Ok, so the new JCW has been shown, and of course it looked great. It was shown in a color called 'Rebel Green'. I'm really liking this color and wanted to know if it will be a JCW only color, or will it be available on the non JCW F56?

Does anyone know if this will even be a color that be added to the color line-up?

I will being ordering an F56 soon and wanted to know if this color will be available at some point, thus my thread. Any help is appreciated.

 

Everything I've read suggests it will be a factory JCW exclusive.

 

JCW only for rebel green, see here for more details: http://www.motoringfile.com/2015/01/...and+Podcast%29

 

It's even better looking than BRG2, which is tough to beat.

 

Thank you for the information and links, everyone. Im not really sure I want to order the JCW, but I REALLY want the color. This makes it difficult.

 

The new BRG2 is quite a color, and is on my list of colors to choose from if Rebel Green for sure will not be offered without going the JCW route.

 

Chili Red is tied to the JCW Aerodynamic kit, not the factory jcw,
Maybe Rebel Green will be the same?
Its hard to tell from pictures what the color really looks like. But it sure does not look like Connaught Green judging from the pics, like it was supposed to.
Spotlight light also messes colours up.

 

Mini is famous for making some colors or combinations (in my case Eclipse Gray body with red roof) exclusive to the JCW. They even had a cool blue color that was only for the Justa. My guess is that this color is JCW only.

 

Here's to hoping it shows up on the new Clubman If Thunder Grey can be an F56 color I wouldn't say anything is off the table.

 

Im hoping they show the new Clubbie soon. I would like to choose between the new Clubbie and an F56.

 

Just read the Motoringfile piece on the JCW. I don't like that green color (and it is exclusive to the JCW is says), I don't like the front end with all that black plastic Rice Chex grill stuff. Hate the 3 little guages in front of driver on the dashboard. Seats are good. In looks alone I wouldn't trade mine for that one. Bet it's really quick though.

 

The red and green was definitely not a good color combo to show off the new car in!!

 

List price: $31,450 including shipping. That won't include the cool Recaro black/red seats shown in the red car. On my car those were $2900 (heated). The price of the JCW is about $1000 more than my JCW Coupe, but my Sport suspension ($500) didn't come standard, it does on the F56.

 

I don't know your source, and admittedly I've only looked at these on my phone, but all of those seats look the same to me, and it says the seats will be standard, along with led lights.


I'm liking this green, it looks more like a classic colour, dare I say it closer to the original BRG that BL used to use - maybe we'll get rust coloured accessories for the full period effect.

 

I stand corrected, it does say the JCW seats are standard and LED lights. That makes $31.5k pretty reasonable and it includes the SS too. They gotta do something about that horrible front grill mess and it could be sweet. 20 more HP than mine too.

 

Its hard to tell on the computer, but rebel green reminds me of BRG from the 60's
Think TR4 or MGB

Sound like we're both on the same page. Maybe we need some pics up for the youngsters (yes I'm an old fart)

 

In the UK they're saying roughly £23k, which sounds good value to me too. Bear in mind a cooper S here starts at roughly £19k, a few options will soon take you above 23k.

Now if I could just persuade my 84yr old mum to buy my cooper

 

Do the British car prices include the 20% Value Added Tax? American prices do not. If the tax is included the prices are almost the same here and there.

 

I thought it was gorgeous.

 

When I first saw the color combo. I thought it was terrible. But the more pictures and videos I've seen I Love It. I may even consider getting it. But we'll see.

Here are some pics of a BRG F56 I took earlier today. Oh man this car looked so damn good in person.

 

Sorry, it won't allow me to do more than one at a time. Weird.
