    Hi guys, still on the lookout for a JCW clubbie and thought I'd found one this week in Yorkshire.

    But, when the pics appeared today it doesn't have the bumpers or side skirts I'd expect on a JCW, it just looks like an S with jcw badging. Has anyone ever seen this before? Could this be an S with the tuning kit?

    Very disappointing anyway.

    Sounds like an S with badges or a tuning kit rather than a JCW

    People have been known to put badges on cars with nothing even added

    Hmmm that’s weird. Got the right exhaust and gearknob is right... wheels are also correct but bodykit missing...

    What's different with the exhaust Craig, compared to an S? And should the wheel not be the part alcantara job? You can tell I'm no 'R' expert.

    If it is a fake it's a really convincing one. Other than the wheel and lack of body kit everything else seems correct. Was start stop an option I thought it came standard on the minis

    Did a quick lookup on the reg plate and it does come back as a JCW

    Early JCWs never came with the JCW wheel but just the sports leather wheel as what's fitted to the above. May just be a JCW and someone never liked the aerokit so swapped it out
