JCW Diffuser Fitted! What do you think?

Hi all,

Well it arrived and I have fitted it (not paying them £100 labour to snap a bit of carbon on). But I am not sure wether it is an improvement.

£300 well spent? Or did I just waste my money!

It was silly, But then as far as everyone I know is concerned I am an idiot for spending 26K on a mini when I could have got so many other better things! If only they knew what the carbon bits cost!

Idiots!

Madadd great shot of the Defuser, i'm not a lover of the rear bumper on the JCW kit but with the big pipes and Carbon fibre lower it looks very nice.

Very, very nice!

You cannot put a price on "cool" as "cool" has no price tag!

I agree, although not a fan of the bodykit in general, but the rear bumper benefits greatly from this addition.........................expensive though.

How can they charge £100 for the boot handle that is nearly as big and has all the release mech. and lights and then £300 for this..........

Looks good, but I was hoping to see a diffuser like the JCW cup car has fitted.

I like it money well spent . £100 to fit is outragous.

I think I would've had it wrapped in vinyl instead to get the same general look, but it looks great nonetheless!
