JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 1st Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs are discussed.
The 2006 JCW. I wanted a late build R53, so this was ordered right as the last allocations of R53s were available. I threw the book at it and optioned it all except Nav (don't like the square screen in the round hole) and park distance stuff. But I did spec the english panther leather (tuck and roll seats) and the anthracite headliner/ w piano black dash.
Also lowered it, blacked out the beltline, and added black wheels w new/ non-runflat tires. Next is the joey mod headlights and de chrome. Eventually.
Here's the 2003 JCW. It's got some other light mods (Sway/ CAI/ Wheels/ tint/ Brembos/ addtnl' gauges etc...blah blah.
A shot of the back. I've since changed the clear tail lights to red lenses with clear turn indicator centers.
Your red S is gorgeous! YOu guys have the best modded minis in the world!! What wheels are they? I want mine like yours now!
here's a before pic of my 2004 JCW. The entire front end has since been replaced.....valet takeout......just got it back and haven't had a chance because of the rain to take some new shots
Your red S is gorgeous! YOu guys have the best modded minis in the world!! What wheels are they? I want mine like yours now!
Sorry I missed this until now. I haven't been on the forums much for awhile.
The red MINI has 18" Motegi Racing RT5 in flat black, running on Pirelli P Zeros. (I had the rims powdercoated a 20% gloss). The RT5 is no longer being built though. I may upgrade soon to a different wheel set. Not sure which though. I haven't found something that I really like, that isn't over $500 bux a wheel just yet. So for now I'll keep my cheapies.
The black MINI has 18" Motegi Racing FF7 rims in Hyperblack w/ polished lip. They are shod with Pirelli P Zero M+S tires.
Thanks for the very kind words! There are some very cool cars out there and ours just scratch the surface. Cheers.

Picked her up almost a month ago with 3 miles on the ODO. Just rolled 1500. I'm changing the oil this weekend and testing out that little "Sport" button!
I tasted a little bit of the "Sport" the other day...
Oh, am I gonna get into BIG trouble with this LITTLE car!!!
