Question about JCW Tuning Kit 'from factory'

Does adding the JCW Tuning Kit (as seen in the configuration) merit the addition of the JCW badging from MINI?

Of course, why not? It's a legit JCW product, but if you don't want the badge on, you could ask the dealer to supply loose, and decide later if you want to apply it.

We recently had the JCW Sound Kit added to the five year old R50 Cooper. We had the badge supplied loose, and after a few days, decided the kit was of high quality, the ECU tuning smoothed out the rev range, and the sound was fantastic, so we thought the badge was merited.

It's not about bragging (the Sound Kit adds a whopping 3 bhp) but about identifying. Besides, the badge looks great on the boot.

I just didn't want to add it if MINI didn't think it was valid to merit one. I was looking all over RealOEM buy couldn't find the JCW Tuning Kit to see if it supplied the badge or not.
