I know this is the wrong section to ask this but I can't seem to find my item I'm looking for.

I'm looking for anyone selling their JCW muffler. Please PM me if you have one laying around. Thank you!

I wish they had the red stitching on the leatherette seats.

Its an aftersales option called an Aero Spoiler.

You can get them from dealerships and takes about 20 mins to fit

The diffuser takes about an hour

I *should* have got them delivered.. I picked them up from the dealer.. all the boxes fit in the JCW with a bit of creative packing

Did try it.. makes purple where it hits the CR accents. Sticking to red...too many colors for me otherwise.

Love the diffuser! If my dealer gets their act together today I might be able to pick mine up... its similar scheme as yours but black with red roof/mirrors and driving lights. Can't wait!

I agree. My build was the cloth but the car I could find has leatherette so no red piping or stitching. Not a deal breaker but would have been cool. The cloth seats reminded me of the GTI sports seats I always wanted but couldn't afford in high school. Love the touch of red. That being said the leatherette is fine; I had it on my first MINI and it worked out well. Everyone thought it was leather.

Asquared.. nice Roadster. But is your signature wrong or do they actually call White Silver, "Silver White", in Canada ?

Ya. Diffuser is such a bang for the buck. MINI OEM for about $300 a pop.

The pic of yours has me thinking about it since you have the same color scheme as me. How much did labor cost you?

Haha yep. I need to get a garage like yours...

Well, since I'm worth like $500 an hour, then I'd say labor cost me like $1500. LOL. Yeah, I did it myself. Took me forever though. I think I got stuck at trying to get one of the screws that were super hard to reach on either side. Here's a video (and there's a whole thread dedicated to how to do it yourself):
