JCW 210 PRICES/Seats

[ELFMAN]

Just been quoted a frankly hilarious £4,014.00 by Douglas Park MINI in Hamilton to supply & fit the JCW 210 upgrade to G3 ELF. I asked them to go away and “reconsider� their offer. Which they are doing. It's listed in a MINI parts brochure from earlier this year as £2,999.00 or thereabouts plus Dealer fitting. Parks said it was £3,600.00 PLUS FITTING :dead:. B*ll*cks to that :mad:. This looks like VAT :blackeye: has been added...... which I thought was in the £3k parts price... then they've added Labour on top of all that.

Was also enquiring about JCW seats, and they quoted me (wait for it) £900.00+ PER SEAT!!!! This is your heated leather job, and I'm intereseted in the non-heated Cloth ones.

All clear as mud. Can anybody give me some info Re. what they paid for any of the above, as I reckon this lot think I was born yesterday 8). They obviously haven't seen my Werther's :I Do dealers just make this up as they go along? Does it vary from place to place? HELP :question:

I know it's the Pantomimime season so....“OH NO I DON'T!!!!� Wait till I get the Auld 'S' cranked up then they'll be shouting “Where's Scottiecoop?�
.....“SHE'S BEHIND YOU!!!!�

I'll stick with my Supercharger thank you very much. As they say “Turbos are fine, but it's more fun being Blown!�.

£3.5k fitted for the 210 kit I paid in Jan 05.

Im with you Elfman re R56, I'm sticking with my JCW 210, JCW brakes and JCW suspension

[BigSwanMiniMan]

mon the fish,
where did you get your kit from ????

[ELFMAN]

Cheers Chris, I'm eager to see what Douglas Park come back with. I'll give you a wee shout tomorrow if I get a minute (Voluntary Sector design & printing is MENTAL at this time of year). If you don't hear from me, it's 'cos I'm up to my neck in Christmas cards and Church Magazines! I will try to get you at some stage in the next couple of days.

I have a kosher MINI “Facts, Figures and Fun� brochure from April '06. This lists the JCW 210 as £2,999.00 INC. VAT, plus fitting - whereas DP said it was £3,600.00 plus fitting, seems they've added the VAT TWICE! Or they're charging a grand to fit the conversion. I told them I was looking at £3.5/£3.6K MAX. ALL IN - same as Mon paid for his. The same brochure lists the Seats as £970.00 for the non-heated Cloth and £1,180.00 for non-heated Leather - also states SEATS and not SEAT...... To quote £900.00 per seat as they did is just pure fantasy. If I was paying that for a seat, it'd have Kylie Minogue in it!!!!!

i believe a set of non heated full leather jcw seats cost the dealer around £630 each... and you don't know me

as for the 210 kit i'm sorry but i don't know, should cost urself less anyway as you won't need the exhaust..
