Strut Bar (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&item=290012000624&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

i know it says it will fit a S just wondering if is the same :D

[Sweeney]

should do, your car is an S with the jcw kit, isn't a seperate car :p

only thing i can think of is perhaps the airfilter may be larger or the engine cover or something but i doubt it?

[MartinSullivan]

Should fit no problem - the air filter dimensions arent changed. Dont expect too much from it though, as a "bling" item its fine but dont expect huge handling improvements as the Mini's chassis is pretty stiff already.

also remember to check that it will sit low enough so that you don't end up with a ding in your bonett when closed.:(

[stoney]
