must say if I am gettting a MCS I'll be wanting to tick as many of those boxes as possible for the JCW bits, they are awesome and really start to make the current cars look dated.

Its only a forum you know!

me to, but I doubt it, unless you disable the airbags as doubt the computer on ours will recognise the new airbags. And even if they do then who's to day the airbag deploys in the same way.

I already have my airbags disabled though for my JCW's...

...wonder if the runners are the same though

Front apron & side skirts look the biz.

Rear apron look very good also (much better than the stock S), but it almost seems like there is a missing set of rear lights above where the fog lamps are.

Not keen on the spoiler, I think it has gone over the "rice" line.

Gear shift indicator appears a lot better done compared to the previous version.

The JCW / Recaro seats will probably not be available in the US / Canada again, due to lack of sensors.

Oh yeah. Wonder why they've done that? Change for the sake of change?

probably because before it was an after thought about how it attached, and the long plate looks odd. This time with a perfect two point attachment it looks more considered and designed with the car rather than after the car

Hmmm, wonder if you could attach it to a Chili Spoiler then attch the Chili Spoiler to an old MINI.

Totally agree - that back bumper is all hammed up-looking like a late 80s supermini - yuk. Skirts and front look great. I'm going to have a lot of head scratching trying to work out what to do with that ugly rear end!
