Did you have a wc50? There were only a few hundred of those made right? I assume your new one is a JCW since you posted in this forum. I've never driven one but I hear they are really fast, and I think mine is pretty fast. What mods? I think the Rebel Green is the exact same color.

Congratulations, loving that color scheme. Be sure to post up some pictures for us when you get some. How long will you be playing the waiting game for?

no, i never had a wc50. all i have is a production # at this point! So yes, a new JCW, and yup, rebel green is the color used on the wc50. to get the look right, the first mods are exterior: carbon fiber bits and some tint. i am really gonna try hard to control myself this time around! really, i mean it!

It's always going to be "just this one last thing and it's perfect. No more." It's great and a curse at the same time! Lol. Welcome back. Great choice with Rebel Green! Classic mini color.

I guess great minds think alike! I thought the same thing, but the first mod happened after about 100 miles! Followed by numerous other ones shortly thereafter, I have been under control for a couple of thousand miles now.
