Not really mate, I have them in my Golf and I would miss them. I'm in no rush though so I am prepared to wait and travel for it.

A bit of negotiation and it's within your budget. Doesn't mention some of your things but with this huge spec it's worth a phone call. ;)

First one is before 2008, in fact they both are but the second one doesnt have visibility, ive already asked.

Has to be turbo, the supercharged ones don't feel fast to me

Seen that mate, doesn't have MSFW, which isn't a cheap job. Shame

Stick a 15 or 17% pulley on an R53 and I defy you not to laugh at the speed and noise

Whats a good price to pay for a 57 JCW with about 40k?

Should a factory JCW come back as a Cooper S using a text check HPI thing?

Damn. So it wont be 211bhp then? And not worth £10,000 asking price for a 57 with 43k

Any colour now, factory JCW, budget is oooft as usual, probably 11k. Same options but really want the recaros

When was the factory JCW turbo released? 2008?

These will just be dealer fit JCW packs. Diferent car to the actual factory JCW from july 2008.

the 2007 cars actually book in the guide as a cooper S where as a factory JCW actually books as a JCW.

I ended up wanting a JCW which started out at 11k for a good one so gave up and decided to keep my Golf
