Sorry for the Mini pics I'll get some LARGER pics on tomorrow. The JCW worth the wait, needs the JCW suspension.

Yes, larger pictures. I do love your combination (check my sig.).

Did you have them change out the mirror caps or was that your first MOD?, on the 09 JCW.

How does it compare to your GP!

I bought the mirror caps about two weeks ago and put them on today along with stubby ant, M7 STB, JCW shift ****, radar det., Nuvi GPS and 3rd brake light pulser. I'm thinbking of adding the JCW springs to lower slightly and keep SS bars and shocks. As far as a comparison to the GP there is none. GP is faster, better handling and controls feel tighter. The JCW does have more low end torque but runs out of poop about 5500 RPM where the GP pulls hard all the way to 7400 RPM ( have an RMW Tune on the GP). Seat of the pants the GP hits 60 about .4-.5 sec faster. Plus for JCW back seat, very comfortable ride better fuel economy and of course the brakes are fantastic.

Nice recap, now all you need to do is update your sig. picture and your almost done. I wonder what it will take to get the JCW to carry it's power up to at least 7000 RPM.

Still a great color combination. Obviously.

All else being equal, bigger wheels = more unsprung weight. I prefer less weight over less gap.

Not to mention, bigger wheels = more expensive tires.
