I ordered my new F56 JCW MINI yesterday, She will be replacing my current R58 Cooper S Coupe (Lady Tardy). Then I saw MayTulip32's post with the spec sheet, and specifically the Black LED Lights and had to eMail my MA to see if I can get the change made. :p

I have a list of aftermarket stuff I'll be adding or changing once I receive her.

 

There awesome.

 

I think that ECS sells these piece for a lot less than the $465 that Mini charges. IL'd let it go thru the way it is and then change when you receive the MINI. Might even get the MINI dealership to put them on for you, then you have the chrome trim rings if you would want to do the chrome look later. Just a thought. I'm thinking of going body color on the trim rings when I eventually get my next JCW.

 

Transitioned in production.

Wait for MA to provide VIN so I can track once in Southampton.

 

These will not all happen at once, but here is the current list of Mods I'll be making to my new JCW:

What about the JCW Pto rear diffuser? That'll be my first change!

 

Not enough of a difference (from what I can see) from the stock version. Until I see one on the road and compare directly I'll keep the $700 odd dollars in my back pocket.

 

Missed the Glorious Leader which sailed from Southampton Oct 7. Next available boat is on Oct 20 arriving Port Hueneme Nov 11.

This is shaping up to be a replica of the arrival of my Coupe. Same dates almost to the day.

Spooky.

 

Thats a good list you have going. I liked the JCW rear pro diffuser once i saw it in person. Some people are painting the edges also to have the diffuser a more pronounced look. 51192339046

She made on the Bess. ETA USA - 11/11/15 Too bad I'll be away on business all that week and the next :(

 

Not too far away, what port is it going to ? SC port seems to be the quickest. NJ and Port Hueneme, CA can get a little backed up sometimes in the VDC.

 

Port Hueneme, CA.

As I said in an earlier post, it will be almost 4 years to the day that my MINI Coupe S showed up. She then spent Thanksgiving at Borla being fitted for a racing exhaust.

First round of Mods ordered - The easy stuff. Once the break in period is over then the springs, CAI, etc with be ordered.

I may changed my mind and the rear diffuser, although at $700, I might have to sell a limb or two.

 

The Bess has left Southampton carrying my (and others) new cars bound for the West Coast of the USA. Only 3 weeks to go

 

The rear diffuser looks a lot better than the front one. That one looks bad.

 

Hope for smooth sailing and safe travels.

 

She arrived in port last week and is at the VDC. I contacted the dealer to have them fit:


JCW Pro Coil Overs
JCW Pro Diffuser
JCW Pro Front Body Extensions
JCW Pro Rear Spoiler Extensions
JCW Exhaust with Chrome Tips (the one with the flap)


I hope the see the car before the end of the month, but I am not holding my breath.


After I get it, I'll get the windows tinted, then onto the other mods.


Stay tuned.

 

Confirmed today - There is now a separate part number just for the JCW Pro Exhaust. Once I pick up the car next Saturday I will post here. Approximate cost is $1690 plus additional for the exhaust tips. This is not the fitted price. Labour is extra.

 

You have a great list of mods going. Can't wait to see the pics!!!

 

That seems cheap for all you are having done. Hopefully, the labor charges won't give you a heart attack (or is that price just for the exhaust?)! I was not even made aware of all the JCW Pro goodies when I ordered my 2015 JCW (which I may have gotten), but back then the F56 JCW was so new the dealer may not have really known about all the various modifications.


All I ended up with "accessory-wise" was the Black LED Driving Lights, which I love! Please post up pics of your new baby when it finally is in your hands!


Good Luck,


John

 

Let's just say that I won't be eating for a while and I am looking to sell my first born

I chatted with the Parts and Service Managers about putting up a display of the parts, etc but for some weird reason they don't seem that interested Maybe they don't feel there is money to be made from the parts? I dunno...

Anyhow, part number and images will follow after Saturday (yes, they need it all week to fit all this stuff). There are additional mods I'll be making, but I'll most likely wait until the New Year for those.

 

What part # ?

 

Not sure if you're asking for the part number itself, or what part I will be getting the part number for... Assuming the later, the part number is for the JCP Pro Exhaust by itself without the rest of the JCW kit that is fitted to a Cooper S. I was told by my MA, as well as the Parts and Service Manager that there is a separate part number now.

 

ah, yes, just thought you found another part number. The one is see is still blocked for the rear section only.

18302359645

 

Update - The dealer had issues installing the exhaust so I will not be collecting the car tomorrow (Nov 28). Since I will be in New York next week I will be collecting the car on Thursday afternoon after I land.

Disappointed, but I'll survive.

 

Now we all have to wait too.......
