Post My JCW build, suggestions appreciated.

I HAVE NOT ORDERED IT YET.... trying to get that right combo...



2016 JCW 2 Door Hard Top

Prices are in Canadian Dollars (Retail/Dealer Cost)

- WHEELS: 18" X 7.5" JCW CUP SPOKE 2-TONE ALLOY -inc: Tires: P205/40R18 2LY $800 $745

- JOHN COOPER WORKS REBEL GREEN - $1,000 $930

- Leather Lounge Carbon Black - $2,250 $? ? ?

- ESSENTIALS PACKAGE - $1,050 $980

- LOADED PACKAGE - $1,200 $1,118

- WIRED NAVIGATION PACKAGE - $1,500 $1,395

- SPORT SUSPENSION - $0 $0

I find the Rebel Green in a word or two... STUNNING and TIMELESS

What do you think of the DARK TRUFFLE PUNCH LEATHER upholstery as an offset and combo to the black interior?

Red Roof & Mirrors? or Black Roof & Mirrors?
JCW Bonnet Stripes
You have to get the JCW Sport Seats!

Nice build as-is...only my suggestions...

Good Luck,

John

I am going with the factory color for the roof and mirrors. I figure, if I ever want to change things up, I could always get the roof wrapped in a different color, and swap out the mirror caps. Get go vice versa with that STUNNING JCW REBEL Green.

I am not into the stripes (especially the quality of work performed at the dealer who install stripes in my area... very poor).

I believe the seat color I will go with is the real leather black instead of the truffle...

I hear ya!...I have an all black JCW & I can always go with red roof covering & red mirror caps if I want a little more typical JCW look!....can only get red roof on the JCW! But, I like the stealth look personally....love my solid black roof!!

My JCW bonnet stripes are perfect from the factory...no worries there!

As for the seats I really struggled with what I wanted...from black leatherette, to the punch black leather, then to the dinamica/suede alcantra JCW sport seats...with all black & red accents the choice was a no brainer....dinamica JCW sport seats! I think you will be much happier with the black lounge leather with the RG exterior color! Good move!

Cheers,

John

With the green I like the dark truffle leather. Not up on all the packages, but make sure you get the LED lights.

Echoing Vetsvette, the LED headlights are a must have. The amount of useful light they produce is remarkable.

Yes, you are correct. I checked my build sheet and the way it reads is, "LED headlights with cornering lights." I had forgotten that the headlights themselves were included with the JCW. Off to order a cargo net now!

I like the build. I don't think I've seen pix of an all Rebel Green car with no stripes. I do love that color, that's the color I'd choose for sure. I was never a BRG lover either. How much is that puppy's sticker price?

Don't get the wheels and tyres. MINIs are always way over priced. Tire Rack and off-shelf wheels (17 and 18") that work with the brake kit installed. Lighter weight and better looking to boot.
