I did search but can't seem to find anything...is there a thread or a PDF floating around the forum with an installation how to for the 07-08 JCW Aero Kit? I'm painting one for a fellow member and would like to install it for her as well. Most of it is very straightforward but there are a few random plastic pieces that I wouldn't even be able to guess where they go lol.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch, i'll turn this thread into a step by step how to for painting and installing for anyone on here too...

 

That would be greatly appreciated by many who are contemplating the Aero Kit and want to install it themselves. Thanks

 

Ok so here's some progress pics of the painted kit pieces

Before: They come already primered so I scuffed them down with 800 grit and sealed them.

 

Then the Pepper White basecoat:

 

Then last but not least, a couple good coats of clear coat!

 

Now to assemble everything. All the pieces came with the kit. I snapped everything together that the install intructions said you can put together first. As you can probably tell I painted the lower rear valence a nice semi-gloss black instead of white so it ties the lower edge of the kit together much better.

 

Now comes the hard part of actually installing the kit. I need to get everything outside in the sunlight to verify the coverage is what I wanted it to be, and make sure everything is completely cured and ready to go.

Paint Supplies used:
3M 800 Grit HookitII DA paper on a hand DA pad
Tack cloths
Plastic parts prep clean (6386 Martin Senour)
complete grey sealer TP520
Tec Base urethane basecoat (with reactive stabilizer)
ipc15 Air Bake clear coat
Oh and of course I used my Sharpe Titanium primer gun with a 1.8mm tip
and for the basecoat and clear I used my Iwata LPH400LVX with the basecoat cap or the clear coat cap...
I also use and love the 3M PPS disposable cups system
Oh and a bunch of thinner for cleanup of my guns afterwards lol.

 

Looking good. Keep us posted on the progress.

 

Yes, Can't wait to see a photo of it on the Mini.

 

Ended up painting all the arches gloss black along with all the textured black finish from the factory on the rest of the kit. Looks freaken awesome. Mini*In*Flux came over last night and between the two of us it was installed in a whopping 3 hours lol. Removing the old stuff was probably the hardest part. She took some progress pics and whatnot but it was dark by the time we were done, hopefully she'll get some good day time pics and post them....came out great!

 

Colin did an amazing job!

I have uploaded the pictures I took in my gallery. Unfortunately, as Colin mentioned we ran out of daylight. I am hoping for some nice weather today to take pictures of the completed JCW kit on Kirky.

 

That is looking great!!!!

Does anyone have a parts and price list needed for installing just the front bumper and grill from the JCW aero kit?

Thanks

 

Just posted photos of the installed kit in the gallery! LOVE IT!!!!

Performance_Angst e-mail Morristown Mini for the front bumper, I originally wanted to get only the side skirts and they were willing to ship them separately.

 

Thanks I was looking for this myself
