    No JCW aero kit as standard on the JCW, an even smaller difference in performance and a bigger difference in efficiency over the Cooper S. Smooth move MINI.

    Not to mention that fugly front end...

    Bye bye MINI, hello something (anything) else!

    Yeah they said September to me when I asked prior to buying my Clubman. Ian can't agree about the colour of green for the seats no way is that the same olive green that was used in sportspack this one is darker going by the pictures.

    Fi

    I said they are LIKE the seats that were in my olive green sportspack, not the same as.
    I recon its the same leather as the 1 millionth mini which when in the flesh was a bit darker than the Rover leather but not that far off.

    Either way I think it looks great.

    Has to be the JCW in Orange, Black Roof and Mirrors, with Black Alloys. Been saying for ages they should have this colour-scheme available for the MINI. Nice set of subtle Side Graphics and you're laughing.

    Just a year and a bit too late for me! If I was trading in now........... However, my Pepper White will do me for a while yet...

    2008 R56 COOPER S, Pepper White, Black Roof, 'John Cooper' Signature Side and Bonnet Stripes, JCW 'Stage 1' Tuning Kit, Forge Intercooler, Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat, ALTA Induction, Chris Knox/DNA Remap, JCW/Brembo Brakes, Limited Slip Diff, JCW Suspension and Front Strut Brace, 17" Crown Spokes with Non-Runflat 205/45x17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, JCW/Recaro leather Seats, JCW Sideskirts, Chili Pack, Front Spotlights. Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!

    When I looked at the mini uk configurator, it was the standard bumpers. I hope you're right!

    Seriously though, power upgrade for the standard S and not for the JCW...you're getting even less for the premium over the S. Weak.
