Any JCW upgrades for my 2006 R50?

I was wondering if there are any John Cooper Works upgrades for my R50? Any feedback anyone? If not, I'm looking into a MSD ignition sytem with new plugs and high performance wires along with a cold air intake, and sooner or later a Borla exhaust.....

I think I've recommended the JCW Sound Kit to you in a previous post. It's fantastic. Your dealer can quote you on the kit and install.

Next for me will be either the JCW brake kit, or the JCW sport suspension upgrade.

Well there are several things you can do, but the ignition system upgrade won't net you any HP.
Start with the cold air intake we've found big gains there.

Then move onto the exhaust
The Megan racing exhaust is really affordable.

But if you do want to go JCW I have a complete R50 JCW kit on the shelf, but it is expensive.

I have an R50 JCW airbox kit, and I also have a R50 JCW Sound kit with a JCW muffler, and JCW airbox.

How much would that JCW airbox kit run? Also how much for the sound kit, and what does the sound kit include? I did not see them on your website.
