JCW brakes, front and Rear?

i have a JCW mini, which comes with a set of "upgraded" brakes, you may have seen the red calipers in other cars.

anyway, keeping with my "mod it so it looks stock" concept i have been trying to keep to on my car, i was wondering if anyone has (or if its possible) put JCW front caliper brakes on the Rear axles of the car!

seems like there is enough clearance... so, should it not be a simple matter of getting some front JCWs and slapping them on the back?

how cool would that be! quad JCW brakes!

You can't do that. You wouldn't want to anyway....the brake bias would be awful and your stopping distances would be much longer. You could just paint the rear calipers if you like
