I have a PS/PS MCS. If I were going to do it again I think I'd go for Red/Red. I really like it.

I'm all AB and I love it. The only thing I don't like are that the "gills" in the side panels don't show up as much as in the lighter colors.

JCW number #1 or #3. I really think the CR/CR would be my choice.

The classic B/W is sharp, too.

Here's mine in LB











This is the JCW Aero Kit on my LB 07. Black OEM driving lamps were added. I do like the all-black, but I also like the contrast between the black/blue/white. In fact, I like that the contrast makes the grillwork "pop" a bit more. Probably red or yellow would enhance the effect even further.

I Agree! From the picture it looks like your MINI could be a slot car because of the wet line on the road. You sure thats not a new ride at Disneyworld?

As of tonight, I could not re-configure nothing, but I know the first ones will arrive in JULY and they are all 09 models, and the JCW is indeed a separate model is not listed as a MCS is listed as JCWhardtop.
