See this thread on Mini2 http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26973&perpage=20&pagenumber=1 scroll down and see my comment and then read on to see the slagging i took for my comments.

Seems that there are far too many personal posts on MINI2 nowadays.

I've noticed for awhile that some of the threads on MINI2 get personal, folk need to think before they type!
Noticed someone mentioned Autoexpress has a works feature to.

Thought you handled the situation with remarkable decorum Alan, doubt I could have remained so calm. Still, at least the guy had the decency to apologise.

I just read that reply, and the s works looks wicked....

It should have had those awesome 18" JCS wheels on it tho, ive seen a picture on the john cooper site and they are superb.

Sh@z, probably the reason for no 18" alloys will be due to the handling and overall performance of the 16" ones.
18" are more for looks than ride quality

Julz, In hindsight I should've put this thread in the news section but as usual I was rushing about :I

I think I will be going for the JCW Package rather than the hartge one as it seems far more comprehensive and with the amount of work done actually begins to justify the cost!
