Currently in a similar situation myself as you know, whether to get the jcw rears or not
Decided to, but then came along the unexpected - an £800 clutch replacement. So maybe not now, at least for a few months!!
I'd get the black jcw rears, I personally think they look classier in all black. Plus if you get a new MINI at some point, the blacks will fit in whatever colour it is - red won't!!
