Well I made my first exterior mod on the Clubby since i bought the R95 JCW 18" s for her.
I fitted a JCW Aerokit Grille to her on Thursday :1icon_cool:
What do ye think?

the grill looks great, is this easy to do, or does the grill need modding before it will fit?

Brian.

JCW Aerokit grill for a petrol Cooper will fit perfectly to a petrol Cooper. But for a Diesel Cooper you have to modify the lower chrome piece on the bumper.

As i was saying in another post, i'm thinking of upgrading the front brake disc's to the type Owen has got for his 'S' recently.
Even though the brakes on the R56/R55 are excellent comparred to the R50 etc, you can never have enough braking power.
As Ger pointed out, for an R56/R55 Cooper, you need R56 'S' front caliper carriers, the new JCW brake disc's-316mm by 22mm-and the upgraded brake pads to suit.
I'll know soon if i'm getting them etc. and will post the photo's of same.
