We don't deal with used parts unless its scratch and dent on our site.
thanks. Ordered. The other parts you’re referring to are the rear bumper cover and side skirts?

I started working on my R53 again and it’s starting to come together.

R53 Aero KIt Parts

I understand your frustration with the lack of JCW parts. If I were you, and wanted to get the parts from a USA vendor ( Florida I believe ) I would check out https://www.allmagautoparts.com/.

They get EVERYTHING. Some times they might not have it on there screen so what I do is call and tell them what your looking for and they do there best to accommodate your request.

Listen, I Like ECS tuning very much and have bought many parts from them over the years. They have an incredible selection and great service.

BUT...you have nothing to loose by checking out this site. I got my complete JCW aero Kit from them, the front , rear, and sides from them 6 months ago for an AMAZING price and no over seas shipping cost or import fees.

Good Luck

PS. I also got another AERO bumper from EBAY U.K. In England they have tons on mini parts , and some times they have 10+ bumpers for sale. The one I got is brand new, came with all the black grills ( bottom and middle) Primed and the only thing I have an issue with is that there is no cut out for the side marker lights

So check out https://www.allmagautoparts.com/ and EBAY U.K.... YOU GOT NOTHING TO LOOSE

no problem . Im sure youll be happy, although now you have to by the grills. The one i got from the UK EBAY was from a manufacturer’s over there that some how made JCW AERO bumpers. It came with the lower and middle grills,all the "hard ware" to mount it, and it was primed. I paid $546.00 with shipping and all.

It did take about 5 weeks to get here, but it did get here.

I would save https://www.allmagautoparts.com/ and check them out in the future. You will be amazed with there selection and service. and like i said they are in Florida .

Good Luck with every thing

I did look, and I don’t want used parts. I’m hoping the upper Aero I have in my stock with be a perfect fit. I had to modify the OEM to accept it.

I understand the "used parts" thing. I really do. I guess its because Ive spent so much coin already, and im not even close to finshed , that if I could save save some substantial money here or there , and not sacrifice quality, I would do it.

The bumpers were getting painted a different color anyway, so any minor scratches , or dings were taken care of by my body guy when he mounted the kit and prepared it for painting.

As for other parts, especially internal ones, I haven’t seen a difference in anything except the price.

The last aero bumper i got was brand new from the company , and i found it on EBAY U.K. That wasnt cheap, but considering the difficulties in locating one, i just went for it.

ECS...Thank you for all of your support.

Is there any update on this Front Aero bumper?

Is it FRP or molded urethane?

What would be needed to take a 2005-MCS and install front bumper on it... brackets, grilles, mounting kits, trims etc?

Thanks again !!

I was liking this Aero Rear bumper for the R50.... wondering if anyone makes a cat-back exhaust for the R50, that has a quieter tone and sufficient diameter to support a stock R53 exhaust needs... Maybe the Factory JCW or Milltec ??

I kind of like the idea of a nice looking single out the back of an R53.... I would imagine that the body of the R53 would have the mounting points for the hangers for an R50 exhaust??

What about the insert for the back bumper....is there a 'honeycomb' piece that goes in there.

The bumper is coming in we sold out of a bunch of them and they are still trying to catch up with the demand.

Its like the stock flexible plastic.

Aero bumper linked above.

Then this : https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...o/51110139106/

Upper bumper grille is nla and so is the factory aero hood grille, these are our aftermarket ones. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part...mcp1-baero~ec/ and or https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part...mcp1-cfaero~e/

Hardware: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/ES73475/ these are on back order now. Needed but i have seen people run without them. Just does not secure the bottom with the wheel well front bottom area.

Install hardware: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/51112311959/



On that rear bumper, they are almost gone, the stickers that go their are nla. We may have sticker in the future aftermarket.

I have seen people convert to the Cooper exhaust on the Cooper S. Any of those exhaust will be fine, you will have to mess with the mounts to work and the larger F56 JCW tips would have to be modded to fit. Also thats a large tip and will come close to rubbing on the aero rear bumper. you would have to test fit.

ECS, does your imported front aero bumper have the marker light recesses in front of the wheels?

Nope, its like the euro bumpers. Just delete them or trim and install, you will have to mod them to attach. Thanks for the mention, added to the product description. .

I prefer the clean look of the euro-spec sidelight delete, to complete the look you can also get the euro-spec rear arch trims.

Just a heads up for anyone watching this thread, I'm about to list a take-off aero front bumper in the for sale section. 2006 R53 JCW. It's in kinda rough shape from road wear, but certainly repairable, particularly if you're going to repaint it. Original color is Pure Silver Metallic. Look for $350 + shipping from California.
The upper grill set, but the car had OEM rally lights, so the hood grill mesh has cuts for that. I do have the rally lights for sale too. Also have the aero side skirts.

We have looked at it and working with suppliers to make this, might be some time as they have to make molds and such.
