Well, two things there. Yeah if you get just the skirts they order every little thing as a spare part rather than a kit. Hence the ridiculous cost. I know as I sat there and watched them use their god-aweful retro computer system to work out a price.

The actual JCW skirts are about $800 in the US but we can't get them to ship to Australia. The third-party stuff linked actually looks the same and is proper ABS too.

But I think I speak for most of us regarding the R56 aero kit in saying that the bumper and the scoop just aren't very attractive. I don't even see this as a slight value booster at all, I simply wouldn't put that stuff on my car. Oh and shipping of multiple entire JCW aero kits? I shudder to think. It's pretty much impractical.

Incidentally the full third party kit, of which these skirts are a part, is really quite good looking. The first third party one I think I've seen that is?
