Variable brightness LED Tail lights? AMAZING

and is that Spice Orange on Hard tops? BRILLIANT

 

Spice orange doesn't seem spicey enough for me, a little muddy looking. Surely the color people could have done better than that, Porsche got the orange color right!

 

I don't think they have LED BRAKE lights though. I just see LED Light Pipes used for the tail lights.

 

In all the pictures I have seen of the interior so far, I have only seen the Auto AC. I wonder if Auto AC will be standard on the 2011 cars.

 

Disappointing honestly... I like the interior but see nothing exciting enough to make me want to sell mine. LED lights, that's cool. The chrome on the bottom bumper looks ugly, the car looks basically the same.

I do like (in your face all non JCW naysayers) the fact that even Mini now feels that the JCW should be differentiated from a regular MCS.

Not saying the JCW is better, I just think that for the price and performance, it should stand out from a regular MCS.

Oh well, we'll see in 4 more years I guess.

I really like the look of the brake ducts on the JCW Kit, but not so much on the new stock bumper. The new bumpers look plasticky and beveled. Like the bevel effect in photoshop.

 

Thanks for posting. I relayed the URL to our local forum site.

 

Well the JCW of 2011 only got the visual update. Performance has not changed and it didn't get valvetronic. So really an S with a tune has a chance of being faster and better then a JCW.
