Hello All,
Replacing my fenders & saw a picture of R53 with the fenders modified for brake venting. Looked good. Where can buy 'em?? ?

 

I think Way motorworks has fiberglass brake ducts. On our track car I used part of a funnel and some flexible tubing: it worked a charm

 

Ya, saw that. Saw the pic but don't see the sale.. .

Heres the link. $275 going once, going twice......sold?

 

Did you mean this mini?



Think these were either limited production or custom

 

Yes someone made a few sets of those years ago, but not available now.

 

Yup, those are the fenders. Will have to ask Way tomarrow. Can't find them anywhere out here. End up making them bet.. .

 

-=gRay rAvEn=- did something similar recently:



Shoot him a PM for more info....

 

i like it the look, and is cleaner for the car... where can i buy one!

 

I'm not sure where -=gRay rAvEn=- got his -- I'm trying to find out -- but it looks like the ones in the first photo (or at least something similar) are available through Mini Mania.

 

I love those fenders, but at $895, i think i'll pass.

 

A guy in our club just had those vented fenders installed. Got them from M7, they were very limited production run. May want to call them? It's not an easy or cheap install though, and the vents don't actually go thru to the wheel well. You can cut the inner liner and they will, but then everything gets into the door also Looks cool on his car though

 

Good find, didn't know they still had those.

 

These do not help with brake cooling. All they do is add a bit of bling and a bit of air extraction from above the wheel liner. Not an area that gets lots of air.

 

If anyone has a good pair of these for sale, i'll take them off your hands-just not at $895-lol.

 

These were a limited production few years back, made of fiberglass, and have not seen them for sale recently.

As posted above, making them functional would probably make for real dirty door panels though. Nice thing about this design, there
was no need to relocate the water bottles behind the panel.....

 

Very cool, nice and subtle. I have been kicking this around for awhile now, putting these Jaguar hood vents on, just need some cojones

 

I wonder if a good sheetmetal shop can put in some vents in the stock fenders? HMMMMMM

 

And everyone called me a thief when I tried to sell a spare set I imported for $500.

Have a set on my car as well and as far as letting air escape from the wheel wheel these are not the fenders needed. The openings are to small and in not in the proper area. One would also need to modify the wheel wheel as well to open these up. Looked at doing that and there just did not seem to be flow desired for the work involved.

 

I like Can only imagine the cost. Would it work as a side skuttle - what production model is that for ? Have you looked it up ?

 

Those vents above are off the latest Jag XK and are not that expensive. I think they run in the neighborhood of 80 bucks or so.

Look at the hood here, you will see two of them.

 

I'd like too see a set of those on a hood. Are they functional or just for looks?

Thanks

 

Nate is correct, I work near a Jag dealer and stopped in, they had them in stock and were $79. each. Yes they are functional. Looks like they would fit right along side of the bulge in our hoods?

 

Thanks for the info..

 

You posted about these at some point, that would be where I remember it from. Talk about storing what some would say is useless knowledge.
