    No, I know...and 99% of these are road cars anyway. Just my opinion, personally don't see the point adding weight to make it look as if it's carbon. I find it strange they've gone to the length of making moulds of the originals to make an overlay product & could've spent some more time making the negative/backing & had a replacement panel, that would've justified the cost. I can pick up carbon/kevlar panels for some of my other cars that are replacements & the cost is on a par with these. I'm not denying their quality is good but appears to be a trend in the MINI aftermarket scene - bump the price right up.

    I guess I'm just not a form over function person

    Wow thats a lot if useful information on here, didn't know half the stuff before I got on here.

    Currently thinking about going to have a nose at this which I believe is a proper JCW.

    That looks like it's worth going to see especially as it's local and if you can get a few more pounds off it . Checking history it seems to have been a car that's hardly been used doing only a couple of hundred miles between 2011-2012.
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Might be a cosmetic thing as it certainly looks like a FJCW but why does it have Cooper S scuttles?

    They all come with S scuttles or plain if memory serves me correctly ...

    A JCW doesn't or shouldn't have S scuttles as they aren't an S . They should have vented chrome ones unless they have been changed. A popular change was to put LCI ONE/Cooper scuttles on

    A quick reg check shows it as being a JCW

    Purely cosmetic then which is good. I was thinking to myself, if it is an S, why go to all the bother and spend a small fortune making it look like a FJCW when it would probably have been cheaper to buy a FJCW in the first instance :)
