    ever the salesman!!

    After collecting my car from my local dealer on friday i noticed a JCW flyer they'd 'left behind' in the sun visor...they know me too well!! I'm seriously considering the JCW brake upgrade after seeing the price tag - not too bad in my opinion. After having my ECU remap, new exhuast, etc etc i thought i'd better considering braking upgrades and coupled with the price of JCW kit and also that it includes warranty etc i started my beard-stroking impression and wallet hunting! I should've guessed the man himself, Iain, wouldn't be far behind my post lol.

    Iain - how long does it take to JCW-erise my brakes? What does the kit include exactly - does it stretch as far as braided cables etc? Has your dealership had many people buying them?

    what does the kit comprise and what is the current price for it? I had a quick rake about on the JCW site but didnt see a 'kit' as such. Any info would be great!

    cheers...

    yum...me like. The JCW press i saw mentioned £995 inc. fitting. Shouldn't it fit all the models (ONE/COOPER/CS?) since all are identical hubs?
