I am getting close to getting a new mini. I am looking at ordering a new JCW. I have always liked solid color minis. My 03 MCS is all Dark Silver. I am hoping to find a lot of pictures of the following color combos...

JCW Midnight black with chilli red roof/mirrors and JCW bonnet stripes

vs

All Pepper white (roof and mirrors)

Wheels I want are likely the Black Challenge spokes.


Anybody have pictures of their cars with these combos?

Thanks,
Kenny

 

I agree,I like solid color MINI's too especially if they come out with a real white.I would definately consider it.It's all about the wheels and the JCW aero side skirts on the all solid colors

 

Here are some pics of the black/red.

Hit that link while it's hot, I just bought that one.

 

Also got the black wheels and the black / red interior.

I've only just picked it up and I swear have not been this excited since I was a kid.

 

here's some more..hope it helps you in your decision making!

 

I still can't get used to the red roof combos, I've seen it in person and I really don't like it at all.

I think the solid PW with black wheels would look sweet though.

 

Here's mine before all the stripes and stuff...i does really look nice all PW

 

 

Very nice, are those the NM Engineering RSe07 17" wheels? If so, how are you liking them, I've been thinking about getting them, except the 18" set, with BF g-Force tires or hankooks. Are they shiny at all or purely matte?

 

Yes, NM Engineering RSe07s but these are 18". I wasn't aware they even came in 17" to tell you the truth. So far these have been great. They have taken very little weight to balance up. I am running Yoko S-drives in 215-35-18. They are a semi matte finish.

 

A friend of mine just saw this photo and asked "Why does that guy have 'Jesus Christ Works' for a license plate??"

Where did you get that sticker printed? Aesthetic Creations?

 

Pretty funny! It's my license plate number or letters.

I forget who did them. Some guy in England.

 

Fair play Gothmdoc that is a fantastic paint combo with the black air intake and the black plastic. I particularly like the coat of arms tiger on the side. New wheels also show off more of the calipers, and the matte black colour is great. I'd be interested to see if anyone has a clubman S or JCW in these colours. Post some pics if you have one!

 

Sorry BMC Kid

 

Not a solid PW, but decided to post anyway

 

Thanks for the kind words. They are actually heraldic rampant lions, Scottish on the driver's side and Spanish on the passenger side.

 

What wing is that on the back??? I like it's, it's less aggressive than the JCW option but enough to be noticed. The subtle red accents are the perfect touch.

 

Very nice cars. I never liked different color roofs either but there is something I really like about jcws_2011 color combo. I can't quite put my finger on it but it looks great. So does the pepper white. Very nice cars. My only concern about the different colors and stripes etc... is does it make it look to youthful? I am by no means old (34), but don't need a car that looks like a teenager is driving and parked at my dental office. Solid colors just feel elagant while color combos are more styleish. If that makes any sense...

 

my take on this....

if your concern is to protect your credibility as a medical professional, i don't think that you can be judged by the kind of car you drive, more so on the color of it. do decide based on what you really want, and what would make you happy and excited to drive on a daily basis.

also, by no means that getting an aggressive looking car shows that you are a boy racer type.....i really doubt that a sub-40k MINI would classify you as such....it actually reflects that you are successful in what you do that you can afford such toys.

My personal reasons for getting it in this combo....JCW's are kinda limited in production, or let's say "exclusive" to a point...so why not take it all the way and also get the things makes it different from all the others (the red roof exclusivity on the JCW's)? who knows, maybe this thing that sets it apart from the rest of the other models makes it retain more value or something? but this is me......i use it as my daily driver, and use a different car for some other occasions. but you'll be amazed how much attention this car gets from the young and old alike....especially the older who knows MINI's and their history....took it to an upscale restaurant one time and voila...it stayed in front all night long beside a ferrari! also, went to visit a client one time and he got more excited when we rode in the MINI than my other car!

want to look elegant? get a Jag or a Lexus...=)

want to be practical? get a Toyota or Honda....

want to look classy and have fun at the same time? get a MINI JCW and load it as you please! pick what gets you most excited to drive it all the time!

Cheers and good luck on your purchase!
