Supramo, did you paint your wheel or are these stock black? If you painted ..what did you do ...paint or powder coat?

Any chipping?

Thanks!

It's raining today or I would take a few more pics. Actually, if it wasn't raining, I'd be driving it, not taking pics!

Just picked up this 08 Cooper S JCW edition. 11,200 miles. Every option with navigation. How many of the R52 JCW editions did they make? It took me forever to find one.

Nice! 'Don't know how many they made but since I've got one, I'm always on the lookout and I've only seen a very few. And some of those aren't full JCW cars like mine. The guy I bought my car from found it on the showroom floor of a Los Angeles Ferrari/Lamborghini dealership where the original owner (a Utah car collector) had put it up for consignment sale. I guess it was unique enough (and the customer good enough) that the dealer said OK to selling it for him.

Very nice....I see the previous owner was big on chrome like on mine...Nice find....You'll see soon enough that it's really hard to wipe of the grin when you drive these little cars.

Yep. I was/am an avid motorcyclist and used to take every opportunity to ride. Since I got my JCW convertible, my poor bike has been gathering dust in the garage and I'm actually considering selling it. (Though some day, I'd like a newer bike.)

If you've got a cabrio, show it off! We need a place to compile all of our ragtops in one place so that we can see how all the different mods look when topless.
