Retrofit R55 to R53 Aeroskirts

Is it possible to retrofit a R55 Aero side skirts to an R53 Mini ? Read about fitting R56 one’s and the wheel trim is 3/4” larger but, can be trimmed to match and requires minimal trimming in door jamb area. Thanks

I would think R55 Clubman skirts are going to be too long for an R53

I was thinking that the R55 & R56 were the same length but,the Clubman appears to be longer , without measuring car.

R55 is roughly 9 inches longer than the R56

Thanks for the measurement on your Clubman.
