Post pics of your Factory JCW MINI

My new used 2013 JCW! White Silver and Championship Red leather. Some cool unusual options include the factory coolant temp and relative boost gauges, the JCW leather/alcantara instrument panel, JCW Strut Bar from the factory, and a full clear bra on the front bumper, hood, door edges, inside of door handles, and rear bumper load edge.

Thanks! I want to say it's a pretty unique configuration. The dealer had a window sticker and it was around $43k!! I got it for a much better price of course, and with only 9k miles I thought it was a steal for a virtually brand new car.
In the next couple days I'll be putting back on the JCW Leather/Alcantara steering wheel I had on my old MINI. And maybe the Helix intercooler too. Good thing I kept those

First post here (long time forum guy on other forums)
Just picked this guy up, wonder if anyone recognizes it?
2012 with only 13k miles
Koni sports with H&R setup, rides pretty smooth and firm. Yeah it gets bumpy at times, but I plan on changing out the RFT
Yup it sits nice and low, scrape on all kinds of things up front
The brakes are nice (but it could also be coming from a 4200+ lb car), best part is when they squeal when braking.
Wish it had a bit more squeal, Manly brakes.

Performance wise who knows?! I'm going to run the car stock until the warranty expires and I have a better feel for the machine. An exhaust could be cool for the sound, and I'd like to research a more resolved shock/spring combo that doesn't lower but gets the ride/handling more in line with an Ohlins setup off a Renaultsport Megane provides. Long term I'm really interested in a rear-seat delete that somehow still have some marginal security for items and not add a ton of road noise. That might take a lot of investigation as it would need to be reversible too.
I have an account with ECS and I've bookmarked a few things...

$41k sticker and only 9300 miles I picked up for nearly 50% off. Crazy how someone could spec all these tasty items then be "meh" after barely driving it over 3 years. Turns out that my car's 1st owner was someone in the Hamptons, way out on Long Island, NY. Probably an errands car that sat next to a Ferrari and Rolls in a massive garage.

Well you already have a nice list going. Sounds like you know what you want. if you get the front and the rear, you already have the middle being a F JCW car.

In 2011 they didn't have the aerokit standard but after that year I think they changed it.

Welcome to the club, yep it is an fJCW. Giveaway is the placement of the JCW badge on the front lower bumper, aero side markers and most likely the JCW badge on the right side of the trunk where the Cooper S logo normally resides.

MarkUSAF - Nice color combo! I like the tint in the rear. Its on my list to do after I get all the maintenance up to my liking.
