I was wondering if anybody knew if the R53 and R56 side skirts are the same dimensions and/or are interchangible. I have an R56 with the JCW Aero kit, but the link below shows a guy with an R56 with GP1 side skirts and I would love to add them to my car:

Possible it could be done, they are generally the same. I don't have the exact lentgh of each one to see if they line up with arches to arch. The under body part I believe has different alignment holes and connections.

Might take some work but possible.

 

How much do the GP1 side skirts cost? I think I'll take the chance and try to apply them, but I need to budget out the money first (and do some measuring).

 

Here is the list of parts for the GP1 Side skirts ( 2006 MINI GP ). This is the total list of parts and hardware from the original GP. Parts that need painted are primed.

These are the GP door sill covers: Which one is used for each door. But that's if you want to use that style otherwise any other R50-R57 door sill will work.
