JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 2nd Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs are discussed.
Does anyone have any pics of a BRG MINI with a JCW kit and painted arches? I actually ordered this from my dealer and my MA actually recommended not painting the wheel arches because it didn't look good to him for the price ($1300- $1500). I've seen a lot of pics of BRG MINIs with the JCW kit but none with painted arches.
$1300 - $1500 just to paint the arches? You mad? Way over at Way Motor Works will do you a brand new set in whatever colour you want for $500 and Paul at minspeed.net will do it for a full hundred less at $400!
Its just my personal preference, but I don't like the way painted arches look with the JCW kit. I've only seen a MY and a CR with painted arches and the JCW kit though, no BRG yet.
has anyone bought the full painted black trim pieces from minspeed? i see on their site they can do the whole kit for $950 which is a lot cheaper then what i got quoted on at 2 body shops here in the bay area. does anyone know how good is the paint and how many coats they put on? or does anyone here know of a good body shop that can do it for the same price.
