R50/53 JCW kit for r53?
There are a bunch of different "kits" for both R50,52 and 53.
Sport Brake Kit
Sport Suspension Kit
CF Dash/down tube kit
Upgrade kit - Intake/injectors and ECU Disk kit ( about $750.00 )
Tuning Kit - ( about $4,200.00US )
Exhaust System ( about $750.00 incl resonator )
Aero Kit option for all MINI's ( Primer - $1,100.00 )
Check any MINI dealer site and accessory page. Not all their accessory pages are the same, some have different parts listed so you may have to shop at diff dealerships web sites to find what you want.

Really depends on what you're after. Owning a JCW, here's my take:
Sport brake kit: It's ok, but there are better options for the money, although perhaps not as nice looking. May be able to find these used. Also, if it's just the brakes you're after, the stock R56 brakes are one and the same, just not painted that pretty red, and those can be had cheaper new or used.
Suspension: also can be bought used. The JCW suspension is quite good, not bad for the money.
Tuning kit: Only upside is the warranty, IF it's still warrantied this far out (probably have to be a dealer install). The CAI is great, the rest is way overrpriced--you can get far better performance for significantly less money, if that's what you're after.
Exhaust: I've always liked the JCW exhaust, but that's subjective. Many times these can be found used as well.
After this spring, the only JCW parts that will still be on my car is the CAI and exhaust. Knowing now what I didn't know then, I would go a different route than a pure JCW...
