I watched a video on the install of the JCW Pro rear diffuser on a JCW rear bumper. It looks like the bottom valence is completely removed prior to installing the JCW pro. The Cooper S has the same exact shape cutout I believe so I'm wondering if it could be fitted on a Cooper S bumper.

 

Just for the JCW bumper. Looks close but does not line up from what i have seen. The JCW Pros are now shut off to USA dealers. So we are pretty much on the only ones that can get them.

So the interesting thing is that I emailed ECS regarding this and they actually claim that it DOES fit the S bumper. I'm curious if that's just because some special models like the one you posted are Cooper S that came from factory with the JCW bumper.

 

It is technically correct, albeit misleading, that it will fit a Cooper S, but only one that has the JCW appearance package

 

Speaking of which, was this "JCW appearance package" only in certain markets?

 

Yes, S with JCW bumpers.
" Attaches to the JCW rear aero bumper"

 

sadness to only have basic Cooper S bumpers. Aftermarket bumper related everything for F56 is all JCW

 

Yep, you would just have to

1. Convert to JCW bumper upper portion and paint, Genuine MINI parts
2. Convert/Wait for ECS JCW Pre LCI body kit then get the Pro kit : https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part...jcwbodykit~ec/
3. Wait for the Bremmen Parts JCW LCI2 body kit and skip the JCW pro : https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bremmen-...jcwbodykitlci/

 

If I could find a used front/rear JCW bumper in Moonwalk Grey I would pick it up.

 

Sometimes you can find them in the marketplace here used, One person just posted up his F56 SE bumpers. What I would do it get an aftermarket kit and paint it. If i can find a F56 in Volcanic Orange it would look sweet with our LCI 2 JCW kit.

Tweedbeen did his with Oem parts

 

Ya I watch Tweedben's channel. That LCI 2 looks mean. I was thinking about doing the SE conversion that the guy is selling but the rear bumper is useless and the front doesn't have brake ducts.

 

I like the backend also on the F56 JCW LCI2, the diffuser looks a little more aggressive and wider.

rear end on LCI2 looks awesome. It extends it out more so the shape of the car becomes more pronounced.

 

Yep +1
