Very nice! Love the color matched arches, rockers and jams. Wish you could order new ones that way from the factory.

Yeah, that's the only Sparkling Silver I've seen with the JCW Aero Kit. Nice!

That was a factory option back in the day. So it was probably the $2k for the lounge leather and probably $250 for the redwood door panels but the car was ordered with them.

Yes the car was actually originally a show room display car for a Mini dealership in Sydney Australia. I assume the dealership ordered it that way from the factory. I have never seen another car with the same interior option here yet...

Thanks guys. I really like the look of the color matched arches as well.

But it's not the KCW Aero kit, actually. It's just the same arches painted to match...it's more of a "poor man's JCW Aero Kit".

I bought the car used with 8k miles on it, and it came like that when I bought it. Love that look.

I love the wider pin stripes. The black and white is so graphic. Nice!

^^^ Car looks great! Of course, I'm a little partial to the black and white thing.

What coils did you go with? You set it at the perfect height, IMO.

Great Mini. I have always liked those wheels. The JCW aero kit looks terrific.
