I've just put in my order this week for a brand new MINI CS (in black) with the JCW Aerodynamic Kit. However, I was thinking of getting some other JCW stuff to get put on afterwards. The main the things I'd want is the spoiler and the alloys (10 spoke). I am aware there are 4 different type of JCW alloys. However, it's the 10 spoke light weight alloys I absolutely love, but got disheartened when the MINI garage told me they were £2,700!!!! (the normal ones are £1,200) Is that right? Not as bad with the carbon spoiler, but I still couldn't believe it was £1,700!

If someone has a price list for the JCW stuff, that would be brilliant (and to also confirm the prices I've been given!).

Congratulations on the order

Did you not post something similar yesterday about JCW wheels and prices?

Best to contact Chris at Woodmans - they are a suporting vendor, check out the vendor forum for contact details

Enjoy the new car when it arrives

I did on the general forum, but I guess I'll get a better response in this section.

I'm still also wondering whether to add DSC back on the car after I removed it over having the Visibility pack. Choices, choices, choices!

Posting the same thing in multiple forums is not the best thing to do - select the most suitable forum and ask the question once. If you have put something in the wrong forum then ask a mod to move it.

DSC - take it you will not regret it as it is a major safety feature. DSC and LSD together works well.

Sorry, I was only planning on asking the JCW question here seperately to the topic on my new car in general discussion .

It was LSD that I removed. I'm not sure about the DSC. We don't get much snow or ice down here in the south-east . For the car's abilities, I'm quite confident not to have it as I'd prefer to spend my money on the getting other JCW stuff.

Hi Tunster,

The LSD is worth every penny.......not that it's expensive. There is no way the 17" 10 spoke alloys are £2700. I got the 18" R105'S fitted from new for £700 + my chilli pack alloys.

Surely the CF rear spoiler is not £1700 i'm sure i saw this was around £300-400.

I think your dealer is having a laugh

I will give the salesman a ring again later. I think those prices included fitting, but it shocked me how much the alloys were. I want to add LSD back onto my options list as well.

Would be nice if someone here could give me some fixed prices.

Ring another dealer

There's not many people with the spoiler.

The R105 Alloys & tyre package retails at £1500. All JCW stuff has a 25-30 % dealer profit margin. So i got 20% discount and then they gave me £500 for my crown spokes. Total outlay of £700
