I will second what jkapinos said. It fits, no clearance issues at all. The problem is Akrapovic doesn't know it fits, perhaps because they never got a Roadster to install it on. I am also running the the Akra Down Pipe. The quality and performance of these parts is top notch.

A black plastic screw. It comes off the stock flooring and then the pedal board just screws in the stock location.

The carbon fiber tips are Akrapovic pieces. When you purchase their exhaust you have a choice between Titanium and Carbon Fiber tips. I don't know if they can be made/modified to fit the stock exhaust.

Thanks guys
Just get a car air compressor pump like I did. Usually, even if you do a nail, it is a slow enough leak that you can pump it enough to get to a tire store, or whatever you use. I've been running NON run flats since day three on my JCW. Actually last summer, I didn't put the TPS whatever thing and still didn't have any problems. I just checked the tire pressure once a month. No leaks on my Motegi Racing wheels. 16 lbs. too. Going to put them on my coming S Roadster, although I'm painting them closs black, that and increase the tire size to 215 x 45 x 17 non run flats again. That and keep the air compressor from Lil Guy.
] I put the same, but DWS, on my Crossfire. I had an issue on the highway and the tire came off the rime and shredded it. I had to have Darth Vader towed and replace the tire @ $330 [19"]. Best idea if no run flats is a can of slime AND a doughnut. Just my two cents. 
Way Motor Works - just remember that the spare tire will only fit on the rear wheels (especially if you have the big brake kit). Here is the link:

Yep. Almost half the cost of purchasing the whole exhaust system w/tips included. I thought about these too, but ended up going with the engraved JCW tips.
The price is undoubtedly an effective way for Akrapovic to discourage posers...or to profit off of them.

Where did you get the diffuser from? What was the cost?
I really fell in love with the look of the GP2 Diffuser.
Problem was, I have a Cooper Roadster and even though I have the Factory JCW Trim, the passenger-side muffler and single tail pipe made consideration of the diffuser quite problematic.
So there was only one thing to do. I'm guessing it might be the only R59 of its kind -- which I like.

Mine was murdered two years ago on 6/15. I don't suppose you have any cool parts for a 04 Crossfire?

As Way states, he's a good source.
Since I had asked Chad at DT to do the extensive exhaust system fabrication work to accommodate the diffuser on my MC Roadster, I just picked up a diffuser that they had in stock at the time. Comparable price and no shipping.
