(nice) Pix of my new 2011 JCW.
Just picked it up a few days ago. Had ordered black rims but it came in silver. I'm feeling good about the mix up. Thinking I'm going to powder coat them gun metal. As soon as my JCW shifter gets to the dealer I'm getting that installed.
15% tints all around.
Next step...suspension/lowering.
As an autojournalist who's driven every car to hit the street. This is the only car to buy for less than six figures.
Hope you enjoy the pix!

From the factory it was about $38,000.
Then between the wheel, aero kit and shifter I think another $4k or so.
However, rumor has it aero kit coming from the factory starting in March for much cheaper

Looks like Midnight Black with the Chili red roof is THE color combo for the 2011 JCW.
I do miss seeing pics of your old car that was vinyl wrapped in matte black. Now that was a great look.
Interested in getting rid of some of that chrome? Lyle from Vinyl Styles will be doing installs in my driveway the weekend of April 16th. I live over the TZ bridge near the Palisades mall. Got lots of other MINI modders on the list already including the guy that sold me my JCW. He has the same exact car as you. Come on by so we can see double.
But most of all drive it and enjoy it. Its a sweet car. I am still in love with mine.

Its the JCW alcantara steering wheel. You can get it from the dealer and have them install it. Its expensive at $600 with installation. Check out your dealers accessory web site.

When I had my last Mini wrapped in matte black vinyl they used electrical tape on the belt line. While after 3 years, some of the vinyl wrap was suffering, the belt line was perfect.
I believe I've read on NAM about others doing it with the same. I was actually just about to do a search to find out exactly what size tape I need.
