Where are all the JCW Cabrios

We have feeling that we have the only 07 Hot Orange JCW Cabrio. But there must be more, we would love to hear from you!! Or any other colors as far as that matters.

JCW here

I too have a JCW but in CR. I drive in stealth mode with no JCW badging on the outside. I do have one question for you, Why is your top up in every picture in your gallery? You are breaking the rules!!!


Nice Cabrio!!!

No not at all. The photos with the top down did not come out as well as these. We make good use of the sun roof and top down. As well as top up with the ac on, as we live in the desert.

Love the car kwk and in plain clothes cool! We have kept them off so far but dam they look good on the Hot Orange.

Its good to see that were not alone. Any others?

No stinkin Badges

Several under the bonnet. But there are two for the outside. One adheres to the boot and the other is afixed to the lower grill( the mesh area). I asked my dealer to not instal them.

If you do not install them make sure you still get them as they are expensive to replace,

Nice Mike, old or new were glad to see more of these cars.

Eepers cant wait to see photos sounds like a great ride! Do you have a build date yet? When do you expect it.

Thanks Lordon,
EEPERS, you can see the JCW badge on mine on the opposite side of the trunk lid. I bet most people think it is a dealer sticker.

Neat, thanks for the info, didn't know about those badges.

My MINI is "on order" according to the owner's lounge, and it's been over 2 weeks. So far I haven't heard from anyone how long it's really supposed to take. The dealer said "8 weeks", and I hope he's not completely off base. I sure would love to see that little dot moving down the production status icons though :(

Here's my post with a photoshopped up pic of the car...

The owner's lounge lags behind the actual vehicle status. My best info came from the shipping company. There is a way to track all of this. I believe the info is on MINI2.com.

My mom has an 06 PH JCW MCSc, but she isn't really into the whole forum thing. She has me for that!

I agree with Vic, lets see some more photos. I should have some more of mine later this week. But besides all that it's great to hear about any of these cars. It seems these are rare MINIs and we all should be proud of them.

Lets show them off!!!!

Does ANYONE have a Hot Orange one?

Hey Lordon! That's a FANTASTIC color combination, love it! I don't see that color on the website as being available or I might have gone that route.
