Hi i just wondered if there are any modifications that i need to make to fit my R56 COOPER with the JCW SPOILER or is it a matter of un screwing the Nuts and Washers then reinstalling the JCW one, as in the PDF instructions for retro fitting any replacement spoiler for the R56 you have to pull of the rear window seal, then have to buy a new one then reinstall it. Is this true or can you just swap like for like?

Cheers for your help in advance guys.

As far as I am aware it is just a case of unscrewing the bolts that hold the Cooper Spoiler on and then screwing the JCW spoiler on.

Not sure about the R56 but the previous JCW spoiler had to be glued onto R53s and the screw holes covered with little pluggy things, so don't assume the new one just screws on

The new R56 one simply bolts on as airbus stated...no glue or plugs etc.

Ok so i don't need to uninstall the rear window seal then reinstall it? Joe

As far as I am aware you do not have to uninstall the rear window.

I dont know if its the same (presume it is) I swapped my cooper spoiler for a cooper s one, and only had to unscrew 4 dolts. Dont think its like the GP one where you have to get the boot out!

If you are looking for a JCW spoiler there is one on ebay!

airbusA346 · Feb 2nd, 2008, 07:16 PM

No it is not like the GP one because you attach the R56 JCW spoiler just like you would for the Cooper or Cooper S spoiler.

Cheers guys. Have it coming on monday so will let everyone no how it goes on. So anyone in future with the same question can know for sure.

Many Thanks. Joe

Have Mini solved the noise issues with the spoiler at high speed yet?

Tara&Paul · Feb 3rd, 2008, 02:05 PM

At what speed does the JCW rear spoiler actually become effective?
