINI sent the wrong Areo kit, and was the sans PDC kit. So MINI next day shipped a PDC bumper which was (unexpectedly) un-painted. Then the dealer had to paint it Tuesday (now I'll have 3 different paint jobs). Went to install it and it was missing two of the PDC brackets. The best part is there are none in the US and it's being shipped from Germany. So they are getting the car ready for me to pickup (3 days later) and it will be Aero kit with standard rear bumper until the brackets come in (and I have to go through another service call).
Well about to get ready to (literally) run over and pick it up.

Here is a link to purchase the updated items on the Morristown Mini website. It seems the brake duct kit is on sale. The splitters are a decent price too.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Julien321. Getting work done is never fun. Hopefully it will turn out beautiful! Good luck

Actually having the install done right now for no additional charge (thanks Global Imports). What a coincidence the phone just rang and it's ready. About to run (literally) out the door to get it.

I had them match the Morristown MINI's price but I also bought the Tuning Kit at the same time. Global has the Tuning Kit on sale (same as Morristown) now. Give Brandon a call at 678-569-7561 and ask him.
