Thanks! Let me know if you ever cross the border.

I took it to a car show last week and got nothing but compliments from a few dozen people. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

 

New windshield for my JCW.
At 44k miles now.
The question is wether to get an extended warranty or use those 2-3k$ towards the purchase of a new JCW(hatch or coupe).

 

I notice you vinyl'd the headlight rings in body colour. If you stare at the pic long enough, it almost looks like you have big a$$ fenders and no tires. Have any more pics? I don't expect to be in Buffalo until next year at the earliest I think even though it is so close to Toronto.

 

Tough decision... there will be a brand new JCW hatch at some point right? If I already had a financed/owned R56 JCW, I would wait to see what the new model looks like.

 

Haha I didn't notice that till now

I didn't really take anymore pics since I got the trim painted, maybe I'll try to take some cool ones this weekend.

 

Here's a few. Couldn't think of anywhere cool to take pics today, I didn't have a lot of time.

 

JCW looks great!
Are those xenon match bulbs in your fogs? Or a xenon kit?

 

Thanks! Honestly I'm not sure. They were on the car when I bought it. I think they're just bulbs.

 

Here is my 09 JCW with 19,000 on the clock;

 

UK FJCW on new wheels, been a while since I posted here...next up will be colour coded light rings.

 

WOW! that's a great looking car. I love the 2 colors on the 2 (or 3? piece) piece JCW rims. With color match headlights, tail lights, and grille surround that will be a sexy. cooper. Have you thought about painting the xenon shroud to match? Not a joey mod, jus the piece that sits around the projector tip.

 

Nice!! I love that color! And the perfect sized driveway!

 

LH0121: Nice shots! Super clean looking JCW!

 

Niiiiiiiiiice. Did you need spacers for these to clear the brakes? Are these a true 2/3-piece wheel? That would open up a TON of paint options.

 

5mm spacers are needed up front to clear the larger brakes, the wheels are 2 piece BBS JCW R109s, just had them split with centres painted, barrels painted and diamond cut by the people who manufacture the wheels for Mclaren, hence I had to have the centres painted Mclaren anthracite with a matte lacquer.

Cheers for all the compliments guys.

 

Just sorting the colour coded front rear light rings and surrounds, I hadn't thought of the xenon shroud, but you've planted the seed now!

 

With spacers on the front only do the fronts stick out more than the rears? Would a 10mm fit? I only ask because the OEM spare tire kit needs a 10mm spacer to clear and it would be sweet to kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks for all the info!

 

I guess technically yes however this is not noticeable at all, 10mm would work and give you a little more space between the Brembo's but would suggest you may wish to fit on the rear too if the front track is 20mm wider.

 

My thoughts exactly. Appreciate all the info.

 

Ignore.

 

Got this tonight, better pics will ensue. Traded in a fully loaded 2005 A8L/JCW has a Build date 06/11.

 

Here's one of my new (to me) JCW Clubby
