Just installed the JCW Brake Ducts kit

I finished them for a little over one hour. I am so happy with the look of them.

Would you care to pass along any lessons learned, lessons identified? And did you generally follow the examples posted here? Exactly the same look I'm after, too.

Cheers!!

I generally followed the examples posted here. It is pretty easy and straight forward. I am not sure it will do any good on the regular driving but on the track.
Now the front end looks more aggressive

I dont think it will fit on your car. It fits only 2007- up cooper / cooper S model w/ JCW body kit.

I installed the JCW Aero upgrade kit yesterday on my R56. Everything in the install is streight forward, I noticed a problem: The location of the air temperature sensor on the upgrade kit grill interfers with the steel cross brace behind the front bumper. I took the front bumper off again and I noticed that the air temperature sensor with connector interfers with the cross brace.

What is the solution to this problem?

Thanks, Don
