Has anyone had their JCW aerokit during a winter in the snow? The clearance is so low and it concerns me. I'm not sure how it'll work out when the snow comes in a few months.

 

Is the front bumper actually lower?

 

The bumper guard on the aerokit is much lower than the stock bumper.

 

I kept the stock front bumper cover assembly and I'm going to switch it out in the winter. It looks like there are just a few clips and fasteners involved. It's not just the low clearance, but also the shape that concerns me. You need to ride up over those berms that the plows leave here in Massachusetts and the JCW front assembly would likely get trashed. With all of the aero kits being installed, you might even be able to find one on e-bay in your color.

 

Um I'm pretty sure that both OEM kits (aero and JCW aero) are not really any lower than stock. They look lower because they are fully painted, but they aren't actually any lower.

 

 

Those pics are deceiving since one is in grass and one is on concrete, but the JCW is actually significantly lower.

 

Actually it isn't, they have the same clearance, you have to count the inner piece that hangs low behind the outer lip of stock. May not look it in the pics (actually looks like stock is lower) but they have the same clearance.
