How the heck did that happen?

We're painting a first gen for a friend of mine. (we actually traded out work... he's a cabinet maker and I obviously own a bodyshop)

Here's the car in pearl white. (black roof to come)





One of things we did was get a JCW bodykit.

So here's the pieces...







Aren't the side skirts and front bumper JCW trim? The rear bumper looks like a justacooper bumper?

Can anyone verify the side skirts and front bumper cover?

If the rear bumper is justacooper, how the heck did it get into a factory box with JCW side skirts and front bumper?

Thanks,

Mark

That is a JCW aero kit for a justa cooper. That rear bumper will not fit his car because of the exhaust opening. the front bumper and side skirts will fit fine.

Guess I'm screwed... I'll have to buy the rear bumper by itself. I remember outmotoring offering one for an R56, I hope they make one for an R53.

Thanks,

Mark

Heh, Looks like a prime opportunity for some custom Clubman type exhaust for that S. Just a cut and some Fiberglass work away. Although I have no idea what really goes into doing that, as I've read about people doing it, just not how to do it. But if anyone can do it well, its you, Mark.

That's going to look HOT when you are done....Out motoring has just the bumber too.. just make sure you pick the "S" and PDC or no PDC.
