I have fitted them to my Clubman and managed to get it done.
If you are handy enough and with right tools (like sharp knife to adjust and cut into inside wheelarch felt) then you will be fine.
It took me about an hour. I did have to take the front wheels off to fit the front flaps.

I did not take any pictures though.

Good luck!

Wasnt aware they did them for the Works, but they probably do if they didnt :?

I think clubster was thinking about modifying a set of normal Clubman ones to fit his Works side skirts :ugeek:

the standard mudflaps will obviously fit normal side skirts and also the factory aero skirts which brettles and others have.

as for the JCW skirts, i've tried to modify the standard flaps by cutting them, but in order for them to be fitted flush against the wheel arch and skirts without any gaps, you will need to bond them - this can be done as i've seen them on a R56. Unfortunatly i'm not brave enough to do this as the car is lowered and i reckon they would be ripped off in no time at all.

I've just brought a set of R50/53 front mudflaps, although they are very small, but without serious modification there not going to fit either.

i've not tried it yet... but i reckon if you buy a set of rally style mudflaps and cut them down, this will resolve the problem as the mounting surface will be inside the wheel arch felt and inner skirt using self tapping screws, heres an item number from ebay for you to view the said mudflaps - 390060495657
