Hi guys -- does anyone have a pic of OEM mud flaps on a JCW? Considering them, but don't want to mess up the look.

 

Only for a grandmas JCW . IMO mud flaps are like 4 doors.

 

Haven't seen them yet, but I'm not sure if they're compatible with the side sills. If they're not expensive, just get them and find out. Worst case is a Cooper or Cooper S owner will buy them off you.

Is that intended as a negative? I know "4 door" had uncool points back in the 1960's, but that was 50-odd years ago. We've since ruined the terms "wagon", "minivan" and then "SUV". Society is currently demonizing "crossover", so your reference to "4 door" is several generations out of the loop.

Some of the coolest cars are 4 doors: STI, Evo, Rapide, Phantom.

 

I like mud flaps. If you live where there is gravel and glass, you like mud flaps.

 

I have them on my 14' MCS and will be putting them on my 16' JCW when it arrives in a week or so. They're very unobtrusive but work great. So if constantly cleaning slop off the sides of your car is something you enjoy, save the expense of adding the flaps, otherwise a few bucks and about 30 minutes install time will save you loads of grief over the long haul, no mater how many doors you have.

 

Mud flaps won't fit on a 2015-16 JCW hardtop at least the ones you can get from MINI.

 

Hmm. Bummer! I guess I'll retract everything I said. I didn't realize the JCW was that different that the mudflaps currently available don't fit.

 

Solves the issue for me then.

 

To each their own but I wouldn't drive any one of those for a personal driver. I just think that a performance car is either a coupe or 2-door. A 4-door hatch or not, just has two too many doors. My wife drives a SUV, so I have no need for that many doors. And my hottie is also a tudor sedan, with a real hemi motor.
