I ran those for a couple years. Year 1 they were fabulous, sticky wet and dry, year two was okay, year three they made so much noise I'd get headaches. Threw the winter set on in August. Still, they did look nice.

I am looking for a R56 S model rear bumper in dark silver for a 2009 Mini. I would also consider a complete JCW areo kit in dark silver if anyone has one they would sell. I am in southern CA 91789zip (Diamond Bar area). I know I could go to local dealer for parts but I was hoping someone might have a dark silver painted bumper or JCW areo kit to avoid time and cost of painting. Please PM me if you have any parts or info. Thanks in advance.

Picked this up a little over a month ago. 03 MCS / fully loaded minus NAV.

How it sits today..

Focal F-10 17x7 + 40 rims, General UHP 205/40/17 tires, blacked out headlight rings, blacked out scoop, 5% tint all around.

Alta intake, and mesh upper/lower grille on the way!
