Added the JCW grill, JCW wheels, JCW carbon fiber shift ****, and JCW badge. Next will be the JCW strut brace. I also added an S rear spoiler. I determined that if BMW can badge a 3 series with M logos as part of a package and it's not an M, then we can do the same with a MINI. When I bought my 2008 MINI the dealer catalog listed all JCW components and accessories as options for a base MINI. The exception was the tuning kit of course. I like the looks and performance of the JCW parts. Here's my non - S mods.

New VIP exhaust (mellow system - resonator back) installed. I've been posting this everywhere, ha! Like everything about this exhaust - took a chance since couldn't find a good video to hear the note and got lucky. Has a great note - throaty and the deceleration note is deep, too.
Also like that I did the whole job myself - and got to see firsthand that this is a quality exhaust. Fit was perfect. Under 2 hours start to finish.
Old exhaust...

The grill fit fine with the original hardware/pins on the top. The bottom was a little loose but nothing that effected it greatly. I used the original grill surround as well. I used Plasti-Dip on it. After closing the hood all was fine.
