Justa with JCW Grill and mud guards

I finally had some time to play with the little car this morning. Added the JCW Justa Grille and OEM mud guards. I like the grille, not so sure about the mud guards.

I read everything here about how to remove the grill. I taped the front bumper, but I still scratched it a bit. The bottom edge of the grille is sharp as a razor -- cut through my duct tape protection. Oh, well, I still like it.

Looks good. For my JCW I always slide the bottom grille trim piece into the grille before putting it on the car. Makes it 100x easier, and I haven't scratched anything.

Oh, yeah. I actually did the damage taking the original grille off. I'm just a klutz, and I get in a hurry.

Why would a simple grille change and the addition of mudguards belong strictly in the JCW garage?

That's exactly what I'm doing to my AB/AB Justa. Yep. I took the bottom trim piece off with the grill, and put it on the new one before installing it. Not a scratch.

Still waiting for better weather to put the mud guards on. They look good on yours. Thanks for posting the pics.

I wouldn't think a justacooper owner would really ever look in the JCW garage section, soooo, I think it's in the right spot. Even though there are already like 7 threads for the same grille.

It's funny you say that. The other day I was driving behind a base Cooper with a JCW badge. Single exhaust, no scoop, Cooper scuttles, nothing about it was JCW. Maybe he had the floor mats...

There's a guy around here somewhere who has a Ferrari 348 with a license plate frame that says my other car is a Mini. Don't know if its a JCW or a Justa. Frame wasn't specific.
