anyone tried to fit a R56 bumper to a R53?
I want to change my R53 front bumper to the aero bumper and i wonder if it's possible to fit the R56 bumper to a R53. i know it means changing the grills also but could it be done without major modifications?:confused:
|
in short, no..not w/o major mod.. but it has been done. i am working on a gen2 jcw front bumper. you have to cut it and fuse it with a gen 1 :) look at both and it will be easier to understand. good luck! there is someone making it i see on facebook but sorry can't remember it's name. i'll get back to you if i see it again.

Front plate needs to go but otherwise this looks perfect IMO.

Is that just the stock look on a Japanese spec R53?

im continually surprised that these minis are so popular in Japan! so many bad-A parts there!
why is that? :confused: just bc of the tuning scene? heck, seems like any car that is "sporty" but not quite as popular here has a huge parts list over there! |
You'll be amazed to what extent the enthusiasts over there will go. Quality is usually top notch. Tastes may vary though. Some are just way over the top. So with the prices. :sad:

I used the google -- over on Motoring Alliance - there is a user named Professor. I think he might have posted here once or twice too.

Khanfucious - That's a GP front fascia. Not an R56.
|
Sorry -- you are completely right -- I think to the OP -- if you want a similar look to the R56..I think a bit of work with smoothing out a GP front bumper might be the easiest route. ..that would emulate an R56.

Where is this bodykit from?

Hello here are the options:
This is the R56 JCW Aero side skirts: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-to-r53-2.html This is the R53 GP front bumper set up: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-bumper-2.html R53/R52 Cooper S/JCW Aero front bumper: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...roduction.html R56 Aero to R53: People have made the R56 JCW aero kits front bumper work with some mods and fitting, i would have to find the thread, all we have left is the Aero III kit. Lots of the Aero I and Aero II R56 JCW front bumpers/parts are NLA. Pretty much the brake ducts and some of the parts behind the bumper will need not used or trimmed as you can see in the Aero I JCW body kit video above. https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/51117283329/ https://assets.ecstuning.com/product...1381_x800.webp |
