JCW Tower Strut Brace

Does the JCW F56 come with a front tower strut brace? Dealer said yes but did not have a F56 on the lot to show me. They had a clubman that had a square tube tower strut brace.

If the F56 JCW does come with one stock can someone post a picture?

Thanks

I don't think any factory JCW Minis ever came with one. They're for looks mostly is what I always thought.

Both R53 and R56 Factory JCWs came with a front strut tower bar. Dealer JCW kits did not (unless you bought one from them specifically). The F56 does not have one, and the design of the rubber bonnet seal is not very conducive to a brace, as you either have to punch a hole in the seal or press it down with the bar.

Never saw one come with it from the factory other then the JCW GP2, it was always an add-on?
