Ultimate MINI Performance CAUTION: WHEN WORKING UNDER YOUR CAR ALWAYS USE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB. DON’T BE TEMPTED TO TAKE SHORT CUTS OR USE INAPPROPRIATE ITEMS. NEVER WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY A JACK; USE AXLE STANDS (JACK STANDS) OR CAR RAMPS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND PROPERLY RATED FOR YOUR VEHICLE’S WEIGHT. - Page 3 Ultimate MINI Performance Left Side Right Side Figure 2: Exhaust Hanger Brackets Notch Right Side Left Side Figure 3: Front Entry Tunnel Brackets Note that the driver’s side front bracket has a notch on one side.

- Page 4 Ultimate MINI Performance Identify the different diffuser tunnels. The straight edge on the main tunnels goes along the outside of the car (red in picture to the left). The shaped edge of the tunnels point inward and accommodate the exhaust system (blue in picture to the left).
- Page 5 Ultimate MINI Performance Jack up the rear of the car or drive the rear up onto ramps. Using ramps is ideal as it will keep the suspension compressed and you can clearly see where the lower control arms sit. Remove the rear apron from the car. In the rear wheel wells, remove the plastic screws holding the fender liner to the body.
- Page 6 Ultimate MINI Performance Install the front brackets. Since you have to use the brackets as templates for drilling mounting holes in the tunnels, attach the brackets to the underpan until they are flush with the mounting surface but do not torque them down at this time.
- Page 7 Ultimate MINI Performance Install the rear bumper brackets. Refer to the image below to see how the rear brackets look when installed. These can be slid from side-to-side in order to get the best mounting possible. The single passenger side (right side) rear bracket is roughly 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) away from the pre-existing...
- Page 8 Ultimate MINI Performance The outer driver’s side (left side) bracket and inner driver’s side (left side) brackets are about 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) and 15 inches (38.1 cm), respectively, away from the driver’s side end of the steel bumper. These can be adjusted from side to side in order to line up with the pilot holes of the tunnels.
- Page 9 Ultimate MINI Performance You can move the rear bracket along the bumper by loosening the bolts and sliding the clamp. Outline where the brackets sit on the tunnels. Trace the outline of the brackets onto the diffuser tunnels. Be sure to do this for the front Entry Tunnel and Rear Main Tunnel. If you have the Carbon Fiber option or if you have already painted your tunnels, use painter’s tape before making any marks.
- Page 10 Ultimate MINI Performance Mark the drilling points for the driver’s side. Similar to the install of the passenger side tunnels, have someone help you by holding the tunnels of the driver’s side up to the brackets. Use the center wing to set the installation distance between the driver’s side and passenger side main tunnels.
- Page 11 (thread locker) to reduce the chance of the fasteners vibrating loose. Apply a strip of foam tape between the diffuser tunnels and rear apron to eliminate vibration, squeaks and scuffing. This completes the installation of the M7 R56 Rear Diffuser Tunnels. For further technical support, please e-mail techsupport@m7tuning.com or call our office at 704-663-0094 Monday –...
