Do you think one could be made with the engraving similar to the tips of the JCW exhaust? Too busy? Doug?

Don't know. Some of these designs are getting pretty involved, so maybe it's possible.

Where can I find a good picture?

example of the JCW logo which simply engraved in the exhaust tips.

I can't find a great photo of the tips but it is the general idea.

I'm still waiting for the US dealers to get the new part numbers for the 2007 models, so I can order a ****/boot/trim ring assembly, as well as a new shift lever.

I just spoke with another dealership yesterday, and one of the parts department guys told me it will be a while before they get the numbers.

Not the greatest picture but I hope this helps



The actual JCW symbol is to complex to look good (according to Doug) so here is my shifter:


And here is my wife's

Oh, sure! I can engrave it similar to the logo on the exhaust tips.
I just can't engrave it like the usual logo, where the letters in "John Cooper" and "WORKS" are blended together.

Putting "John Cooper" up above "WORKS" is certainly no problem.

Don't take this the wrong way, but that is the nicest **** I've ever seen.

I believe the '07 convertibles are the same as for the R53 (current'06 model) and the R56 (new model) convertibles wont be available until '08 model year.

Anyhoo the question still applies for the '07 R56 so don't mind me...
