Hello All. We just bought a 2019 Clubman JCW. We are waiting for it to be shipped to us and I wanted to start gathering parts for it.

1. Can someone tell me the part numbers for the OEM JCW stripes in red? I can't find them on any of the Mini parts sites. It is the angled hood stripes with the wider stripe on the outside and thinner stripe on the inside. One of them has a chip and I'd like to replace them and then put PPF over the entire hood.

2. Are the black clip on door handle covers from SMPS2012 the best way to go or should I try and find/install the Black Line handles?

3. Now for the important stuff. Who makes the best tune?

4. What are our exhaust options? Seems somewhat limited for this platform. I've found Remus and JCW Pro. I want something with great tone and good burbles. If I do a sport-cat will it throw a CEL? Can that be tuned out?

5. What are the best vendor sites for performance parts, OEM parts or accessories?

Thanks for educating me.

 

1. I don't know the MINI part number, but the stripes are 3M material, so any place that wraps cars should be able to replicate them.

2. Cost is the only concern here. The covers work just fine, but the MINI parts will have more endurance.

3. Are you talking full engine tune or "add-on" box? There are many of the add-on boxes (Racechip, Dinan, etc), but if you are looking for a full-on professional engine tune then maybe letting us know the city you're in will assist with that info.

4. I have a JCW Pro exhaust on my F56 JCW and it is great. Can't speak to the others, but since it is s MINI part there is none of the dealer BS about non-MINI parts fitted if there is an issue. In other words, it is warrantied with the car.

You might also want to consider a Sprint Booster. It makes the throttle response great even without Sport Mode.
