JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 2nd Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs are discussed.
We just placed our order last weekend for our MCS We are wanting to see some pictures of the JCW Aero Kit installed. We have heard so many different things as far as having them installed and painted: at the dealer, self, local shop, at the port, ect.
We did a search but couldn't find a good list with pictures and info! Hopefully this will be a good spot for everyone to put their JCW info and pics on here to help others in their decisions!!
If you could please post a picture and then tell us how you got it painted, installed, pricing, ect.
Go to my gallery and you will find some pics of the JCW aero kit on an R56 mfg 2/07 installed 6/07
Hey Thanks for the reply!! Just wondering did you have it done at your dealer??? Our dealer quoted us $2500, but we have heard of people getting it for $1900 or so................ Just trying to check out our best option!!

The dealer, New Country of Hartford invoiced the work. However, I am told they "let it out" to a body shop on Brainerd Road in Hartford for body work. The actual invoice was $1614 for parts, $784 labor and "other" $100=$2498.53.
Most people think this is an easy job but it reqires more than meets the eye. As the kit contains grills, grill trims, bumpers, sill plates, painting to match, baking the paint and remounting the fogs there is much to be done. I am not a "body man" , errrr for cars that is, I left it to those who know what they are doing. I did, however use the brakelight kit from Minspeed to energize the rear fogs which now serve as additional tail and brakelights.
I ordered mine with the car. Everything was installed at the VDC. However, I requested to keep all the old parts. I took them home when I picked up the car (in my truck).

You should DEF. extend those sport stripes on down to the aero kit...black extended would look ALMOST as good as my white
