N.P. That's been the big complaint. Why didn't MINI make them for MFSW. How hard can it be?

 

I bet you ordered just the covers, and if you were crafty with a dremel you could do it. I would just epoxy the cuts later

 

I wouldn't do it myself. The parts are expensive and it would be too complicated to get right. They need to be precision machined, especially since they're the steering wheel where you see them up close all the time.

 

I probably wouldn't either, but I would be a possibility.

 

1st Gen but same JCW wheels.

 

Still working on the first 1200 miles...

 

What a beauty! Looks fantastic tinted with the matching roof! Best of luck with it..

 

Thanks! It also has black rally stripes, which don't really stand out (just the way I wanted it to look)

 

In good company.
My JCW next to a Tesla roadster.
The MINI could probably put a good fight at the race track.

 

Because the stock swaybar is 17.5mm, not 20.

 

I'm in. Picked her up yesterday.

 

Very nice! Congrats.
I'm waiting for an S with the same look except for the wheels (see my sig). I can't wait!

 

Picked mine up Thursday. Here it is fresh and clean!

 

Thanks-but if you think waiting on delivery is tough, wait until you are contemplating the break-in period on your new Mini!

 

Hehe. Yeah, for me it's both sides of the coin: I've already been through break-in on my first MINI so I have the experience, BUT... It wasn't an S so it will definitely be more difficult keeping the rev's and mph's within the limits.

 

It's not that bad, I just got over 1,000 on mine so I'm contemplating hitting the sport button soon..although it doesent say you can't anywhere for the first 1,200 its probably best not to. Besides you won't kill the car if you occasionally get the rpm over 4,000. Its constant abouse that will do it in...

 

You could have hit sport button starting at mile zero. It has zero affect on break-in. All it does is change the throttle mapping and steering ratio.

Did I mention it has zero affect on break-in?

 

Addlightness I bought one a lot like yours. April 2009

 

Here is another picture... sporting the industrial look.

 

Wow! You and Addlightness are making me so anxious to get mine!!!

 

Before and after

 

spinned - I like those wheels! Were they on the car on the lot or did you add them afterwards? Always been a big fan of those but have not seen them on a factory JCW until now.

 

Guywhojustboughtamini,what kind of stripes?Bonnet or sport.

 

Love the BRG JCW. I wanted the JCW factory but it was going to be several months for a cabrio JCW so I'm going to mod the MCSc myself the JCW+ on my own.

 

:-) yeah , now I know that , and has fitted mine with a 22mm swaybar..
