Got the JCW tuning kit installed today. Love it. Throttle responds better, more torque, more power, steering feels more responsive, and sounds better too!
I like the JCW wing too, but my girlfriend thinks it looks funny, so we didn't get it.

JoseB,
Nice wheels. Are those BBS RG-R? I was going to buy those or RG-F's but Tire Rack didn't have either in stock. Where did get them?

Car looks great, Dale.
If I would have gotten our mini just for me, it would look pretty darn close to your's...
your mini looks like the evil twin to my wife's MCS!

I love the bronze rims w/ the Chili Red.

I wasn't sure how it'd look, so I went with alloys, but man! There's always next time...

Cooper dressed up
Here's mine. I have all the options and a JCW aero kit. Drives great and averages 35 mpg. Never thought I'd love the Mini as much as I do. I took a test drive with a friend buying one and instantly fell in love with.

Had to have one!
