GP spoiler is from fubrication. got it from aaron @ outmotoring but it took 7 months to get. I definitely recommend it for quality, just make sure they have one in stk if you want one.

Good for you! My dad always wanted a classic Thunderbird and never got one. I got my Mini (now 2 at the same time) because I vowed to never let that happen to me. Congratulations. Stay in touch with everyone!

Tx for the welcome

Like the title says. It's nice to be welcomed into the group.

Pictures sure tell the story. Everyone (Mini-folk) has their variations on the theme... colors, extras etc. But we all share the same feeling... love our Mini(s)

The front bumper would be the same for a Clubman as it would be for a Hardtop. Any in the NAM marketplace stating R56 would work then. Side skirts....well. New, can probably be found at Outmotoring or other aftermarket houses.

I don't know how likely it would be to find a used JCW aero bumper... I think most would be ditching their stock bumpers for the JCW. Having said that, I did see a JCW aero rear bumper for sale in the marketplace once but it was only their for about a day and was gone. If I remember, it was a guy who had bought it with the intent of installing it and then had to sell his MINI. I still would keep an eye on the market place, just not sure you would ever see one.

You may want to try what I did - get a hold of the body shop that does the work for your MINI dealership and ask them to put together a cash price for the job. I was pleasantly surprised that their price was better than my local body shop...

Just curious how much you were quoted for the cash price?

Only mods so far since this photo are aero wiper blades (which are so much better than the standard ones) & a carbon fibre stubby aerial. Cars in dealer having timing chain changed at the moment. Looking to get Brembo drilled discs, paint calipers, fit OCC, flexi turbo oil line & get seats retrimmed with black leather & white piping. If & when it gets done I'll post the pics up

Thanks. That's the same price as my local body shop. Would have made the trip down to LI if had been a bit lower.
