Saw that a few weeks ago, $2000 straight pipe!

I'd like those diffusers and the lip though.

 

No Challenge wing .

 

Actually, I have e-mailed them about the Challenge Wing, they said they could get it, but it will cost 2500 pounds and it's not even made in carbon...

 

Now I am even more glad that I got the M7 C-Wing in CF over Christmas for a nice price. I paid a little over $1000 with shipping for it.

EDIT "2500 pounds??" That is insane.

 

That's a confusing currency.

 

I know heh...even if it was $2000USD, I could still think about it...but 2500 pounds is like $4000USD, that's way too expensive for a spoiler in FRP.

But you noticed how the front lip and diffusers are not too expensive? I think it's because people break those a lot during track days and races, hence MINI sells more of those as compared to the spoiler, which I don't think very many replaces them. But now that the public can buy these challenge parts, I think the spoiler may eventually come down in price. Perhaps it will be affordable in a year or two? I can only HOPE for that right now!

 

OK. You got me. I made a typo. I corrected it.

 

The Challenge Spoiler along with some other new parts are officially available there now! Check out the link in the first post!

 

I'd like to get the diffusers and splitter too. I recently bought my JCW aero kit from them.

 

so what about the Mini Challenge Exhaust System, System from the downpipe back, does it fit 2011 jcw without any modification?

 

I don't see why it wouldn't fit, even though you could have the same thing custom made for a couple hundred bucks.

 

^I agree. You can get a great aftermarket exhaust for a fraction of that price. Also, the Challenge exhaust is VERY loud. Possibly louder than you're willing to live with on a daily basis.

Then again, loud is subjective.

 

thx for the reply guys .. thats gr8 .. i dont want to face issues with the dealer at least with this exhaust i can discuss n convince them ..

I dont mind .. i want it to be loud .. anyways, this is a future mod. not any time soon .. either challenge full exhaust with Forge FMIC or Evolve downpipe with Forge FMIC .. n the warranty matter which is letting me to step back from the evolve downpipe ...

 

I Wonder What We Are Looking At For Shipping On the Lips And Stuff.... I Want The Diffusers But Im Guessing They Would R*pe Me On Shipping Out to Hawaii

 

And there goes my savings... Why did you guys have to post this?! Haha!!

I NEED that rear section of the exhaust, the lip and the diff.! My goodness the lady is going to mental on me!

 

Post some pics after you install them! Let us know how you fit that muffler! Remember to buy the Challenge Wing too!

 

Just purchased the Challenge Splitter and Diffuser from them. The splitter replaces my first one that came loose on track and was run over...

Haven't attempted to install the diffuser yet. It came with mounting hardware and no instructions. Anyone got installation instructions or diagrams?

Thanks!

 

Can't wait to see pics of it all installed!

Not sure if he's a member here on NAM, but Vegas_Sirk on Motoringunderground installed the Challenge diffusers himself on his R56 when he still had it. You might try to PM him for a quick how-to.

 

Please post pictures of diffuser after you install it!

I wish I was living in UK.... sigh...

 

How long did it take for you to get your parts? Anyone have the airduct turbo cooler?

 

It took about 30 days to get the parts.

 

Sorry for the delay but it has taken me a while to get everything installed. The front splitter is easy. The rear diffuser requires the underbody panels and brackets that are stock on the Euro cars but not on the US cars. It took me quite a while to figure out what was necessary to attach the diffusers but it is FINALLY done.

 

Wow me likey the rear defusers. Your install looks very nice pictures are great. How many hours did you spend installing the rear defusers?

 

I didn't do the installation. I had Bavarian Professionals in Berkeley do the work. The installation was about 6 hours because the underbody panels had to be modified to fit around the X-Brace I have installed. The rear bumper also had to be modified (tabs removed) and I had them cut the bumper insert to fit between the diffusers over the exhaust.
