Hi everybody,

I have JCW carbon dash (5 pieces) from my pro facelift 04 mcs that i sοld last month.
This month i bought a 05 facelift car.
Will the profacelift's jcw dash fit to my facelift?

Thanks!!

 

It won't be a direct fit because most of the attachment tabs will be different, but the panels should be a compatible size. To replace 3 panels with 5 panels doesn't cause a problem with the passenger side airbag (can't do it the other way around -- replace 5 panels with 3). So you won't be able to just snap them on but I think you can make it work if you find a way to securely attach the panels.

 

so i'll be the first to try it??

Thank you very much!!

 

Basically take your 3 dash panels off and study how/if you can securely attach the 5 pieces. The center panel might almost be compatible except that the older version is secured with a screw on the bottom but the facelift version only uses snap on clips.

 

Sorry to say, they are not the same. Airbag panel is different.

You can always remove your 05's three piece dash and send it to these guys. They do excellent work, and is cheaper than JCW 3 pc dash, under $300.00US I think.

Personally, I think our MINI's have enough rattles and dash creaks w/o adding to it by modding a dash to a car it was not designed....my 2 pennies.
