spice orange JCW

I ordered a new JCW on Saturday. I chose Spice Orange. I was wondering if anyone has a pic of a Spice Orange JCW with the regular S body? I am not to sure of the color.

I'm not sure about it either. You'll have one of very few though.

Have you seen any in person? I'm curious why you would order a color (apparently) sight unseen??

I saw a couple at the dealer over winter, but never really got a good look at them. Now the dealer has one and its a regular cooper with the 15 inch wheels. It is kind of hard for me to imagine this car looking like a JCW.

I think it is gorgeous. I hate blue cars, but ordered our Oxygen Blue sight unseen, and I really like it.

Spice Orange is gorgeous

Congrats on your choice, 2008 Cooper S!

Were I to order a JCW, it would be Spice Orange on both the body and roof. I think it's just a GORGEOUS color.

I had a spice orange as a loaner and I was like wow I really like this color now and so do admirers as they commented and made a point to come over and ask me what colot they call it. I said it was a loaner but I wish it were mine though

I have a SO MCS, I have a few pics in my gallery, but they aren't that great looking. I can say I love the color and get many complements. There are several pics over in the SO owners club thread

Thanks for the link. I went to the dealer to trade in a car I had and they low balled it and I walked out. It is a 2005 Taurus in perfect condition loaded. Kelly blue book trade in is 6500, they offered 3800. My mom wants to buy the Taurus and we went to get a loan tonight for her and they told us the car is worth 9500. So if the loan goes through I will order the car tomorrow.

I ordered my SO JCW back in March and should pick it up this week. Just got to the dealer yesterday but my MA was nice enough to send over some pics.

The anthracite headliner is standard on the JCW.

Yes, it is standard. Luckily I was on this site in 2008 when I ordered my first Cooper S and knew to pick the anthracite black option. Just like I made sure to get all the options so that the toggle switches were filled. The only problem now is the dealer said the ordering site has been down since Monday and they still have not been able to order it. I hope they can soon because I got 1000 off and that will run out if I do not take delivery by July 5th.

That is a sweet color. I think black wheels would look awesome on that car.
