2012 paintable side skirts.....

I have searched online, the JCW body kit says available on build date up to 3/2012, and my build date was 4/2012......I really hate that plastic and want side skirts, any help would be great!

I have the factory JCW Coupe and mine is a 2014, build in 2013. It should be available for your car. Ask your dealer.

I had the kit put on my 13 S with no issue from the dealer.

You want the full primed kit then to paint. the 3/2012+ JCW Aero kit for the R56 is the same design for the all R58 and R59 w/ PDC of course?

dube53 - this is the same kit that's on your factory JCW. Painted with the lower black trim exposed to math the wheel arches. They want the full primer look.

Its called the blackband version. And made for the Aero II kit which is pre 8/2010 for this R56 / R57. The font 3 peiece lip of the 3/2012 kit does not come primed version to paint, wheel arches do, and side skirt possible if the whole side skirt is replaced and the rear lower part of the wheel arch I can get primed. It that front 3 peiece lip that would have to be sanded and painted to give R58 an R59 models with the 3/2012+ the full painted look.

Example on a R56.

Thanks for your comment. Does a kit exist for just the wheel arches to be painted body color? In my opinion, the OEM black textured plastic is really cheap and a chore to keep clean. When its stained, forget it no matter the plastic trim or vinyl product you may use.

You could get the primed version wheel arches and have them painted. You will still have that front lower lip textured. No kit but I could give you that parts.

#2 and #10 sets primed L&R sides.
