    Its quite impressive for what it is

    The car feels alot more planted at high speeds

    Plus the radiator is getting extra cooling

    WIN WIN

    I've also noticed a reduction in noise caused from air turbulence / buffeting now that the open cavity has been sealed up... You become accustomed to the noises coming from the front of the MINI... Once they are gone... You can hear the engine noise better... That's also a win...

    Ok, a dumb question for you folks with the under-tray. Does this only work with the JCW from bumper and spoiler, or will it fit on a plain old 07 MCS R56?

    Wondering, always thinking of what to change.

    Thanks, Don

    Yes it will fit...

    There is a small tang that fits a slot that's built into the support under the radiator...

    All of the remaining attachment points are part of the body / frame. Nothing that's JCW specific...

    I'm still amazed that the under tray was an item that's just now being released and it fits mounting points that are in place in my 09 build that weren't even being used for anything... Kind of makes me wonder how early in the development of the R56 was this part contemplated....

    I installed the GP undertray two months ago. I like it and I now need to pick one up with the under paneling to install on my Justa.

    This is why you need the GP2 front under tray and rear diffuser – so you can have a really smooth bottom! :cool:
