Post My JCW build, suggestions appreciated.

I HAVE NOT ORDERED IT YET.... trying to get that right combo...



2016 JCW 2 Door Hard Top

Prices are in Canadian Dollars (Retail/Dealer Cost)

- WHEELS: 18" X 7.5" JCW CUP SPOKE 2-TONE ALLOY -inc: Tires: P205/40R18 2LY $800 $745

- JOHN COOPER WORKS REBEL GREEN - $1,000 $930

- Leather Lounge Carbon Black - $2,250 $? ? ?

- ESSENTIALS PACKAGE - $1,050 $980

- LOADED PACKAGE - $1,200 $1,118

- WIRED NAVIGATION PACKAGE - $1,500 $1,395

- SPORT SUSPENSION - $0 $0

I find the Rebel Green in a word or two... STUNNING and TIMELESS

What do you think of the DARK TRUFFLE PUNCH LEATHER upholstery as an offset and combo to the black interior?

Red Roof & Mirrors? or Black Roof & Mirrors?
JCW Bonnet Stripes
You have to get the JCW Sport Seats!

Nice build as-is...only my suggestions...

Good Luck,

John

I am going with the factory color for the roof and mirrors. I figure, if I ever want to change things up, I could always get the roof wrapped in a different color, and swap out the mirror caps. Get go vice versa with that STUNNING JCW REBEL Green.

I am not into the stripes (especially the quality of work performed at the dealer who install stripes in my area... very poor).

I believe the seat color I will go with is the real leather black instead of the truffle...

I hear ya!...I have an all black JCW & I can always go with red roof covering & red mirror caps if I want a little more typical JCW look!....can only get red roof on the JCW! But, I like the stealth look personally....love my solid black roof!!

My JCW bonnet stripes are perfect from the factory...no worries there!

As for the seats I really struggled with what I wanted...from black leatherette, to the punch black leather, then to the dinamica/suede alcantra JCW sport seats...with all black & red accents the choice was a no brainer....dinamica JCW sport seats! I think you will be much happier with the black lounge leather with the RG exterior color! Good move!

Cheers,

John

With the green I like the dark truffle leather. Not up on all the packages, but make sure you get the LED lights.

Echoing Vetsvette, the LED headlights are a must have. The amount of useful light they produce is remarkable.

Yes, you are correct. I checked my build sheet and the way it reads is, "LED headlights with cornering lights." I had forgotten that the headlights themselves were included with the JCW. Off to order a cargo net now!

I like the build. I don't think I've seen pix of an all Rebel Green car with no stripes. I do love that color, that's the color I'd choose for sure. I was never a BRG lover either. How much is that puppy's sticker price?

Don't get the wheels and tyres. MINIs are always way over priced. Tire Rack and off-shelf wheels (17 and 18") that work with the brake kit installed. Lighter weight and better looking to boot.

I've got the dark truffle leather in my rebel green JCW. Do it. You'll love it.
