Gotta admit I wasn't a big fan of the 2nd Gen until I saw this..................

The 2007 Challange JCW! hawtness










Anyone have one of these puppies yet?

 

IMO, it could do without the rear wing, or a better-integrated rear wing.

Other than that, pure hawtness.

 

I love the rear wing. Great addition. The back looks bland to me without it.

 

is this a canadian special edition?

this is not the real challenge race car (this is: http://www.mini.com/com/en/mini_jcw_...nge/index.jsp), just an opt-up jcw mcs

 

The front bumper is a litte nicer, but I much prefer the stock sides and rear.

I could take or leave the spoiler; I prefer the GT wing.

 

It's a South Florida car currently on ebay... we don't get many Palm trees up here

 

That is hot. Love it.

 

That is a secksee Mini.

 

I would bid on it if I didn't have a car on order.

 

Love the double stripe with the contrasting color on the roof. Very nice!

 

side gills are from non s.....why? It must not be a factory jcw.

 

I prefer those over the chrome ones. My guess is is they wanted to not call it an 'S' which is included in the chrome ones.

 

Pretty common mod....the black ones are a lot better looking

What's the price? I bet it's through the roof.

 

Lose the wing, black the headlight rims, black wheels with a white attack line, black the door handles & gas cap.

 

I think that would be too much Robin. Maybe the head light trim rings and the tail light trim as well. I would leave the rest the way it is.

Course, I do see folks do everything they can to make everything on a Mini black.

I would also prefer the wheel and spoiler trim to be body color, rather than black.

 

Suh-weet!!!.. I like it just the way it is..

Here ya go... http://www.vistamini.com/Specials-New.aspx $45,000

 

Here's the ebay for sale link:

hahah $41k....that's what i figured. They have one just like that up here too.... same price range (it's even slightly used with like 800 miles on it). That's a whole lot to be spending on a MINI....seems like you could find a lot more bang for your buck. Or buy a moderately equipped MCS and an MC clubman for around $42k

 

Wonder how a R53 chilli red white roof, aero kit etc would look done like this?

 

That is hot! But at 41K, it's not hot enough...

 

They left off the carbon fiber diffuser and the rear wing looks like a tv antena from the 50's. Maybe they should wrap it in foil and it would get a better reception.

The side gills look plastic. Plus the stips are a lot more narrow than the Challenge where they are almost as wide as the scoop - they just stuck on the standard MINI racing stripes.

They also got the wheels wrong by going with the horseshoes.

Otherwise it's a nice car for someone to fix up.

 

oh yeah, the remote control car antenna has got to go...can you imagine this on the Challenge? (it doesn't have an antenna)

 

Get real even with all the mods 41K.

 

That's a niiiiice JCW...especially in person.. I saw it when I was at the dealer a couple weeks ago!

 

see what i mean, at least get the stripes right if you are a pretender..
