Pretty much what Bonnie Scotland said. I've spoken with two guys that have driven the JCW Cooper and they really didn't rate it at all :disapprove:

The JCW conversion for the S is a different kettle of fish though.

Just got the brochure for the Cooper Works conversion and an invitation for a test drive - is it a coincidence that the car featured was the same colour as mine? - or do I credit them with too much?
About the only thing I liked were the optional 18" alloys - I'm certainly not going to fork out nearly £2.5K for a cylinder head, airfilter element, stainless steel silencer and some badges though!
I'm sorry Willie, I'm going to have to correct the spelling in your sigquote: JCW MINI COOPER S 'Chunk' - DS/DS, Aerokit, Carbon fibre 'scoop', 17" R90 alloys, Xenons, Air-con, Aux guages, Factory tints, Pioneer ICE, Bee Sting Ariel.
gauges, not guages.
Aerial not ariel.

Note to self, DO NOT compile sig file whilst under the influence of strong drink :I

We got our brochure last week too - luckily ( or unluckily) it didnt come with a price list - J was wondering if we could blag it for a courtesy car when ours goes in for a service.....dont think so somehow. Need to do something to ours though - getting a bit common even with silver ears!
J was also wondering if T would notice if J subtly transferred a discreet amount of cash from T's bank account to, ahem, make the silver-eared one a little less common.
Whoops, J didn't mean to think that out loud...

I had my car put on the rolling road at minisportat the weekend 194 bhp with the works fitted which I am quite happy about.
Most of them get between 180bhp to 184 bhp.

I thought the Works Cooper S coversion was 200bhp - I'm sure that's what the brochure I looked at said but no prices - from memory I think the S is about £3500
Yes that is what the brochure quotes but that is not what you get in real terms.
However I did know that when I got the kit installed.
