Hello my fellow Eclipse Gray owners! Here is my 2013 MCS. Got my NM Engineering Springs and purchased my Rota MC 18x8 from Dan at Mach V or fastmini.net. "Thanks again Dan!

I'm a few months in to ownership of my MCS and I am hooked! Happy with my sport stripes and eclipse grey. Went with 35% tint all around and thinking I might go darker next time. Personally not a fan of black rims. Biggest mistake was being talked into all seasons. Should have stuck with summer tires and sprung for winters. Oh, we'll. Next years purchase. Already added NM CAI and Alta RSB. I love this car.

Love the JCW Aero kit! Did you get it after or did you get it with the car? How much was it? Thats my next mod.
I got it with the car. I really debated about the cost, but now I'm really happy with it. I was back and forth on JCW tune and I'm glad I did NOT get that, because I'm having more fun upgrading it myself. Do love that aero kit though - big bang for your buck.

What did you pay for it? Noticed the cost to get from dealership and it's a pretty penny! Over $4000 painted and installed. Is that what you paid?

My wife and I both got them on our '12 MCS'. The smarter bet is to get the JCW Pkg., not the Aero Kit. The JCW Pkg is about $2k, and if you lease(like we do), then it's residualizable, and the Aero Kit alone, is not! Plus, you get the wheels and the other goodies on the JCW Pkg that you don't get without it. It is the best value for the money, IMO.

How would that work for me? Isn't it too late to negotiate into my financing? I have had the car for about a month. Don't think I can re-negotiate my payments to add JCW pkg? Just have to 'bite the bullet' as they say and get it as an additional aftermarket piece....
Agreed on JCW package (that's what I have as well). Get the nice red stitching inside, JCW door sills, wheels, etc. great deal overall. I am also a leaser.

Oh yeah, I'm a doofus on that one! lol Didn't read! Get in touch with Morristown Mini. They have the best prices, and can get it shipped to you already painted!

Where did you get your black headlight trims and grill?
Plasti-dip on head/tail light rings and grill. $5.99 at Home Depot. Just taped it off. Works best if you do lots of coats, and if you screw it up, just peel it off. Looking at doing red for the brake ducts and there is a tape from Outmotoring that can black out the chrome belt line. Then time to get some red caliper paint! I know - I'm a little out of control, but I do love it!
Called the parts department for Morristown Mini and the guy I spoke to didn't seem like he new his stuff? He quoted me like under $900 for the full kit unpainted. Thought that was way too low for 2012 JCW Aero Kit....?
I agree -have never seen it much less than $2000. Would make sure you are getting all of the parts (front/back bumper, side skirts, door sills, shift ***,etc).
