Factory John Cooper Works
Just got two in today... of course already sold.
One is PW/PW with Redwood Red, the other is AB/AB with Tuscan Beige.
First of all, each car looks very nice with it's color/interior combo.
Second, the Challenge wheels look sweet in person!
Third, the front brakes are awesome and fill up the whole wheel.
Fourth, the rear brakes are bigger which is nice, but I thought they would fill up the wheel a little more.
Fifth, no "Cooper S" lettering on the hatch? Just the new JCW logo badge in it's place.
Sixth, those brakes will be finding their way onto my car!
The PDI should be done later, I may go with the tech to see how it runs.

I will.
The only thing I noticed was a little square checkerboard emblem on the passenger side of the dash, near the vent...

I think the spacers for shipping are still in the springs, they raise the car a little. The PDI has not been done yet, the shop is crazy busy.

Excellent and thanks PARTSMAN for posting the JCW that just arrived.
It seems rare these days to actually see quite a few MC's on a dealer lot at one time due to the very high demand they have of late.

You're welcome...
and although I could never trade my '03, if I had the cash... I would buy one of these.
Actually, all those cars are sold. Every car that comes in is sold.

That makes sense then as many posting on NAM have run into a similiar situation,all pre sold that are on the dealer lots.

Thanks! Like the little checker touch on the piano black dash, hadn't heard about that before. I'll be switching it out for the CF dash anyway. Can't wait for tomorrow! Also, no JCW center caps for the wheels?

I still get that "OMG those red brake calipers are amazing" everytime I see a JCW. So true, was at the dealership 3x over 5 days and everytime I overhear a customer asking "Can I sit in that one over there" MA responds "oh that's been pre-sold sight unseen. Amazing.
