That is actually a Numbered Limited Edition WC50.

It has many JCW extras as standard (CF mirror caps, scoop, interior trim) and it was the first car to have gloss black challenge wheels, black xenons and black lounge leather with red trim (all now an option on the facelift) also has numbered side scuttles and exclusive Connaught green exterior paint job.

 

here's a picture of ninja... i had to go drive the canyons this morning to make myself feel better about my illegal tint ticket...

it worked

 

Basic question: for a JCW with the body kit parts that includes the body color side skirts (with the faux air duct in the back), how is the lower door sill finished? Is it basically painted body color with the brushed JCW sill plate mounted near the center of it and surrounded by paint?

And, if it is paint, any feedback on whether that paint tends to get scuffed and scraped more over time as people enter and exit?

I ask because I am about to take a set of those side skirts (and the little rear trim piece into which the faux air fins fit) to the body shop for paint, and see that whole sill area is currently in the body primer type finish, suggesting to me the inner sill area ends up painted in body color too. I went thru all the pics in this thread, but didn't see any showing clearly that door jamb area. On my S with the plain old grey side moldings, it is just more of that same grey plastic look with the brushed "S" plate in the center; kind of dull given it's also a black interior, but it does hide mars at the same time.

 

Mine is painted body color. I could see it might get scuffed over time. I plan to be extra careful.

 

 

Bingo, just what I was looking for!

 

Do everybody's JCW sills look like that? Mine came with the wrong ones (th old JCW logo). So I ordered a set from england. They have the JCW checkered stripe instead of those bar lines like the one in the picture. Mine would match Onefish's lower rocker ckeckered vinyl.

 

Mine look like onefish's, just not nearly as clean.

Here is my first collection of non-cell phone photos of my new JCW.

 

 

Well here she is, she is dirty but she puts a grin on my face everytime I drive. I will put some better pics up when she'a clean. But for now here is my dirty girl. Enjoy

 

I'm not seeing any pics, Dr Rob??

Love the red roofs, guys!

 

biggripper and phinzip: Looking good! Liking the red roof's and color combos!

 

Thanks! I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten on mine. Mostly the gate guards on base. I followed a 335 on to base the other day who told the gate guard to compliment my MINI on her behalf.

I was a bit nervous about the color combo at fist, especially since I was unable to see "real-world" examples. Glad I took the gamble though.

 

How do you get the big pics up?

 

You have to upload them elsewhere (flickr, photobucket, etc) and then link them to here.

 

Thanks Blainstang

 

New to me 2009 PW/Black Punch JCW Clubman. Don't have any pics of my own yet as I have not personally seen the car yet. I bought it in Philly over the internet and I am in Houston.

 

DomesticMuscle^^^^ Can't wait to see pics of it in your hands! Congrats!!!!

 

Congrats! You got the one from Otto's, I've seen it in person. Nice car, great price

 

Great looking Clubman DomesticMuscle.

Well here are some pics of my JCW cleaned up a bit. It really is hard to get pictures, I just can't stand not driving long enough to get her clean and photographed. So please enjoy.

 

I am green with envy! I have not even seen it in person yet. Soon though very soon!
