R56/7/8/9 Mini Challenge Race Car Splitters

Hey guys I am trying to gauge interest on this product please let me know if you are seriously interested that way I may be able to bring them to market.

I am currently working to bring these R56 Challenge front splitters to the market. It all depends on the demand that is out there for these items. Please feel free to DM if interested. They will be for ONLY R56 pre-lci JCW front bumper NOT the regular cooper or cooper S bumper or LCI JCW bumpers. They will replace the lower black trim pieces of the bumper. They would be installed the same way the OEM trim is just clipping them right in not bolts or screws required. These will be 100% made in America not the Chinese products that are available on eBay. Again this post is to gage interest in this product and if it would be worth trying to bring to market. Please feel free to message me about any questions you have. Thanks again!

I would be interested, except that bumper has been discontinued from Mini. Only the LCI JCW bumper is currently still available.

I would check your dealership anyways. I got mine replaced last year at the dealership with a Pre-LCI one. They said it had been on the shelf since 2010....so you never know worth a shot!

So is the jcw lip staying and this is an addition? You might get more interested if this replaced the jcw lip, I for one might be one of them with my s bumper. I think you’d be able to get all 3 models if you did and not pigeon hole yourself into just one.

No this is a complete replacement. We have not put it on yet because I hit something in the road the next day and am trying to sort that all out. So yes it completely replaces the JCW lip. As far as all the other models. The cooper S bumper is very different from the JCW on the bottom and would not be as simple as rearranging the tabs. And I am currently trying to find someone local who has a LCI JCW bumper so we can see how far off it is to that one.

Might be quicker and easier to just pick up one of these to compare:

I’d be in for two of these Challenge splitters for sure. Possibly a third.

Interested!

Hello!

I PM/emailed you a week or two ago and haven't heard back but following up again as I would REALLY love to get my hands on one of these!! I had one on my Mini I drive now and a deceptively deep puddle ripped it clean off and now I can't find anything to replace it with anywhere. PLEASE contact me if/when you see this!

Thanks,
Chris

Hello,

We have the Carbon Fiber version On Piece here, which you can get and will be here for a while. Those genuine ones are nla and only i think some people are making on the side in fiberglass. Might not match.

You would have to upgrade to the 3/2012+ factory design bumper as seen in the picture below.
