JCW jcw gp 2 diffuser
#326
I noticed that I only have one possible place on the drivers side to bolt the unit onto the bracket. I have already clipped it all in and screw the ends in with the screws but on the passenger side there was no bracket of anything to but that side of the diffuser into anything. Anyone else have the same issue?
After installing it, while I know there are a lot of bolts and screws used to mount it, I highly recommend using all the available mounting points to secure it. Even so much as to purchasing the underbody panels to attach the front end of the diffuser properly to. Afterall this was made for a GP and we are all retro-fitting it to our cars.

Agreed! Without the under panels I'm not so sure the diffuser will be much more than a decorative accessory. In fact it may hinder aerodynamics since it accentuates the parachute effect that the stock "diffuser" allows. That's a fairly large scoop being created for all that high pressure air moving under the car to get trapped behind.

InVisib0L- I just ordered the set of parts one number at a time from TheBMWPartStore, so we'll see how things go. I mean this is at least $100 less than other places, so I'm optimistic. It will be going on my 2012 Coupe JCW I bought last weekend, as seen here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123
I think the diffuser will really complement the looks and performance of this vehicle, and helps break up the vertical thickness of the rear bumper. I'll probably throw $100 at my brother to take care of the install for me on his friend's lift, and still I'll be at 1/3 of the price I've read other people's dealers charging for parts + installation labor.
Anyways, great thread here guys, hence why I joined just to make this post, giving thanks and saying I'm taking the plunge on this upgrade as well.

Yeah, it should be at my front door on Monday. I'll take pictures. But at $244 shipped, it's pretty nice. Just be aware it's going to take about a month though. They order on an as-needed basis.

I got an email back from TheBMWPartStore saying they should be able to ship all the items in 3-5 days, so hopefully that means they already had some arriving at their USA warehouse, and will be shipping from THERE to me starting in 3-5 days? Or if it's starting on its way from Germany in 3-5 days, hopefully not, but worth the wait for the savings!

This is what I came home to...
