Hello all. I haven't finalized my JCW order yet (July order slot for a manual) and am seriously considering including Satellite Gray door panels with the Glowing Red color line to lighten up the interior and give it some personality. It looks fairly good in the configurator. Any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

 

Obviously, only you can know what looks best. That said...

If you go with the Satellite Grey doors (as I did on my MCS) I would go with the Satellite Grey color line rather than red. And I don't know if the JCW has to have the anthracite headliner or if you can order it with the MCS's light grey one. Ask your MA - just because the configurator doesn't show it doesn't mean it doesn't exist (true on so many features).

A different way to lighten up the door and dash would be to go with the Fiber Alloy MINI Yours interior - which despite what the configurator shows also adds a silver door bezel. To sort of get an idea of what that looks like on a black door choose the off-white MINI Yours style. Or you could go off-white - but I don't think that looks as good as the silver-y alloy against the red color line.

Lastly, if you do go red color line (and you can deal with the bump in price) I think the red dinamica seat look awesome.

 

Oh...and I should have mentioned that if you go with the grey/grey motif instead of red you can change your steering wheel from red stitching to grey by choosing the MINI Yours steering wheel (2XB).

 

I like the grey/red combo a lot. Mine's a R56 of course, but I did the similar color line, and also red dash panels, and red on the rounded door trim, but I doubt you can do that on the F56 JCW hatchback like I could.

 

I'd be concerned about the grey door panels showing dirt and scuffs.

The grey door panel options for the 1st and 2nd Gen MINI didn't last long.
