I just purchased a 2009 JCW R56. The front Aero bumper needs to be replaced. This weekend I was looking underneath at where the mounting bolts are.
Only the lower center bolt hole in the radiator support aligns with the bumper cover. The other 2 bolt locations are off by about 2 inches.
My question is. Are there different styles of supports. Are the JCW radiator support specific to JCW. I'm thinking it was replaced at some point with another model, not a JCW.
I don't want to order a new bumper cover until I'm sure I have the correct support that it bolts to.

 

I believe the support is the same to the s. There are a couple unique front mounting pieces that the aero kit will come with.

You will not be able to get the aero front bumper unless you buy the entire kit and wait a month. Ask me how I know!

Ah just saw you have a r56, not gen1. Maybe gen2 parts are easier to find!

 

Going to move you to the Gen2 area. Our Gen1 noses are allot shorter.
